10 Original Instalments In Iconic Video Game Franchises You Must Play

8. Tomb Raider

She may have been completely revamped, made more lean and far less over-sexualised, but the original 'Raider has an old school charm all her own.

In part thanks to a control scheme that's ostensibly Resident Evil's 'tank controls' with more specific platforming aspects, you'll really need to make sure Lara places her feet on exactly the right spot before making a jump, otherwise you'll plummet to your death every time.

Such a specificity in control adds a ton of peril to all the more vertically-scaled tombs and environments, providing a real feeling that if you're not careful, it could all go sideways. Pair this with Lara's '90s badass' look, some great puzzles and level design that genuinely feels like you're uncovering ancient ruins and secrets every step of the way, and simply everyone should see where gaming's most famous heroine got started.
