What is OpenTomb?

OpenTomb is an open source project that implements the engine to be able to play all the classic levels of the Tomb Raider game and also allows you to play custom levels made with Tomb Raider Level Editor. Although there are other open source engines, OpenTomb has managed to re-implement engines that have become somewhat stagnant and have not been updated with the latest technologies.

This Tomb Raider engine has been developed from scratch, including routines and codes from other famous engines. An attempt has been made to perfectly recreate the storyline and experience provided by the original game, but in addition, improvements and changes have been included in the characteristics to adapt it to current technological parameters, allowing better use of hardware resources and software. tomb raider

      On the contrary, we are one of the few opensource sites that we tell users that we store cookies, the others even though they do not even tell you ... It is something simple, all sites store information in cache and also cookies for the statistics of their sites, few are responsible and indicate them to their readers ... But come on, we do absolutely nothing with your data.

    Congratulations dear Lizard for dedicating articles to the theme Games. Your posts invite to play, even a veteran like me who lives 65 years. Seriously, they make me want to download OpenLara and install it.

    OpenTomb looks like a game from 20 years ago ...
