4. Naked Lara Croft Existed In The Game
For some reason that it's hard to empathise with today, there was a time when seeing a pair of pointed conical breasts on a glaringly polygonal video game character was actually something that pretty much every (mostly male) gamer wanted to do. Yes, in much the same way that Final Fantasy VII's Aeris proved that games could connect emotionally with gamers, Lara Croft proved that game could connect with us sexually. After all, how did the world expect adolescent gamers to react when they had to face Lara's fine piece of cereal-box booty through so many hours of playing Tomb Raider? Inevitably, rumours of a scrapped 'nude code' for the game began surfacing before long, causing thousands of desperate, rabidly horny gamers to scour the web in search of it. Of course, they'd never find it because it didn't exist, and so would have to click off elsewhere to satisfy their sordid needs. With that said, if you're inclined towards the old polygonal poontang, then - I probably shouldn't be telling you this - there are mods out there now that will nudify Lara Croft in Tomb Raider immediately. Just don't expect to retain your shame afterwards.
