Tomb Raider Chronicles is a singleplayer third-person action, adventure, puzzle, TPS and shooter game in the Tomb Raider series.
The Windows version lacks the dynamic shadows of the Dreamcast version.
On Windows 8 and later, the game does not display properly in fullscreen; use the fullscreen border fix to resolve this. The GOG.com version does not require this fix.

Issues unresolved
- There is a save bug in the level 13, Red Alert!, that prevents you from proceeding to the next level. A workaround is listed here.
Game crashes right after Eidos logo
- Caused by an incompatibility with the sound drivers or codecs audio. The only solution is to play the game by disabling audio from the setup launcher, but this is not an adequate solution.
Issues fixed

- Tomb Raider Chronicles does not go fullscreen correctly on Windows 8 and later.
- The GOG.com version already includes this fix.
