The original [[Tomb Raider]] from 1996 - and with it [[Lara Croft]] - now are officially recognized in the World Video Game Hall of Fame.

{{quote|[http://www.museumofplay.org/press/releases/2018/05/4748-2018-world-video-game-hall-of-fame-inductees-revealed museumofplay.org]|Combining the best elements of action-adventure games with platform games and puzzle-solving, Tomb Raider (1996) provided gamers with a unique cinematic 3-D universe, leading-edge graphics, and a female protagonist who remains an iconic figure in gaming. Largely thanks to the character of Lara Croft, and [[Angelina Jolie]]'s theatrical portrayal of her in a blockbuster [[movie]], Tomb Raider enjoys a widespread appeal among gamers and non-gamers alike, and currently heads a franchise that has sold more than 63 million units worldwide. "The [[Guinness World Records]] cites Lara Croft as the 'most recognized female video game character' of all time," says Curator Shannon Symonds. "The character is not without controversy for her early status as a sex symbol, but she’s evolved with the franchise to become the epitome of a strong female hero."}}

In a [[Twitter]] message<ref>https://twitter.com/tombraider/status/992102235583660032</ref> to the fans [[Ron Rosenberg]] and [[Scot Amos]], both co-heads of studio at [[Crystal Dynamics]] thank the World Video Game Hall of Fame at The Strong for recognizing the impact Lara has had over the years.
