Formerly owned by [[Eidos Interactive]], then by Square Enix after their acquisition of Eidos in 2009, the franchise focuses on a fictional British archaeologist [[Lara Croft]], who travels around the world searching for lost artifacts and infiltrating dangerous tombs and ruins. The gameplay generally focuses around action-adventure exploration of environments, solving puzzles, navigating hostile environments filled with traps, and fighting numerous enemies. Additional media has grown up around the theme in the form of film adaptations, comics and novels. Development on the original ''Tomb Raider'' game began in 1993. Its success prompted Core Design to develop a new game annually for the next four years, which put a strain on staff. The sixth game, ''The Angel of Darkness'', faced difficulties during development and was considered a failure at release. This prompted Eidos to switch development duties to Crystal Dynamics, which has been the series' primary developer since then. Other developers have contributed either to spin-off titles within the series or ports of mainline titles. ''Tomb Raider'' games have sold over 67 million copies worldwide. The series has generally met with critical acclaim, with the series being noted as one of the pioneers of the action-adventure genre. Lara Croft herself has become one of the most recognizable video game protagonists in existence, winning numerous accolades and earning places on the Walk of Game and ''Guinness World Records''. Alongside being praised for pioneering female characters in video games, she has also been the subject of controversy due to her sex appeal being used for marketing. ==List of video games== ===Main series=== * ''[[Tomb Raider]]'' (PlayStation, Saturn, MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, N-Gage, PocketPC, iOS, Android) ** ''[[Tomb Raider Gold]]'' (Microsoft Windows) * ''[[Tomb Raider II]]'' (PlayStation, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, iOS, Android) ** ''[[Tomb Raider II Gold]]'' (Microsoft Windows, Mac OS) * ''[[Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft]]'' (PlayStation, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS) * ''[[Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation]]'' (PlayStation, Dreamcast, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS) ** ''[[Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation - The Times Exclusive Bonus Level]]'' (Microsoft Windows) * ''[[Tomb Raider III: The Lost Artifact]]'' (Microsoft Windows, Mac OS) * ''[[Tomb Raider Chronicles]]'' (PlayStation, Dreamcast, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS) * ''[[Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness]]'' (PlayStation 2, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS) * ''[[Tomb Raider: Legend]]'' (PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox, Xbox 360, GameCube, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation Portable, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS) * ''[[Tomb Raider: Underworld]]'' (PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, Microsoft Windows, macOS, Nintendo DS, Mobile phones : J2ME) * ''[[Tomb Raider]]'' (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, macOS, GNU/Linux, NVIDIA Shield) * ''[[Rise of the Tomb Raider]]'' (PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows) * ''[[Shadow of the Tomb Raider]]'' (PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows) ===Spin-offs=== * ''[[Tomb Raider]]'' (Game Boy Color) * ''[[Tomb Raider: Curse of the Sword]]'' (Game Boy Color) * ''[[Tomb Raider: The Prophecy]]'' (Game Boy Advance) * ''[[Tomb Raider: Apocalypse]]'' (Interactive TV game : Sky Gamestar) * ''[[Tomb Raider: The Osiris Codex]]'' (Mobile phones : J2ME / ExEn) * ''[[Tomb Raider: Quest for Cinnabar]]'' (Mobile phones : J2ME / ExEn) * ''[[Tomb Raider: Elixir of Life]]'' (Mobile phones : J2ME / ExEn) * ''[[Tomb Raider]]'' (slots) (Web browser, Mobile phones : J2ME, iOS, Android) * ''[[Tomb Raider: The Temple of Anubis]]'' (Interactive TV game : Sky Gamestar) * ''[[Tomb Raider: The Reckoning]]'' (Interactive TV game : Bell ExpressVu) * ''[[Tomb Raider: Legend: Tokyo]]'' (Mobile phones : J2ME) * ''[[Lara Croft's Poker Party]]'' (Mobile phones : J2ME) * ''[[Tomb Raider: The Action Adventure]]'' (DVD Player) * ''[[Tomb Raider: Puzzle Paradox]]'' (Mobile phones : J2ME) * ''[[Tomb Raider]]'' (Arcade : Pachislot) * ''[[CR Tomb Raider]]'' (Arcade : Pachislot) * ''[[Tomb Raider: Secret of the Sword]]'' (Web browser, iOS, Android) * ''[[Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light]]'' (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, iOS, Android) * ''[[Lara Croft: Reflections]]'' (iOS) * ''[[Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris]]'' (PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows) * ''[[Lara Croft: Relic Run]]'' (iOS, Android, Windows Phone) * ''[[Lara Croft GO]]'' (iOS, Android, Windows Phone) * ''[[Tomb Raider: Escape the Tomb]]'' (Web browser) * ''[[Tomb Raider]]'' (Arcade) * ''[[Tomb Raider VR: Lara's Escape]]'' (Android : Samsung Gear VR) * ''[[Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Path of the Stars]]'' (Web browser) * ''[[Lara Croft: Temples and Tombs]]'' (Web browser, iOS, Android) ===Compilations=== * ''[[The Tomb Raider Trilogy]]'' (PlayStation 3) ===Remakes/Remasters=== * ''[[Tomb Raider: Anniversary]]'' (PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, Wii, Microsoft Windows, macOS, PlayStation Portable, Mobile phones : J2ME) * ''[[Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition]]'' (PlayStation 4, Xbox One) {{Tomb Raider}}
