Are the old Tomb Raider games still enjoyable and good? I've never played any of them.

I'm trying to motivate myself to play them. They are good. The problems with them are purely technical. For instance the Sega Saturn version is the highest framerate version since the framerate is uncapped but the worst performing version. The PSX version looks like shit and the PC version is lost to MS DOS or some shit.
If we had a full framerate version with FOV/widescreen and all the bells and whistles I could tolerate them.
But yes they're pretty good games. I have a soft spot for them and I've only ever beaten the first one. The games maintain an autistic community to this day thanks to no competitiors to the series ever emerging and the series itself going off the rails, somewhat like Resident Evil. They even make their own levels or mini-length games.
All we can hope is one of the several fan projects to finish their custom engine. They've been going on for some time with good progress but shit outside the development itself fucks it over.
Mouse support for camera would be nice too.

Play 3 and onwards in the psx era. Play Anniversary if you want to see TR1. Avoid Angel of Darkness and try out Underworld if you like the feeling of Anniversary.

Just play this shit and dream of what we should have. Game just needs a software upgrade.
Don't listen to that fucking retard.

Tomb raider games are slower paced games that require plenty of exploring and thinking unlike The Nu tomb raiders. You can get them all working on windows 7 from my experience. Controls are gird based, but it works well with lining up jumps.

In general they aren't good but you'd be hard pressed to find a competitor for it's niche.

Yes. The original 3-4 are all time greats. Check out pcgamingwiki or a similar site if you want to get them running on a modern PC. If you want to skip the old games Legend is pretty good. Do not play Angel of Darkness.

nuLara ain't so bad, guys.
However IMO the early games (first trilogy, maybe) are the only ones that are truly good.

Those aren't really "Old Lara" though. Nice numbers.
