Key points
- Use Tomb Raider Automated Fix or Tomb Raider Retail Fix to run the game on modern systems without DOSBox.
- Frame rate is capped at 30 FPS.[1]
- PC version is missing some of the content of the PlayStation version, particularly some music tracks and higher quality cutscenes. Use the Retail/Automated Fix or GliDOS to restore the content.

Extras

- Crocodile Distance Patch fixes the crocodile in the Tomb of Tihocan level so it can't kill you from over a distance or while you're in other parts of the level.
- Braid Mod adds the strangely longtime missing braid to Lara's hair.
- Unfinished Business with added music triggers makes UB levels more atmospheric with proper music trigger events.
