We've been hearing about this for a while now, but the day has finally come: Tomb Raider has been released for the Pocket PC.
"First released with the original Tomb Raider in 1996 on PlayStation and PC, the Tomb Raider series (there are now 5 games) has gone on to sell more than 26 million copies worldwide in the consumer games market. With the release of Tomb Raider on PDA, mobile users now will be able to play the entire first game of Tomb Raider, providing one of the richest and most immersive gaming experiences available on any mobile computing platform."
• 15 massive levels encompassing four continents
• Gameplay faithful to the original PlayStation and PC versions of the game.
• A combination of puzzle, platform and adventure elements.
But here's some bad news: "Tomb Raider is only compatible with the Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC models listed below. Please check you have a suitable device before purchase. Other ARM-based devices such as the HP Jornada or Toshiba Genio are not compatible."
How did they manage to make an ARM-based game iPAQ-only and alienate the rest of the Pocket PC community? Use the affiliate link above to download the demo or buy the game.
