My grandmother played Tomb Raider while I watched as a kid and we both grew to love the series as we got older, sadly she's passed away now and can't experience the new Tomb Raider games with me but I still like to play the game "with grandma" and see and talk about all the things that I think she would have liked about them. My grandma's raiding tombs in heaven now but I'll keep playing for her, her adventurous spirit will never die and our adventures will stand eternal. I love you grandma.
Same with my dad he showed me the gaming world and it's shaped my life. tomb Raider gold in that trapezoidal shaped box. Rememaber whan games came in boxes.

When I was younger, I lost the most important person of my life. I didn't know how my life would go without him, and my health was declining. My family was very worried. A friend was selling his playstation, with games. And the first game I played was Tomb Raider 4, The Last Revelation. And everything has changed. This game awakened something in me. A curiosity that had left me returned. I discovered a passion for history, for ancient civilizations, and for the world around me. I was 9 years old and I thought everything was going to end for me. Today, I am 25 years old, and I am finishing my studies in Egyptology and Medieval History (Medieval centuries of Middle East). I speak 6 languages, and I can read 3 ancient languages. So, thank you Lara. Thank you for making me stronger and for supporting me through my bad times. Thank you for participating in my reconstruction as a child, and in my construction as a woman. You are not real, but you have been like a friend. You have been a great source of comfort to me.
Those first 6 games bring back so many memories for me. Great times. I often felt like Lara was almost like that crazy friend you go on a fun adventure with solving puzzles. Lol. Then again I was only 8 when the original game came out in 1996. 😄 I always had an overactive imagination.
Shadow of the Tomb Raiders main menu theme that plays first before the main theme does are the only themes I like in the reboot trilogy, SOTTR theme is both sad and dark but also a mysterious tone to it which is the point but it's actually really beautiful. The main menu theme gives the feeling of tragedy and disaster has happened and you can feel that when you play the game and I love that and the Mayan, jungle feel to it too. But SOTTR theme will always be my favorite from the reboot trilogy!
I agree with you, it is like a feeling of greatness, of return home, victory, a thing like that. I was 14 when it was released and Tomb raider has always been a symbol of my childhood and somehow a great family coziness. Listening to the soundtrack makes me feel so warm, loved, like child again. Yet, now 28 years old, more like Lara herself, am adult woman, protagonist of my own story. It is indeed, an undescribable feeling
I love that theme but I like the anniversary because the original theme capture the wonderful and beauty of the ancient civilizations and tons Lara steps in but the anniversary theme is more soft in tone to represent the new lara and wonder and beauty of the tombs is captured perfect in the anniversary theme
I watched friends playing TR1 and 2 on their computers back when the games came out in my childhood, but my personal first Tomb Raider game was Last Revelation. Many years later I bought the first four games for PlayStation (played them on my PS2 around 2008), but couldn't get into TR3. I sold them all, because of financial problems ( I was a student lol). Only many, many years later I bought them all on Steam. Played TR1 in 2018, and 2-5 this past year. And I can safely say, TR1 is still the best (with TR2 a close second). I also love TR3 now. Sadly I was hugely disappointed by The Last Revelation. I have no idea how I beat the game as a kid. I found it very frustrating now haha.
I adore the Legend theme, how it starts slow and almost shy at the beginning, I feel so nostalgic and then it transforms into that powerful score, which has something ancient and temporary to it at the same time
yes!! i played that game when i was 5 threw back so much memories, my first xbox game ever and i loved it i still do but i wanna downlad it on my xbox 1 the new one again but idk where to find the game or to downlad it

The fact that nobody is talking about TR Last Revelation's theme is a true crime. I cry when I hear that theme..... for me is going to be, by a long shot, the best game in the series
Ikr? It is mysterious and tells stories of secret treasure chambers, tombs and traps. It's also a bit sad and tragic as Lara dies in the end, staying forever in those ancient tombs.
For me TR4 was also my faviourite one, mostly because it was much longer then other ones. It took me over 3 days of actual play time to finish the entire game. The story was also much more fleshed out.
TRIV (the last revelation) is probably the most important game in my whole life. My father played it when I was a kid (he played all TR games, but that one has the bigest impact on me), and I watched as he play. It's hard to believe I've decided to be an archeologist thanks to that game. And I regret nothing.
I swear, my childwood was the same. Watching my father play TR2 and Last Revelation and then growing up to play Legend and Anniversary with him... I love TR so much
My childhood too! It feels like a tomb raider curse, any gamer of tr has so a childhood I think. A father who played the best game, and now we are the player... ❤️
In my opinion I will always regard tomb raider angel of darkness as one of the best themes. It may be one of the worst tomb raiders if not thee worst but that theme is just a perfect balance between mellow, sorrow, and epic action all blended together.
I'll go on record stating that I love Angel of Darkness. It had the best music overall (though nothing tops the original TR theme), atmosphere, and story in the games. It's a shame it was unfinished and so buggy gameplay wise.
It's a remake, and addition of many new parts and rearrangement of "Tomb Raider IV - The Last Revelation", just in case. I hear other TR's themes in this too.
When I saw the ending scene in TR: Last Revelation, I was so heart broken and sad for years!! Happy to have Chronicles, but I thought that was the end of her. Then AoD came out, but wish they explained how she managed to escape. I don't care what people say, AoD was a good game! I loved Dark Lara, it just made sense with her time line.
It was originally supposed to explain it in details after Last Revelation, but was cut. Then I learn the final boss fight in AoD was suppose to be an illusion of Lara's past while fighting Eckhardt. That would've been one hell of a game, but they cut the content and never improve on the controls. I learn something new about AoD every day.
@@SanguinaryStrife ruclips.net/video/gHdMlKjUdko/видео.html here's a retrospect of the game that this guy did some serious research. Enjoy watching his stuff, it's really good.
TR IV is the best to me. As a child, I was a lot into ancient egypt, stories of tombs and mummies and so on. It was fascinating and scary at the same time. Then I got my first TR game, The Last Revelation. I was instantly hooked. The game was pretty scary and I got stuck several times not knowing what to do. Each time I died, it was the main screen with the music and the background visuals that made me try again. It was a camera ride through some treasury chambers and dark tempel-like rooms (also here on RUclips), and I would always ask myself whether I could visit these places in-game as well. And the music... damn so mysterious, but also sad and tragic. As if the main screen already lets you know that Lara will not leave these ancient egyptian tombs alive.
Although my first game was Tomb Raider III, l agree a lot with your opinion about TR IV, that music really has different vibes depending on your age and if you are playing or not, and that animated main menu really makes it mysterious and asking of if she will ever make it. Although my favourite main theme is Tomb Raider III, it has a way different vibe and l love it :)
It's so beautiful to see all these comments from each of us connecting these amazing themes with our lives and memories..childhood nostalgia 🎶🔥..greetings from Greece 👊💙
Years later I still get goosebumps from the ending of the Underworld theme, like, even now.. 24:30 This woman has been my personal role model since childhood, with a sharp mind, wisdom, incredible fortitude and control over emotions. She is always so calm and focused.
Tomb Raider's theme was the best. it was romantic and adventurous and held so much promise. My daughter and I played the games over the Christmas holidays. It made this single mom so happy to spend so much time with my kid.
TR3 was my first Tomb Raider game - first one I played, first one I finished. It is relatively hard, but once I became good at it, TR1 and TR2 felt really easy (by comparison). And that's why TR3 has a very special place in my heart. For me, TR4 is the best among the classics, and perhaps the series should have ended there. Still, Chronicles isn't as bad as people say it is. AoD on the other hand... ouch.
Missed opportunity, yeah. The story itself was a solid enough foundation, it just needed sooooo much more time to reinvent the ideas and mechanics that didn't work and needed polish. Thankfully, devoted fans are trying their hand at it themselves.
I like the new series, but it makes me sad every time that the original personality of Lara Croft created by Core Design is not being used in the Lara that is going around right now. That’s why I am definitely not obsessed with the newer games. Loved the Underworld series, because it had a little Lara in it. But now… nothing is left from good old miss Croft. Sad.
The original Lara was very inconsistent. Toby Gard (creator of Lara) left Core Design because he was unhappy with the direction Core and Eidos were taking the character. He had insisted on having animal enemies in the original TR game because he didn't want Lara to be killing humans all the time, and he didn't like how sexualised she was becoming in the marketing. In TR2 onwards, Lara turned into a mass murderer. The final level of TR2 ends with Lara's home filled with a pile of corpses, while she nonchalantly disrobes and takes a shower. The version of Lara we see in Legend, Anniversary, and Underworld is much more consistent with how Gard originally wanted Lara to be portrayed because he helped write the story for that trilogy.
My dad and I used to play this all of the time on the PS1 when I was little. When they announced the remaster, I was so happy to hear they were bringing back the classic Tomb Raider games. I've got the first remaster trilogy on ps5 now and it brings back to my childhood when I would sit in the living room and play Tomb Raider after school. I even saw the announcement trailer for the second trilogy that will be released next year.
I started playing these games as a kid with my dad. They filled me with such a powerful sense of wonder. Because of them, I'm so eager for adventure and travel, and I'm so fascinated by history (especially account Egypt - TR4). These games hold a special place in my heart. The original TR1 theme warms me every time I hear it.. Thank you Lara. You've drastically helped shape who I am today
I know the gaming community said angel of darkness was the worst in the series, But i absolutely loved it, Even tho the controls were clunky and the game was unfinished i still enjoyed it. Collecting all secrets & solving difficult puzzles playing those classics from CORE DESIGN, I will always cherish those good times.
Exactly, I loved the dialogue part of TRAOD, it was absolutely great. From what I know, it was revolutional at the time. Core design had a great idea on how to make TR enjoyable and not boring. The locations, puzzles, everything. TR. I to IV were pretty similar at their mechanics, the fifth part was a little different but it resembled them, and TRAOD was a very fresh idea. They planned on making a trio of games like this one, but they sadly never got to do that :(
I liked the first reboot, but now the games are too "recent" for me, similar to other new games now. I don't hate them, it's just not tomb raider anymore.
When I heard this it made me sad cause I remember the feeling of wonder while exploring this world and amazement of the graphics which at the time where so good and remembering the music which really made the world around you mysterious and come to life, I don’t recall another game ever making me feel the way Tomb Raider 1 and 2 did. Wish I could experience that feeling again…..
reading your comment I remembered my grand father too,when I was a child all the family used to play tekken 3 on ps1 and he played with us, he had a young spirit ,I really understand your feeling... they are all in a better place now..
legend of tomb raider, and the second tomb raider makes me so emotional i played them all my childhood and it throws me back to the good memories, now here i am dying my hair brown and dressing just like lara. i guess it’s just the influence🥲🤙
Today I realized why I love Tomb raider lll the most. That's because of the music, the most mysterious, soft and unforgettable! Thanks for the collection!
Lara Croft's character got ruined...utterly. Total personality change, and that goes for the game too. What a shame. If that wasn't bad enough, they make the graphics so demanding, you need a super computer to play it on PC.
@@DaveThompsonfairlife4all I agree with you about everything except for the last part. For such beautiful graphics, it's optimized more than any other game i played. Many other games have much worse graphics and they even run worse, not optimized enough. Graphics/performance/optimization for the Tomb Raider games is 9/10 in my opinion. Much better than Ubisoft at least..
Tr have been granted a new life since Trilogy. I abandoned the old tr as they are boring and the control - I can say stupid. I played through the great pyramid in tr1. However I will never look back since 2013.
These newest tomb raiders don't even contain single melody from the old serie. It feels like they totally said goodbye to the original and were not even pretending these games were not fanfics
I was 8 years old when my father bought a PC. I'm from Russia and in the 90s we had a big crisis, all our games were pirated, but the main thing was that they were. I continued to play Dandy, but when I saw Tomb Raider, I immediately fell in love with this game and never returned to Dandy. I still remember the very first cutscene of the very first level of the very first part of game and this music from the main theme, amazingly done. Lara Croft became an idol, it seems to me that I understood my values through this game and it influenced my formation as a person. Even now I admire the character of this character in that old version, I don’t like the new versions of the game. But what I also adore about old games is that the graphics were much worse than the current ones, but the atmosphere, mystery, antiquity and expressiveness of the scenes were still conveyed simply wonderful. Excellent work on the scenery and ambience from visual images to sounds and music.
Back in my 90s childhood, the only Tomb Raider games I played were TR2, TR3 and TR4. TR2 was the first game I played, so I prefer this menu soundtrack (3:15). No matter how old, it feels magical.
I don't care what anyone says, the Tomb Raider (2013) reboot's theme is my favorite ESPECIALLY the piano theme! XD This is coming from a person who likes the Survivor trilogy the most. I like old games and themes too though. They're all unique in their own way imo.
The classic are the classics tho and will remain the original sound that belongs to Lara Croft, because they represent the first Lara . Others are fine too but they aren’t the official song that belong to her. There can be only one real Lara, and that is the one that Core Design created and has tought up.
I close my eyes and listen to thes soundtracks and fell with my childhood but when i open my eyes i surprised that im old and no human gonna leave u to love what u want they will call u baby just becaus u attach with ur childhood dream so it's better to keep ur felling insid of u or right it here in youtube caus i know thers lot of like me.......
The original theme (and its version in Anniversary) is an absolutel classic, one of the best melodies in this media. A truly iconic piece. AoD might be a game of questionable quality as a whole; but its score was incredible. Grand and operatic, with a sence of adventure and excitement fully intact, the work of Peter Connelly there was truly remarkable (and his 2018 crowdfounded remastered re-release of his Tomb Rider work is definitely worth checking out if you're a fan). Even despite the diminished reliance on the oboe, harp, and other instruments so associated with TR music, the main theme in AoD is one of my favorite musical pieces among cinematic, stage, and gaming scores all together. I love Legend and Underworld as games, but their scores (Underworld especially) felt a bit too "immediate-music for trailers"-sort of way. They still had memorable pieces in there overall, and Legend was definitely a more unique one in terms of scoring between the two. Everything past 2010 feels competent, yet somehow a tad too generic and boring to me, sadly. The "interchangeable trailer action music"-feeling gets much stronger with them, too. Don't get me wrong, there's occasional swell of emotion and excitement still present; and those scores are solid and do their job, overall.. But they just don't feel 100% authentic Tomb Raider to me, like there's something lacking now. (Though the 2018-edition had been the more interesting of the bunch, with complex compositions and attempts at finding a newer, more mature sound, while retaining some of that classic TR feeling - a noble attempt, at least. I hope the next installment will be truly revitalizing for the music for the franchise, getting rid of the staleness and finding its own voice and sound once more). That's just my opinion, tho.
Man I miss the days when video games had so much mystery and soul in them. The graphics were not the best but that pushed the developers to really dive deep into the story and build the charisma in the characters. Just hearing the Last Revelation theme brings so much nostalgia and it leaves me wondering what happened to the mysterious and enigmatic Tomb Raider series... It's not like the new TR games are bad or anything. I like the idea of surviving in a more realistic way but it's just not the same experience anymore. 😕
how I agree with you, you would know. I also noticed that this hour of the game is empty and cannot be compared with the old ones. As if they exchanged charisma for the beauty of the picture ....
Love the way Underworld's theme works its way up to a fantastic crescendo - powerful stuff! That entire soundtrack is just epic. Anniversary is magical - almost whimsical... and whatever that lady is singing about in Legend's theme I don't know, but she sure does it beautifully!
I’m playing the original for the first time and let me tell you this game is HAAARD! I’ve been on the 4 keys for hours (damocles, thor etc) like omg. I’m trying to get the feeling of the old ones.
I felt like the new tomb raider is telling a story how Lara croft became a bad ass woman , she survived in that yamatai island and get through many things. So maybe that's why she looks like a boo boo kitty(?) like you said. Sorry for my bad english, but I hope you understand 😊
Original Lara felt like an actual character. Survived a plane crash, was fed up with how shallow society was afterwards, and yearned for something more: pure adventure. She was disowned, worked writing travel journals to fund her journeys, and was her own boss. That's awesome.
I just miss Lara Croft the woman. In the latest games she's more like Lara Croft the girl and I can't find it in myself to like her for some reason... I just want the woman back. I admired her and aspired to be as strong when I was young. For some reason seeing Lara Croft the girl I feel like nursing her... ah, maybe it's just my maternal instinct calling!
I am in love with all of them!😊 Everything,connected with Tomb Raider is perfect!I really enjoy the games and Lara Croft,but even I like and the new reboot version,I miss the old one...😕 And I really hope the next game to "combine" theese two versions!It would be great!May be something like that-to be continue of Tomb Raider Underworld,where Lara loses her home and every hope about her parents and the motivation to go on another adventure anymore,and then to remember all her moments and missions from the past and to remember how her adventures started and how she transformed the younger "reboot" Lara to the classic one and to start feel nostalgia and saddnest,becouse she doesnt have reason to go anywhere and becouse she is gona end everything.And then to realise that the hope dies last and to find more reasons to continue her "raiding" and to find more information about mistical ancient lost artifacts,which can let her see her parents again or even once more and to talk with them for last.And then to find ambition to become better of what she is doing and to improve every her skill from the beginnin to this moment and to become a combination from the reboot and classic Lara Croft and her weapons to be her dual pistols and her bow,which she had already saved as a...memory...of her first adventures..And the whole story as a style to be combimation and the game and even the puzzles...I cant even imagine how interesting and good would it be! (Sorry for my bad English;I am Bulgarian..😅)
I think that a great Tomb Raider game would have Lara as an old woman trying to pass the torch to some other young girl. This way you could have a soft reboot that does not clash with the way we saw original Lara. ^^'
i used to play tomb raider with my mum and today 5 years ago she passed away but this music always reminds me of the times and memories i had with my mum.. :"(

Tomb Raider II and Legend themes are perfection.
Yes
Angel Of Darkness is my fave ❤️
Tomb raider 2 ❤️
Agreed, those were the best ones
The Last Revelation is my favourite by far. An absolute masterpiece.
Anniversary is my favorite, very relaxing
I was wondering why no1 mention Anniversary
@@benmathew250 i love that game, i wanna play it on my xbox 1 so bad the new one but idk how
i wnana play it on my xbox 1 new one so bad but idk how
@@lvvqss its backwards compatible, so if you have the disk you can just pop it in there and download it, it might also be in the market
@@Mr.Pig_ oh my xbox doesn’t have a disk, i found the backwards computable anyways
TR I and IV have the most beautiful and emotional main menu melody
And Legend is EPIC 😎
Tomb Raider Legend has a snippet of the Celtic female vocal song sang called Ailein Duinn. Great piece
Thank you!
LEGEND IS THE LEGEND
legend is the least tomb raider OST
Aod and legend 🔥
Angel of Darkness!!! Yes my personal favorite!
Underworld is also fantastic
The survivor trilogy all had different composers, but I like that they manage to keep the musical consistency of the trilogy
12:50 "I Feel Stronger Now!"
Lol!
@@goldengod9949 😊
That too, lol. Was it chocolate candy bars?
A croatian here. I am too 😂. Same love for The Angel of Darkness 🙌
I grew up playing The Last Revelation almost every time I got home from school. The theme song is still stuck in my core memories. So magical.
When I saw the ending scene in TR: Last Revelation, I was so heart broken and sad for years!! Happy to have Chronicles, but I thought that was the end of her. Then AoD came out, but wish they explained how she managed to escape. I don't care what people say, AoD was a good game! I loved Dark Lara, it just made sense with her time line.
Apparently a Bedouin tribe found and rescued her according to Core's original story.
It was originally supposed to explain it in details after Last Revelation, but was cut. Then I learn the final boss fight in AoD was suppose to be an illusion of Lara's past while fighting Eckhardt. That would've been one hell of a game, but they cut the content and never improve on the controls.
I learn something new about AoD every day.
@@Wardog22476 wow! That would have been interesting. Damn, I wish they had more time to work on it. I wonder why they rushed it?
@@mish375 really? Where is this info, I must read. I used to be all up in tomb raider information, I wish I had kept all the magazine on the game.
@@SanguinaryStrife ruclips.net/video/gHdMlKjUdko/видео.html here's a retrospect of the game that this guy did some serious research. Enjoy watching his stuff, it's really good.
Lara was, is and still will be my inspiration. Not just to move forward and chase my dream, but also to not forget about the best time in my life. 🥺
TR IV is the best to me. As a child, I was a lot into ancient egypt, stories of tombs and mummies and so on. It was fascinating and scary at the same time. Then I got my first TR game, The Last Revelation. I was instantly hooked. The game was pretty scary and I got stuck several times not knowing what to do. Each time I died, it was the main screen with the music and the background visuals that made me try again. It was a camera ride through some treasury chambers and dark tempel-like rooms (also here on RUclips), and I would always ask myself whether I could visit these places in-game as well. And the music... damn so mysterious, but also sad and tragic. As if the main screen already lets you know that Lara will not leave these ancient egyptian tombs alive.
This comment!
@@celiohelder1 glad to know I'm not the only one!
Although my first game was Tomb Raider III, l agree a lot with your opinion about TR IV, that music really has different vibes depending on your age and if you are playing or not, and that animated main menu really makes it mysterious and asking of if she will ever make it.
Although my favourite main theme is Tomb Raider III, it has a way different vibe and l love it :)
Getting stuck was probably one of the best parts about the game.. you definitely had to figure things out on your own..
Same here
It's so beautiful to see all these comments from each of us connecting these amazing themes with our lives and memories..childhood nostalgia 🎶🔥..greetings from Greece 👊💙
I love how they're still using the same 4 notes on the newer games, truly one of the few things that haven't changed after all those years
Years later I still get goosebumps from the ending of the Underworld theme, like, even now.. 24:30
This woman has been my personal role model since childhood, with a sharp mind, wisdom, incredible fortitude and control over emotions. She is always so calm and focused.
I agree, she is incredible and she teaches to be better
14th febraury we will feel nostalgia again ❤️🥲 Can't wait 😊
@BadassgamezRevival I suggest you tune in on 14th Feb. He's brilliant
Tomb Raider's theme was the best. it was romantic and adventurous and held so much promise. My daughter and I played the games over the Christmas holidays. It made this single mom so happy to spend so much time with my kid.
TR3 was my first Tomb Raider game - first one I played, first one I finished. It is relatively hard, but once I became good at it, TR1 and TR2 felt really easy (by comparison). And that's why TR3 has a very special place in my heart.
For me, TR4 is the best among the classics, and perhaps the series should have ended there. Still, Chronicles isn't as bad as people say it is. AoD on the other hand... ouch.
Missed opportunity, yeah. The story itself was a solid enough foundation, it just needed sooooo much more time to reinvent the ideas and mechanics that didn't work and needed polish.
Thankfully, devoted fans are trying their hand at it themselves.
I have memories with last revolation💝💝💝
That theme song though...it's fantastic.
@@mish375 yes it is😍💝
It's magical.
Fiero di essere cresciuto con Tomb Raider 2, tra i migliori della prima saga
🔥un vero uomo
Devono rifare tomb raider II e gli altri sullo stile anniversary.
Brings back so many memories. Wow. 🙌 Thanks for putting this together.
I like the new series, but it makes me sad every time that the original personality of Lara Croft created by Core Design is not being used in the Lara that is going around right now. That’s why I am definitely not obsessed with the newer games. Loved the Underworld series, because it had a little Lara in it. But now… nothing is left from good old miss Croft. Sad.
The original Lara was very inconsistent. Toby Gard (creator of Lara) left Core Design because he was unhappy with the direction Core and Eidos were taking the character. He had insisted on having animal enemies in the original TR game because he didn't want Lara to be killing humans all the time, and he didn't like how sexualised she was becoming in the marketing. In TR2 onwards, Lara turned into a mass murderer. The final level of TR2 ends with Lara's home filled with a pile of corpses, while she nonchalantly disrobes and takes a shower.
The version of Lara we see in Legend, Anniversary, and Underworld is much more consistent with how Gard originally wanted Lara to be portrayed because he helped write the story for that trilogy.
@@Rocket1377fk Toby Gard. He's a hypocrite. My favourite Lara is AoD, which he had no part in lol
I will always adore Troels work on TR, it's just perfect.
Anniversary's theme is such a calming reinvention of the og theme. Replayed that track to death when I was a kid.
Psx Tomb Raider themes make me feel something else. Like i shouldn’t be in this world. I need to be in another full of adventure and danger
It is more than just game, I have wonderfult memories with it and it takes a large place of my heart and feelings
Tomb Raider the Angel of Darkness the best episode and main themes music x)
My dad and I used to play this all of the time on the PS1 when I was little. When they announced the remaster, I was so happy to hear they were bringing back the classic Tomb Raider games. I've got the first remaster trilogy on ps5 now and it brings back to my childhood when I would sit in the living room and play Tomb Raider after school. I even saw the announcement trailer for the second trilogy that will be released next year.
I started playing these games as a kid with my dad. They filled me with such a powerful sense of wonder. Because of them, I'm so eager for adventure and travel, and I'm so fascinated by history (especially account Egypt - TR4).
These games hold a special place in my heart. The original TR1 theme warms me every time I hear it..
Thank you Lara. You've drastically helped shape who I am today
Tomb Raider legend and anniversary 😍😍😍
2 is seriously a masterpiece
I remember watching my dad play tomb raider 1 in the 90s. The music brings me right back.
I know the gaming community said angel of darkness was the worst in the series, But i absolutely loved it, Even tho the controls were clunky and the game was unfinished i still enjoyed it.
Collecting all secrets & solving difficult puzzles playing those classics from CORE DESIGN, I will always cherish those good times.
Exactly, I loved the dialogue part of TRAOD, it was absolutely great. From what I know, it was revolutional at the time. Core design had a great idea on how to make TR enjoyable and not boring. The locations, puzzles, everything. TR. I to IV were pretty similar at their mechanics, the fifth part was a little different but it resembled them, and TRAOD was a very fresh idea. They planned on making a trio of games like this one, but they sadly never got to do that :(
I liked the first reboot, but now the games are too "recent" for me, similar to other new games now. I don't hate them, it's just not tomb raider anymore.
@@diamondangel3442 Totally agree 100%
I really loved AoD, and I think if they had the opportunity to finish it properly, it would have been one of the best.
@@maitetothecore Amen
When I heard this it made me sad cause I remember the feeling of wonder while exploring this world and amazement of the graphics which at the time where so good and remembering the music which really made the world around you mysterious and come to life, I don’t recall another game ever making me feel the way Tomb Raider 1 and 2 did. Wish I could experience that feeling again…..
I love TR3 theme so much!!
i fell like crying every time i hear the beginning of the first game... so pure, so unique and serene 💝
wish i could go back 25 yrs ago 😓
reading your comment I remembered my grand father too,when I was a child all the family used to play tekken 3 on ps1 and he played with us, he had a young spirit ,I really understand your feeling... they are all in a better place now..
So many memories, from so many years of Lara! A franchise to keep heart deep ❤️
tomb raider 3/4 have this feeling behind them. its indescribable.
legend of tomb raider, and the second tomb raider makes me so emotional i played them all my childhood and it throws me back to the good memories, now here i am dying my hair brown and dressing just like lara. i guess it’s just the influence🥲🤙
Brings back so many memories from my childhood. I am in tears! Love this!
Today I realized why I love Tomb raider lll the most. That's because of the music, the most mysterious, soft and unforgettable! Thanks for the collection!
Nostalgic Nostalgia...best games ever to be made !!! Totally Legendary!
I think we all can agree that TRAOD and TRL have the best themes
you mean Anniversary pal
TR2 for me
I've had some amazing memories with all the games. TR2013, Rise, Legend, TR1 and TR3 are highlights for me among the games
They are all beautiful in my opinion, every of them have their defects and their strength
i feel like the new tomb raider never capture the atmosphere.
It's still fun and exciting
It doesn't. The original trilogy had an ambience that's totally absent in the modern games. The Core games were truly the best.
Lara Croft's character got ruined...utterly. Total personality change, and that goes for the game too. What a shame. If that wasn't bad enough, they make the graphics so demanding, you need a super computer to play it on PC.
@@DaveThompsonfairlife4all I agree with you about everything except for the last part. For such beautiful graphics, it's optimized more than any other game i played. Many other games have much worse graphics and they even run worse, not optimized enough. Graphics/performance/optimization for the Tomb Raider games is 9/10 in my opinion. Much better than Ubisoft at least..
Tr have been granted a new life since Trilogy. I abandoned the old tr as they are boring and the control - I can say stupid. I played through the great pyramid in tr1. However I will never look back since 2013.
Underworld theme is a masterpiece and undurrated game, the dark fall of lara and the mansion croft.
These newest tomb raiders don't even contain single melody from the old serie. It feels like they totally said goodbye to the original and were not even pretending these games were not fanfics
I agree
The theme from the first game is an absolute masterpiece. Thanks for posting this!
I was 8 years old when my father bought a PC. I'm from Russia and in the 90s we had a big crisis, all our games were pirated, but the main thing was that they were. I continued to play Dandy, but when I saw Tomb Raider, I immediately fell in love with this game and never returned to Dandy. I still remember the very first cutscene of the very first level of the very first part of game and this music from the main theme, amazingly done. Lara Croft became an idol, it seems to me that I understood my values through this game and it influenced my formation as a person. Even now I admire the character of this character in that old version, I don’t like the new versions of the game. But what I also adore about old games is that the graphics were much worse than the current ones, but the atmosphere, mystery, antiquity and expressiveness of the scenes were still conveyed simply wonderful. Excellent work on the scenery and ambience from visual images to sounds and music.
Back in my 90s childhood, the only Tomb Raider games I played were TR2, TR3 and TR4. TR2 was the first game I played, so I prefer this menu soundtrack (3:15). No matter how old, it feels magical.
yep!
Its been 5 years without Tomb raider 💔 we need powerful one with touch of the classic style of the real TOMB RAIDER 🔥
The Angel Of Darkness and Underworld, is the best
I'm obsessed with this game I played every and each one of them from A to Z. One of my favorite games ever
I don't care what anyone says, the Tomb Raider (2013) reboot's theme is my favorite ESPECIALLY the piano theme! XD
This is coming from a person who likes the Survivor trilogy the most. I like old games and themes too though. They're all unique in their own way imo.
The classic are the classics tho and will remain the original sound that belongs to Lara Croft, because they represent the first Lara . Others are fine too but they aren’t the official song that belong to her. There can be only one real Lara, and that is the one that Core Design created and has tought up.
Agree 100%. 2013 theme's not only my favorite TR theme but also favorite gaming theme ever. I do absolutely love all the other games tho
Once I wanna go and see nevada desert with TR3 OST music ON :D
I did that!! ♥ Go and do it. It's an amazing feeling!!
Best days of my life
Legend ❤
Perfect background music.
TRAOD theme
I close my eyes and listen to thes soundtracks and fell with my childhood but when i open my eyes i surprised that im old and no human gonna leave u to love what u want they will call u baby just becaus u attach with ur childhood dream so it's better to keep ur felling insid of u or right it here in youtube caus i know thers lot of like me.......
You are never old! Embrace that T.R. energy 😍😍😍
@@annbreadin yeah💙
The original theme (and its version in Anniversary) is an absolutel classic, one of the best melodies in this media. A truly iconic piece.
AoD might be a game of questionable quality as a whole; but its score was incredible. Grand and operatic, with a sence of adventure and excitement fully intact, the work of Peter Connelly there was truly remarkable (and his 2018 crowdfounded remastered re-release of his Tomb Rider work is definitely worth checking out if you're a fan). Even despite the diminished reliance on the oboe, harp, and other instruments so associated with TR music, the main theme in AoD is one of my favorite musical pieces among cinematic, stage, and gaming scores all together.
I love Legend and Underworld as games, but their scores (Underworld especially) felt a bit too "immediate-music for trailers"-sort of way. They still had memorable pieces in there overall, and Legend was definitely a more unique one in terms of scoring between the two.
Everything past 2010 feels competent, yet somehow a tad too generic and boring to me, sadly. The "interchangeable trailer action music"-feeling gets much stronger with them, too. Don't get me wrong, there's occasional swell of emotion and excitement still present; and those scores are solid and do their job, overall.. But they just don't feel 100% authentic Tomb Raider to me, like there's something lacking now. (Though the 2018-edition had been the more interesting of the bunch, with complex compositions and attempts at finding a newer, more mature sound, while retaining some of that classic TR feeling - a noble attempt, at least. I hope the next installment will be truly revitalizing for the music for the franchise, getting rid of the staleness and finding its own voice and sound once more).
That's just my opinion, tho.
Man I miss the days when video games had so much mystery and soul in them. The graphics were not the best but that pushed the developers to really dive deep into the story and build the charisma in the characters.
Just hearing the Last Revelation theme brings so much nostalgia and it leaves me wondering what happened to the mysterious and enigmatic Tomb Raider series...
It's not like the new TR games are bad or anything. I like the idea of surviving in a more realistic way but it's just not the same experience anymore. 😕
Yeah! The older games were so mysterious
Amen brother 🙏 Sure the graphics weren’t all realistic, but the story and the music was gold. I miss those classics. Wish they were like that today.
how I agree with you, you would know. I also noticed that this hour of the game is empty and cannot be compared with the old ones. As if they exchanged charisma for the beauty of the picture ....
Tomb raider 1996 so emotional ..it was good times
I recently completed tomb raider 2013 and at one point I almost cried. And I think that tomb raider 2013 is the best part😪🔥
Nothing beats the original theme. All of Tomb Raider 1's music is perfect.
I wish Lara croft in real life, I'm just saying. If Lara croft in real life, I'm gonna friend with her. 😢🥺❤️
1,2 and Legend Trilogy has a special place in my heart
Tomb Raider 2013...so much nostalgia l love that game and it has an amazing theme.
Love the way Underworld's theme works its way up to a fantastic crescendo - powerful stuff! That entire soundtrack is just epic. Anniversary is magical - almost whimsical... and whatever that lady is singing about in Legend's theme I don't know, but she sure does it beautifully!
It's a version of Aileen Duin, a classic celtic? Song. But if you search the name you will find different versions of the song.
I’m playing the original for the first time and let me tell you this game is HAAARD! I’ve been on the 4 keys for hours (damocles, thor etc) like omg. I’m trying to get the feeling of the old ones.
Such good memories. Stick with it!! It's so rewarding when you figure it out
Back when video games didn't hold your hand and you have to figure out what to do. 😊
@@Butterflywings011 yesss feels so good to finally figure it out!
I'm pretty sure AoD music was recorded by a real orchestra, incredible how good it sounds.
I miss the old Tomb Raider. She wasn't a boo boo kitty/ Rambo like the new one is.
Same tomb raider 3 the best ps2 was the console growing up
Yes I feel the same
I felt like the new tomb raider is telling a story how Lara croft became a bad ass woman , she survived in that yamatai island and get through many things. So maybe that's why she looks like a boo boo kitty(?) like you said. Sorry for my bad english, but I hope you understand 😊
Original Lara felt like an actual character. Survived a plane crash, was fed up with how shallow society was afterwards, and yearned for something more: pure adventure. She was disowned, worked writing travel journals to fund her journeys, and was her own boss. That's awesome.
I just miss Lara Croft the woman. In the latest games she's more like Lara Croft the girl and I can't find it in myself to like her for some reason... I just want the woman back. I admired her and aspired to be as strong when I was young. For some reason seeing Lara Croft the girl I feel like nursing her... ah, maybe it's just my maternal instinct calling!
I am in love with all of them!😊
Everything,connected with Tomb Raider is perfect!I really enjoy the games and Lara Croft,but even I like and the new reboot version,I miss the old one...😕
And I really hope the next game to "combine" theese two versions!It would be great!May be something like that-to be continue of Tomb Raider Underworld,where Lara loses her home and every hope about her parents and the motivation to go on another adventure anymore,and then to remember all her moments and missions from the past and to remember how her adventures started and how she transformed the younger "reboot" Lara to the classic one and to start feel nostalgia and saddnest,becouse she doesnt have reason to go anywhere and becouse she is gona end everything.And then to realise that the hope dies last and to find more reasons to continue her "raiding" and to find more information about mistical ancient lost artifacts,which can let her see her parents again or even once more and to talk with them for last.And then to find ambition to become better of what she is doing and to improve every her skill from the beginnin to this moment and to become a combination from the reboot and classic Lara Croft and her weapons to be her dual pistols and her bow,which she had already saved as a...memory...of her first adventures..And the whole story as a style to be combimation and the game and even the puzzles...I cant even imagine how interesting and good would it be!
(Sorry for my bad English;I am Bulgarian..😅)
I think that a great Tomb Raider game would have Lara as an old woman trying to pass the torch to some other young girl. This way you could have a soft reboot that does not clash with the way we saw original Lara. ^^'
@@rhaenyrareigns2200 it sounds interesting😊
@Siyana Stoyanova здравей :)
i used to play tomb raider with my mum and today 5 years ago she passed away but this music always reminds me of the times and memories i had with my mum.. :"(
be strong, if you feel bad, remember Lara Croft, she will tell you what to do
Im sorry for your loss my friend. Remember the original Lara, she will be the key to good memories you two had with each other.
The original main theme is always great ! 👍
Forever my favourite game!!! I wish the game went back to the original soundtrack versions....
Tomb Raider the Last Revelation
I just lived in Lara's world . Keeley Hawes voice 👧🏻...and the environment. Pure escapism . Nearly thirty years later ,I still play the old games...🔫
I remembered only being a kid in the 90s and playing this. The Tomb Raider games are phenomenal.
