[ October 30th 2006 ]
Tomb
Raider Chronicles - the internet's number one
destination for intelligence and media on Lara
Croft and Tomb
Raider - and Planet Lara - where the world
revolves around Lara Croft - have joined forces
to celebrate ten years of Lara Croft, from her
inception as the genre-establishing lead in Tomb
Raider, through ten turbulent and emotional years
of globe-trotting adventures.
During
an phenomenal 10-year-journey, Lara Croft has
transcended the world of cyber-space and left
an indelible mark on popular culture. Her adventures
have sold in excess of 30 million units, and the
Tomb Raider brand has been globally exploited
to promote an array of products; from comic-books,
sports drinks, running shoes and more recently
to raise awareness
of skin cancer.
"Tomb
Raider became the world wide phenomenon that gripped
the world and has continued to for 10 years, the
world was rocked and so, its time to see behind
the scenes and celebrate a decade of Lara with
a media explosion of many unseen assets." said
Chris Ridgeon, webmaster of Planet Lara.
"Lara
Croft has proved herself a formidable force, and
Eidos have successfully produced, established
and exploited a brand which has - for the most
part - stayed true to its roots. It's important
to salute the past ten years and pay tribute to
all those responsible for their part in creating
a video-game Legend." said Justin J. Farr, Editor
in Chief of Tomb Raider Chronicles.com
