June 15 2009 I have made a small update to the Tomb Raider and OS X Classic page regarding a possible problem playing TR3 Gold in OS 10.4.11 (Classic). May 31 2009 Eidos have released a downloadable patch for the PS3 version of TR Underworld to include 'Trophies' in the game. I'm still not sure what trophies are or do but obviously Eidos has determined that they are more important than fixing the numerous bugs which continue to plague the game. Some people on the Eidos forums have suggested that the update has made some parts of the game worse. You might like to read the comments for yourself before deciding whether or not to download. As trophies are unimportant to me I'm opting to pass. April 4 2009 I have been in contact with Feral Interactive who have given me the bad news that no universal Mac port of TR Anniversary will be forthcoming. In their email they said: "getting the game to run on a PPC machine was a lot more complex than first expected." Niether could they impart any news of a Mac port of Underworld . Meanwhile I have been tardy in reporting that the two downloadable levels for TR Underworld on the Xbox are now available through Xbox Live and walkthroughs can be found at Stellas TR Site
March 2009 marks the tenth year of MacRaider's online presence. The occaision brings with it, for me mixed feelings. Firstly, I am happy to be able to continue to make the site and it's content available to everyone and preserve all of Kerrie's hard work. At the same time I am sad that Kerrie could not be here to celebrate the milestone. In other news, Square Enix, the makers of the Final Fantsy games look set to buy troubled Eidos Interactive. Hopefully this means that Tomb Raider will continue for a while yet. February 14 2009 Happy Birthday Lara! The PS2 version of TR Underworld is scheduled for release in Australia on February 19 with the US to follow in March. January 24 2009 The PS2 version of Underworld is now available in the UK while reports of release dates for other countries continues to vary. The Australian release date is still TBA. Eidos have shed 30 employees including Creative Director Eric Lindstrom and have suggested another "rejuvenation" of Tomb Raider in the future, a suggestion which always worries me. January 16 2009 Happy New Year! Eidos have stated that "sales of Tomb Raider Underworld have failed to live up to its expectations." I have a few ideas on why that might be the case. However a local games store told me that it had been selling like hot cakes. This despite absolutely no in store promotions anywhere my home city. Meanwhile I have been able to afford a Playstation 3 console and am now playing through Underworld. So far, loving every minute!
:: Previously on MacRaider :: Kerrie's last entry: 25 June 2008 This news is a little delayed as I've been sick the last 9 days... Eidos have opened the official Tomb Raider Underworld site! There are a couple of new screenshots posted there that I've not seen before, and it looks like the rumour of Lara being able to Scuba dive might be true! I've been waiting for that since the first time I played Tomb Raider so I'm stoked :) Eidos have also posted a downloadable MP3 of the main theme - this is a high quality 256k file, so check it out.

Does anyone have any of Kerrie's TRLE Goodies CDs? I have recently become aware that Kerrie (MacRaider's original Web Mistress) had compiled a series of about 50 CDs containing custom TR levels. These were PC levels converted for Mac and catalogued. If anyone has any of these disks in their possession, in particular disks 13 onwards I would be very interested to hear from you. What is MacRaider? MacRaider is a one-person Mac-user fan site, dedicated to bringing you the best possible information to help ease your way through the Tomb Raider games. On MacRaider you'll find detailed information on every version of Tomb Raider, from the original 'Tomb Raider' of 1996 (released as 'Tomb Raider Gold' on Mac in 1999) to 'Tomb Raider Anniversary, released in 2007. Note that much of the information is equally applicable to the Mac, PC or console games as the gameplay is virtually identical! MacRaider is a very plain site, with none of the bells and whistles that are infesting many other sites. There is a reason for this - my intent has always been to make MacRaider accessible to any Mac user who can play any of the Mac Tomb Raiders. Therefore I chose a 1996 Power Mac 7200/90 with a 33.6k modem as a baseline - anything on this site can be easily accessed on any Mac from then on!
March 1999.
