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.
