Inside Mac Games has posted the latest article in Justin Ancheta's continuing series of guides. The articles offer detailed instructions for running Windows versions of game titles which either never made it to Macs, or have Mac versions incompatible with recent OS releases.

Compared to characters like Mario, Sonic, or Link, Lara's fame arose not because of who she was, but because of what others thought of her, or perhaps, what others projected on to her.
