TRX an open-source reimplementation of Tomb Raider 1 and Tomb Raider 2 keeps expanding

Originally two separate projects, the open source reimplementations of Tomb Raider 1 and Tomb Raider 2 now live under one roof with the TRX project. They're still having distinct individual releases though.

Tomb Raider 1 is fully playable, with Tomb Raider 2 in progress and not ready yet. Tomb Raider 1 is supported across Linux, macOS and Windows but Tomb Raider 2 only for Windows right now.

Since last writing about the project there's been some pretty big updates adding in the likes of:

• The ability to pause during cutscenes.
• A photo mode.
• An option to toggle the in-game UI.
• An option to use PS1 tinted savegame crystals
• Added skybox support, with a default option provided for Lost Valley, Colosseum and Obelisk of Khamoon.
• Tons of bug fixes.
• Various performance and loading time improvements.
• Improved custom level support.
• Updated OpenGL backend to use version 3.3, with fallback to 2.1 if initialization fails.
• Optional automatic key/puzzle inventory item pre-selection.
• Ability to disable saves completely by setting the save slot to 0.
• + much more.

That's just for Tomb Raider 1, there's been a lot of ongoing work to get Tomb Raider 2 properly playable too.

While the Tomb Raider I-III Remastered collection does exist, this project works with the originals and enhances them. You can grab them from GOG or Steam.
