You can supplant this entry for whichever your personal 'Raider of choice would be, as TR III's more expansive levels, Last Revelation's stunning climax or the more recent Uncharted-like entries are all fantastic releases that made their mark on their respective years.

Everything from realising we used to think this clumped up mess of pixels was sexy as hell, to the 3D platforming that required you stand in just the right place otherwise you'd have to repeat huge chunks of levels again - it's a wonder it took off at all.
