Tomb Raider 1 Gold Curiosities:

Return to Egypt: The panther came after me up to the rock and so died over there. And then I pulled the tomb from under it.:-) Download

Atlantean Stronghold: This level can be finished in just a few minutes, moreover, it's a legitimate solution due to Phil Campbell, the designer of the level. (thx Sys) After loading the Save game press Ctrl then pull up yourself and make a backflip.

The story of the bug as it was published in The Croft Times:

Croft Times: "Why is it possible to end the game too early by jumping into the black hole from the cliff or jumping into the hole from the small pyramid? Is this an expert player curve ball?"

Phil Campbell: "Well.....At the time I designed this there was a web site called Tomb Racer, in which people sent in finishing times for various levels - we knew the persistent player could get into the hole, so we wanted to create some SHOCK times for the racers amongst you! Doesn't make the level much fun, but certainly gets you an amazing time!!!"

 An interesting bug from the 'Atlantean Stronghold' level

After loading try to climb to the platform ahead. (CTRL+Up arrow) Lara falls down while pulling herself up and finds herself beneath the platform! What might the explanation be? Most likely it's due to the "block bug" - if Lara gets into a block or pillar the game engine will place her on the top of it. (This is a very important component of the corner bug.) That happens in this case too, due to the gap beneath the platform... but this time the bug itself is buggy too. Since Lara is not completely in the platform the algorithm will not put her on the top and being at the edge she falls down. Thus, the block bug works the opposite way this time. Download
