Lara was made of only 540 polygons. Versus the +40,000 now.

Lara’s trademark braid had to be cut from the game.

Ms. Croft’s breast size was, like, totally an accident. Totally.

The Croft Manor area was built in a single weekend.

Lara has the Ark of the Covenant, in her house! More specifically, her foyer.

Only six people are killed throughout the original Tomb Raider. Versus the WELL over 100 in the 2013 release.

Shelley Blond, the voice of Lara in the first game, only got to play her once. A total of 5 different voice actresses have played her now.

Sony wasn’t going to allow Tomb Raider on the Playstation at first.

“Lara Croft” released two terrible albums (Female Icon and Come Alive) that only came out in France.
