Tomb Raider II

Tomb Raider debuted on the Sega Saturn in October 1996 and catapulted Lara Croft into stardom. The much-anticipated sequel was originally planned for the Saturn, but a deal with Sony ultimately prevented the series from ever returning to the console. Now, nearly 30 years later, Lara is coming back home, ready to show off all her new moves in a revamped new engine.

This fan project aims to replicate Tomb Raider 2 on the Sega Saturn, or at least to an extent. Its method of approach first takes original Tomb Raider 2 assets that are then modified and converted to the Saturn format, all with custom-written tools. Secondly, it uses the original Tomb Raider 1 Saturn engine as a base and injects new code to implement relevant Tomb Raider 2 functionality, effectively forming a hybrid engine.
