[ 8 October 2024 ]
BBC Archive has published an interview with Heather Gibson, Stuart Atkinson and Gavin Rummery, some of the team that made Tomb Raider, about their surprise hit and how the British computing boom of the 80s has furnished the UK with a supremely talented generation of programmers. The Money Programme - Retro Gaming - was originally broadcast in 1997 and is available to watch on the official BBC Archive YouTube channel.
Tomb Raider was originally developed by Derbyshire-based studio Core Design and published by Eidos Interactive on 24th of October, 1996. The Lara Croft-helmed video-game has gone on to become a powerful franchise, spawning eleven mainline entries, three motion picture adaptations starring Academy Award-winning actresses Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander, a number of Lara Croft spin-off games, promotional crossovers and a steady stream of merchandise.
Hop on over to the official BBC Archive YouTube channel to view the segment on Tomb Raider from The Money Programme.
