Tomb Raider

The Tomb Raider series of games were rather different in U-986, with Core Design still making the games today and the controls having evolved better. NSG unlike OTL do not buy the rights to the games, leading to it to still be on Sega Consoles. Anyways, here is some of the games.

Tomb Raider, 1996: Lara Croft, a Sarcastic Adventurer and Archaeologist is approached by an employer called Jacqueline Chrysalis, who tells her that an artefact known as the Changeling Scion has to be found across three countries, one in Peru, one in an ancient monastery in France and one in Egypt. Lara goes to these locations unknowing that Larson and Pierre want to get the artefacts off her. Eventually, after Egypt, Lara Croft discovers that Chrysalis is the Queen of the Changelings, and her artefacts and weapons are stolen by Chrysalis and her Goons. Eventually, we approach the ancient city of Atlantis, and we see a disturbing green organism that spawns insectoid creatures that can shapeshift known as Changelings, Lara Croft even encounters one who morphs into herself. Eventually Lara finds even more about the truth of Chrysalis, she was set in stone for 1000 years by an ancient race. Eventually, this turns into a massive boss battle between Lara Croft and Chrysalis, who wants to grow a massive army to conquer the world and destroy everything. Eventually she kills Chrysalis and heads off for her next adventure. This plot caused the My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic writers in 2012 to scrap the "Canterlot Wedding" Episodes as the plot was too similar to the original Tomb Raider.

Tomb Raider 2, 1997: The plot was very similar to The Last Revelation combined with The Dagger Of Xian, Lara Croft manages to get the Dagger Of Xian, but inadvertently starts a war between a race of thousands of Dragon Beings, and Humanity, she needs to get the Dagger of Xian back but Marco Bartoli has stolen it from her. We eventually go to Venice and see Dragons attacking a carnival. The game's control scheme is improved as well, with Lara Croft able to move in 360 degrees without Tank Controls similar to Mario in Super Mario 3D. The game's engine was reworked so dozens of dragons could appear on-screen at any one time. The ending was Lara Croft killing Marco Bartoli after he kills the Dragon King and becomes the Dragon King himself. Then Home Sweet Home was still the epilogue where Lara kills the remaining Maria Doria Members. Overall a good game, and in this universe also the inspiration for Skyrim.

Tomb Raider 3, 1998: Lara Croft goes across the world to get Meteorite Artefacts for a Molecular Biologist called Dr Willard, who in this timeline is instead the head of RX Tech rather than an employee. The later half of the game in Antarctica is rather disturbing, where Willard breeds Mutants to turn into a Soylent Green style Food Supply and employs people to be Sweat Shop employees. Willard's Mutant Form is much more than a Spider in this version as well. Lara Croft Destroys the Factory and kills Willard and also destroys the Artefacts.

The Series sold 12, 14 and 16 Million Copies in it's first three years, much more successful than the franchise in OTL. Using massive advertising campaigns. The voice of Lara Croft though is not Shelley Blond or Judith Gibbins for the first three games in this timeline, it's Stacey Gregg, Rupert Farley plays Willard in Tomb Raider 3 instead of Simon Greenall.
