Monetarily, the [[GOG.com]] version is the best version of Tomb Raider. For the same cost of the single game on [[Steam]], you can get the first three Tomb Raider games. GOG.com's version is also DRM-free and includes various art and avatars.
+
The [[GOG.com]] is cheaper and includes [[Tomb Raider II]] and [[Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft]].

=== DOSBox compatability ===
 
−
The original disc release works in DOSBox as long as you remember the following:
 
−
 
 
−
* You need to mount the CD manually, as described on [[DOSBox]].
 
−
* You might have to unplug certain joysticks. For example, [[Xbox 360 Controller]]s have been reported to cause the menu to enter an infinite spin. Joystick support can be disabled if it is not being used.
