I like the old Tomb Raider games. Have a dedicated box just for playing them. Partly nostalgia, partly just for tinkering with them, trying out new custom levels, using downloaded savegames where I can jump to my favorite parts of the game. I'm talking TR1, TR2 & TR3. TR4 for the ability to create custom levels using the TR4 level editor. Modern Tomb Raider games bore me to death. I think the old TR games by Core Design are the best, and they're hackable too. Plenty of mods can be done, like changing textures, and some tools even allow you to customize Lara and give her new attire.

They're all reasonably good IMO. Though honestly I find the controls from the mid-oughts and later much more approachable. Original engine games required so much anticipation, timing, and pixel perfect execution they feel sluggish and tedious now. Still the original was a tech marvel, running reasonably well when on Saturn.

Have you actually played the reboot of tomb raider made in 2013? Having played the original games when I was younger, the reboot is indisputably better in almost every respect: graphics, exploration, storyline, camera, controls, etc. Like all games that attempted photo realistic graphics to approximate the real world, the original tomb raider has aged about as poorly as the graphics in goldeneye for the Nintendo 64.
