Tomb Raider
You're Indiana Jones on a quest for something sacred, only not.
The hero: Beautiful, buff, British babe named Lara, the smart and savvy swashbucklerette.
The Arena: tonnes of troublesome, tricky and tortuous Temples of Doom (generic ones, that is).
This adventure goes on forever and just as the exploration of caves and crags gets cliché, out pops a loco lupine or diabolic demon for you to gun down. Insidious traps and cleverly hidden treats. Memory card's a must. Saving your progress makes Lara's horribly violent death easier to forget- or repeat, if you're into that sort of thing.
The best adventure game of its time.
