Tomb Raider II: 2 Open Source Clones Compared
One entry here is Core Design/Eidos's own 1997 source code release, with no further build or feature information available in this dataset. TRX is a separate, from-scratch community reimplementation that unifies Tomb Raider 1, 2, and 3 into a single engine, adding features like a restored braid effect and a photo mode, and it requires legally obtained disc images of the original games to supply its assets.
