General
You must have these minimum system specifications for the game to function correctly.
Minimum System Requirements
- MS-DOS 6.0 and/or Windows 95/98
- Pentium 60 processor (90 MHZ or greater recommended)
- 8 MB RAM required (16 MB RAM recommended)
- 2X CD-ROM drive required
- Super VGA VESA compatible video card
- Creative Labs Sound Blaster sound card or 100% compatible.
Most systems will need MS-DOS drivers installed correctly for both the sound card and the CD-ROM drive. You will need to contact your hardware manufacturer and have them help you set these up to run properly in DOS mode.
Please note: We did not test Tomb Raider with laptop/notebook systems and therefore we cannot guarantee compatibility. Due to the variety of hardware configurations that ship with today's laptop systems, it would be impossible to configure a game that would work with all of them. Many laptop/notebook computers are limited in their ability to be used as a gaming machine. This is because of memory configurations, their micro-channel architecture, port configurations (i.e. no place for a joystick) and sound systems that are primarily designed to be used with productivity software.
The other common problem is that laptop systems will attempt to compress the traditional version of the standard 101-function keyboard (found on almost all desktop systems) into a much smaller keyboard configuration. This is usually done by relying on multifunction keys that allow the user to assign different functions to the same key. Unfortunately, this has been known to cause problems with our games.
Additionally, Tomb Raider is not supported using Windows NT, Windows 2000, compressed hard drives, or Windows emulators. Although the game might run, its performance and stability will be questionable.
