This is the update patch to the RETAIL version of Tomb Raider. This patch
will accelerate Tomb Raider on the Matrox Mystique cards. We didn’t think that
it was possible, but we now have a Tomb Raider patch for a 2MB Mystique card!!
This is the first 2MB Hardware Accelerated port of the Tomb Raider game! Note
that the Tomb Raider patch works in a double buffered, hardware Z-buffer,
16bpp color mode. Hence, in order to allow such a game with all its amazing
worlds and textures to work on a 2MB Mystique card, the game runs in a 512×384
resolution. Owners of a 4MB Mystique card (or 2MB base plus 2MB expansion),
will have an advantage of running at a resolution of 640×480. Owners of a 4MB
Mystique card who wish to see the game in a 512×384 resolution can set an
environment variable; ‘set mtx_lowres=1’ before running the game. Doing a
‘set mtx_lowres=0’ or ‘set mtx_lowres=” will make the game work in 640×480
again.

Another thing that really makes Tomb Raider – Matrox Mystique Accelerated Version 1.00 enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Tomb Raider – Matrox Mystique Accelerated Version 1.00. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
