Tomb Raider Xtra

Tomb Raider Xtra (hereafter known as TRX) is a project to make the original Tomb Raider game look better by replacing the graphics with higher resolution versions:

Using a Windows program called Glidos, it's now possible to get Tomb Raider running using the capabilities of modern graphics cards. With Glidos, you can play Tomb Raider at high resolutions – up to 1600x1200 – with replacement textures of your choice!

This project collects together the efforts of a number of artists, each with their own style and approach. You can download textures that simply look like improvements to the originals, or download packs that give a whole new look and feel to the game.
