Tomb Raider - A Tarnished Legend 72
An anonymous reader writes "1UP.com has posted a fantastic piece on the Tomb Raider series that examines how the franchise has been tarnished over the past few years -- and questions whether Lara can still win back the hearts of gamers. What's especially amusing is the inclusion of GameRankings scores, demonstrating the series' consistent drop in quality (Tomb Raider 1 averaged an 89%, while the latest installment, Angel of Darkness, came in at 54%.)."

It was developed on Sega Saturn (or demoed on those, at least).
The release was simultaneous on the three platforms.
The first two games were the good ones. They were good PSX games,
with amazingly large levels for its simple memory. The PC versions
did improve it graphically, and the engine looked tons better in
Tomb Raider 2 if you had 3D hardware.

Not having tried this, I can't guarantee it will work. If you don't have luck with VDMSound, you might want to try DosBox 0.65 instead.
