-The first Tomb Raider game was release for several platforms, one of which was the '''PC'''. To run TR1 you needed at least a Pentium 60 PC running [[DOS]] 5, so says the packaging. But it's more fun on faster PCs with an accelleration card installed (3Dfx [[Voodoo]], Diamond Monster, [[Matrox Mystique]], Rendition, and S3 chips are supported). Today the best way to play the first Tomb Raider is to use [[Glidos]] which emulates the glide api of the Voodoo card.

 [[Tomb Raider VI]] uses a new graphics engine and therefore has much higher demands on hardware. You need at least a 500 MHz CPU and a DirectX  9 compatible card, but it is best to have a 1500 MHz CPU, 512 MB of RAM, and 128 MB graphics card.

-Today the abreviatin "PC" is mostly used as a synonyme for the IBM compatible comouter. The history of that began in the early 1980s. The first IBM PC XT was sold in 1981 for over 1.000 $. Back than it was nothing more than a better typewriter and it was mostly used in business. The application that was one of the reasons for the big success was a spread sheet calculation called VisiCalc.

 The original IBM PC XT was based on a [http://www.intel.com/ Intel] 8086 processor. For a long time Intel was the only manufacturer of processors for the IBM compatible PCs. [http://www.amd.com AMD] was the first competitor to build Intel compatible processors. Then came Cyrix and afterwards VIA.

-The first games on the PC were nothing more than moving blocks in text mode. There was not much one could do with 80x40 text blocks. So adventures mainly consisted of text. After that came CGA (color graphics adaptor) which could display 4 coulors at 320x200 pixels. The first 2D adventures were written for this graphics card. Everything was very blocky but even though a huge success. Still you had to interact with by typing text. After that came EGA and VGA, adding more coulor and higher resolutions, and adventure games started to use the mouse.
