Needs some tweaking to get going but much easier to run than the first game and a bit better.

Bigger, bolder, and packed with action, Tomb Raider II takes everything from the first game and dials it up. The Venice and Great Wall levels are memorable, and new features like vehicles add excitement. Some levels drag on a bit, but it’s a fan favorite for good reason.

Always going to be a great game - you'll need to patch it though to make it work. I would suggest just buying the remasters at this point though.

I´m glad I finally finished this game, I got to say is longer than I anticipated, and the earlier levels have a greater emphasis on platforming than the later levels.
