I replayed the original (1996) a few months ago on pc. I patched it for modern controller compatibility and increased resolution, textures etc and it still holds up very well. Give it a level or two and even the tank controls aren't an issue if you approach the game in a relaxed manner, which is easy to do as enemies are very sparse, and that brings me on to the highlight of the game which is still 100% present today, the overwhelming sense of isolation, scale and atmosphere contained throughout which is what made Tomb Raider an absolute classic.
Highly, highly reccomended to anyone thinking of giving it a playthrough.

Glad you enjoyed it! I used a guide on steam to get it running in a more modern format - ultra wide support, unlimited saves, etc. I still ran into several issues with the game - some of the later levels have questionable level designs, I encountered two separate levels where you can reach the end and become stuck because you missed something earlier in the level or completed the puzzles out of order, and a glitch with the mirror critter where it breaks after a load. Overall, I enjoyed it, but it’s clear that game design as a whole has evolved enormously from the original game. The combat is uninvolved, the movement is clunky, and the puzzles are pretty simplistic. I couldn’t recommend it to someone today in the same way that I could recommend the original Mario, Warcraft 2, or Doom, which all hold up pretty damn well in comparison. With that said, it’s a real piece of history, and it’s worth a play through if you’re interested to see the progenitor of modern action adventure games. I’m still looking forward to playing the rest, some for the first time.

I would totally buy a collection that included all five of the original PSX games made by Core Design. That was Tomb Raider at its finest (and most pure) form.
The first trilogy by Crystal Dynamics is pretty ok too, but those don't interest me nearly as much, since I can already play them on Xbox One (BC) Though I wouldn't complain if they were included in the collection.
Anyway, please be true.
BTW, Capcom should do the same with the original RE trilogy. Release them on current consoles and Steam, hopefully with a few optional extras like quick-turn on all three games, door skip, AI enhanced backgrounds, etc.

I'll buy this for Angel of Darkness.
They remade the first game, obviously, and it was pretty good, but even that is over a decade old by now, and I highly doubt they're going to give that treat to 2-5.

I do have an itch to go play the original game. I had it on PC when it came out and it was so good.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
The Tomb Raider HD Collection never included the Original Games or the "Lara Croft and the" series
This seems to indicate it includes
Tomb Raider 1996
Tomb Raider II 1997
Tomb Raider III 1998
Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation 1999
Tomb Raider: Chronicles 2000
Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness 2003
Tomb Raider 2006
Tomb Raider: Anniversary 2007
Tomb Raider: Underworld 2008
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
2010
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris
2014
Day fucking one, I'm curious to what they'll look like though

Square Enix has probably ported more games than any other publisher (Capcom?) to current gen consoles and for some reason can't port the game I really want:

Includes "Temple of Osiris" and "Rise of the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition". Preorder now!

How do you patch these for modern Controller support?
After the botch job they did with Director's Cut? Which luckily a modder fixed some of it but there's still issues with the sound quality drop, etc.

Here's an xbox360 .cfg file to put in the JoyToKey folder that mirrors the PSX controls

Yeah why not, I enjoyed it, especially the director's cut with fixed boss fights. That said,. I felt that with some build - extended cloak, speed and silent running - made it far too easy just to run through the maps without no one detecting you. I think MD was better balanced.

It’s BC on the Xbox.
I can definitely dig the original and 1st reboot games,
Though I think 2+ could use a map of some sort, the original levels were small enough that the gimmicks of the rooms made them easy to keep track of, 2 and beyond I think the levels got too large without enough.to make everything stand out

If anything will sell the xsx it'll be a port of Tomb Raider Chronicles!
Well, the really old Tomb Raiders (all before the xb360/ps3 versions) don't really play that well. The controls are just not suitable any longer. Those were great games but they need a full overhaul. I hope for a remaster of those old games. An Anniversary-edition like overhaul. But I think this will only include all from this ps360 gen up to the current gen. But well.. the current games for the switch ... ... so only last gen games than.

I have the Gold edition with the DLC.

Not today's XBOX event since this will be first party only. But expect something within next month. SE announced they will announce a few games within July-August.

I know the struggle, fortunately flash storage is cheap where I live.I don't even know how this can work on the Switch. Isn't it gonna be huge in size? I'm on my last 20% of my 400GB SD card and I buy everything physical when possible. I'm fearing it's going to be a massive download

Seems like it, sadly. The "leaked" graphic seemed fakey (unless the Lara Croft top-down games were going to be included as well?)
But if anybody from Square Enix/Eidos/Crystal Dynamics is listening, one please...
