== Tomb Raider Games for Windows ==
{{Remark|Compatibility of the original game discs| |with [[Windows]]||on newer versions (like downloadable Steam games)|Steam|}}

=== Using Third Party Software===
The following games will work best with Windows 2000 and by using [[Glidos]], [[DosBox]], or similar techniques:

* [[Tomb Raider]]
: Windows NT and newer systems based on it do not support real mode [[DOS]].
:* On 32-bit machines Tomb Raider can by played in the command shell, although many limitations do apply, like problems with sound and only low resolution graphics without hardware acceleration.
:* On 64-bit versions of Windows it is technically impossible to run 16-bit applications like the original Tomb Raider in the command shell. You will have to use Glidos or DosBox.

=== Using Compatibility Mode and/or (Third Party) Patches ===
The following games will work with Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 by either using the compatibility mode and/or an unofficial third party [[Patch]]:

* [[Tomb Raider II]]
* [[Tomb Raider III]]
* [[Tomb Raider IV The Last Revelation]]
* [[Tomb Raider Chronicles]]
: Tomb Raider II through Chronicles will for the most part run at once or with the "Windows 98/ME" compatibility mode enabled.

* [[Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness]]
: From Vista on Microsoft has removed the Direct3D interface used by [[EAX]]. Owners of a Sound Blaster X-Fi sound card manufactured by Creative can avoid this problem by using the program [[ALchemy]]. You might also try the Multi Patch listed at [http://www.tombraiderchronicles.com/vista/patch.html tombraiderchronicles.com].

=== Out-of-the-Box ===
The following games will work without problems in Windows XP and newer:

* [[Tomb Raider Legend]]
* [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]]
* [[Tomb Raider Underworld]]
* [[Tomb Raider (2013)]]
* [[Rise of the Tomb Raider]]
: Official support only for Windows 7 and newer, because it needs at least DirectX 11. Also, a 64-bit system is mandatory.

=== Lara Croft Games ===
* [[Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light]]
: Windows Vista and newer.

* [[Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris]]
: Windows Vista and newer.
