Tomb Raider 2 was one of the first games I got for the PlayStation. I remember spending HOURS with my sisters and friends trying to trap the butler into the freezer of her mansion.

Good memories.

Santa got me Windows version for Christmas 1997 after I saw it on tv in some video game show.

I was stuck for 3 months in the cave in the very first level.

Eventually someone told me that I could get answers on the internet (what's that?), which meant biking to the library and paying a certain amount (maybe 20BEF?) per 30 minutes to use the internet.

The solution came to me on a website called Game-Revolution!

Oh, and there is a bug in the game that if you save while underwater, your breath bar resets upon loading. Very handy in level 7.

And lastly: while the re-releases aren't remasters, they invoke a nostalgic feeling that I rarely get.

BEF?

Belgian Francs, presumably.

20 BEF would be around 0.5 EUR around the time when the change happened. Nowadays it would probably be around 5 EUR or something.
