An Operating System is the basic program that is executed by a computer or Video Game Console. It provides for all user interaction and abstracts the underlying hardware in a way that programs (like the Tomb Raider Games) can access them in a standardised way.

Operating systems that support Tomb Raider games are for example Windows and MacOS X on computers. Older Macs with PowerPC CPUs use MacOS.

Free operating systems like Linux need additional software (Wine) to support Windows programs, but there are compatibility issues. In the future we might see more gaming on Linux with Steam and their specially made Steam Box. Tomb Raider Legend, Anniversary, and Underworld are already playable as of 2014.[1]

On mobile devices like Tablet PCs or Smartphones only Apple iOS is supported at the moment.
