[Jabberwoxx]

I think the Save Diamond is in the room just for that purpose

[blU3ph0eniX98]

BEST F*****G DEATH IN THE SERIES!!!! scary at first, and still scary at the age of 14.... haha

[T0mbR4id3r]

This was disturbing as fuck to me when i was young.

[majinnemesis]

the first time this happened to me i was like wtf then i realised that was midas hand

[Delpha77]

I just realized how terrible the graphics were back then

[strawberrysmile22]

I prefer this one better than Anniversary...

[Maneru2011]

LMAO the first time I saw this... XD

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahah

[SuperHappyFunTimeLol]

tr1 has the wiredset pull up/ death sounds..

[iamnotamouseok]

looks like sparkly clay not gold

[reece798able]

lol her face makes her look like the trickster off sarsh jane adventures

[leeardamer]

@reece798able WOW that's actualy true... Is Lara the trickster?! O.o

[reece798able]

@leeardamer if she was id kill her to save the world :P

[leeardamer]

@reece798able And you'd kill her by making her go onto Midas' hand! XD

[reece798able]

@leeardamer since shes gold sell her on ebay XD

[leeardamer]

@reece798able And then buy more Tomb Raider games with the money XD!

[reece798able]

@leeardamer remember winston when we was younger? most common thing is 6 year olds playing tomb raider on PS1 will shit themselves when they see winston :P

[leeardamer]

@reece798able XD lol ( i have no idea of who winston is, anniversary was the only tomb raider game i completed) XD

[reece798able]

@leeardamer winstons your butler :P he scared just about everybody on the PS1 with his low resoltion face and wet farts x.x

[mmaconachie]

I always said she was the golden girl of computer games.

[bignose155678]

@mmaconachie austin power's style of joke xD

[LuwiDuwi4]

LOL the souond when she fell!!

[nazpcll]

0:14 ... looks like an ID

[BossPanzer]

I was fucking terrified when I've seen that first time :-(

[DeimosComaBlack]

Looks more like sparkly concrete.

Which is probably more impressive than gold anyway.

[Starfalko]

Guess i have the Midas Touch!

- Engineer Tf2

[NecromorphX]

Ahh, this would eb one of the best games ever.

And certinely the best death scene.

[brocalfur]

The most embarassing was I knew the saga of King Midas and I didn't figure it out until jumping on the hand...ouch

[AkherQursan]

These graphics are really clear. I used to get scared of this when I was a kid. Definitely one of the most unforgettable moments as a young gamer.

It felt weird to relive this little scene just now.

[daxter35]

classic!

[jcb1972]

This always stuck out as one of the most ingenious ways for someone to die in a video game. Well done TR game design team {golf clap}

[halodrtfgf]

Trust the Midas touch

[slydawggie98]

hahahaahahahahahaha 0:09 *clunk* xD

[SonamyAmuto01]

Anybody else loved the bit where she tried to shake the gold off of her feet at 0:03? ahahah XD god i miss the old lara :'(

[nils4545]

@SonamyAmuto01 Yeah, she was so hot :D

[11Stormtrooper]

she's more golden on the psx O_O

[ramjet81]

Ironic, she turned into a relic.

[XxTheUnmissablexX]

She could sell herself on ebay if she could, and buy a new house since the other one got blew up :)

[TheRavenfreak]

I still think jumping off the highest ledge in St. Francis' Folly is funnier, but I love this! When I was younger, i used to say that i'd sell her for money! xDDD

[DreamsofCentaurs]

LMFAO! the graphics on TRA is much better but the animation on TR1 lara to gold is funnier

[berryfurlive]

Have Fun In Midas Hand Ms Croft

[DoughBoy319]

Lara just looks at herself and thinks "Wtf? I'm turning into...", then her head gets covered in gold. XD

[lilash9687]

wow to me the graphics look amazing in this video well done

[Findoku29]

That was totally unexpected the first time.

[SuperNESFreak]

Epic.

[kotatona]

It's dissapointing that only a few know about the greek myth of King Midas..

[TheCosmoMurphy]

@kotatona i no about it YAY ME

[DeweyTheTotodile]

O.=.O;;

[maroTHEBEST]

white choclate lara :D

[Jackiltonn]

This used to seriously scare the shit ouf of me when I was younger! I stopped playing the game for ages after it!

[SevRyan]

In dota there's an item called hands of midas that turns the creeps into gold. I knew They just copied it form tomb raider

[globaltrance86]

@SevRyan dota didn't copy the hands of midas concept from tombraider. the original idea is from an old greek myth. midas the king was greedy and wanted to turn everything he touched to gold, his wish was granted and he regretfully turned his daughter to gold even...something like that.

[SuperNESFreak]

@globaltrance86 I think it was his son.

Anyway, there was also something about a river you could wash in to reverse it.

[flamesdemon19]

@SevRyan actually,they didn't.According to the myth Midas was a greek king that asked the gods to give him the power to turn everything gold.Then accidentally he turned his daughter gold and asked the gods again to help him.Dionysous,one of the Greek gods,told him that his daughter and the rest of the kingdom would become normal if took as much gold as he could carry and wash it at a river called Evrotas or something like that.

[superduperfunz]

this was the reason why midas couldn't handshake with his friends.

[Vahmla]

@superduperfunz Or wank... ;)

[MorganStack]

Absolutely horrifying. So sudden, imagine what could be going through her head on her last second of realization.

[Skencing]

This event was one of the most 'omfg' moments during this level, when I thought I triggered an event to progress further, only to be greeted with a GAME OVER.

[Bendzsi93]

Its like in Aladdin

[zarakhast]

This was one of the best levels in one of the most imaginative games for any format, whether PC or console. Great atmosphere all the way through. The music was beautiful. More of this kind of game is called for.

[DrRibas76]

I did the same stupid thing... Well, we die and learn...

[yusuf08xx]

ich liebe diese hand xD

[piggie96]

trust the midas touch :D

[SonicBoom48]

years ago when i was little i got freaked out XD

[Anevlo]

i remember that!!! i tried all day to play this game... I cant ;/

[supadupafly03]

I remember how surprised I was when I innocently jumped on this f**** hand!!

[Raverque]

Saving the game is handy for stuff like this

[LoboAscuridad]

@Raverque saving is important. I was so far in the game and I was so dumb for jumpimg on his hand! I had to redo a lot of parts lol

[Raverque]

bless auto-saves.

[tadlfm]

handy lol that was a good joke

[popcornspecial]

i was wondering why she was turning to gold then i saw the wall with midas on. lol

[SBMscouser13]

hahahahaa lol the noise she makes is priceless

[elyonmage]

I have the PSX version and her golden version reflects rather than looking solid.

[pirosho]

fuck yes.

[CornishCreamtea07]

I was scared when that first happened to me

[rapkill96]

i wanna have tomb raider 1 :(

[gobildigoop3]

if u live in the uk or ireland then theres a lara croft 4 pack thing with the first 4 tomb raiders for 24.99 euros

[JSwanKilowJ]

They should have this death with the advanced animation, instead of her just turning to gold all quickly.

[UltimateDBZFan2000]

I always wanted a Lara Croft statue :D

[swagteamcdk]

Are you in good hands?

[NiamhGoth]

when i was a kid and my dad was playing this game for the first time he showed my little brother the hand of midas, and he couldn't see it, so he jumped onto the hand and turned into gold and he to restart all over again XD

[numantoo]

Exploration gear = 250

Trip to Greece =300

Becoming gold while jumping onto the palm of King Midas= priceless!

[CornishCreamtea07]

There are somethings money can't buy. For everything else there's ancient greek rulers

[geraldgoh7845]

Isnt this I was like 6 my father caught in this trap ?! o.o!

[Wocfan]

it's a pity that the other hand of midas is not there

I wonder how Lara would turn into wood

[OceanBabe70]

Lets sell her on ebay xD

[acuidad]

And they tell you to trust the Midas touch! XD XD XD

[Ivy6894]

omg lol

"Trust the Midas touch"

Lara: "HELL NO!!!!"

[acuidad]

lol XD

[halo3masterakazac]

she must be strong if she could lift her leg while it was gold!

[babe998]

when i was 6 and i had this game. I used to be afraid to play the story not because i was afraid of the enemies. its just that i was afraid of lossing.

[EllenDunnx3]

My friend first showed me this when I was younger and she was like so excited about showing me it and I didn't really understand Midas back then and as Lara turned to gold I started freaking out lol. This game used to scared me so much.. o_o

[lilboi805]

yup this deadth is best in the tomb raider series..its kinda better than the 1 in anniversary even tho it has better graphics...but in anniversary she stands still but in this 1 she actually falls haha more of wut clumsy lara wuld do hahaha

[bajeczki]

0:08 -Oh!!

She sounds like a baby

[Tacklevines]

Best death in all of Tomb Raider?

No, no, good sir. Best death in all of gaming.

[SandNinja2011]

XD First time I did this: Pure Stupidity...Every other time: It was just plain fun ^^

[jetex1911]

'tis the midas touch!

[artsyalchemistthe2nd]

Out of all of the deaths in all of the Tomb Raider games, this is hands down my absolute favorite one. :)

[paulinchen2503]

Hm ^^

I am really amazed now.

I think i am going to play TR1 on PSX now :D

*handshake*^_^

[N1nt3nd0Smash3r]

Back in the good old days.

Wow :O My dad did this so many times.

[Rocksabileelapapdi]

why does this mids death look different to the one on my playstation? =3

[LaraCroftDiary]

hehe magic lara

[ultimateguitar553]

Lara truly "rocks" now

[csskid]

its pretty cool how they took that from old greek mythology.

the man who wished everything he touched would turn to gold. . . killed his daughter by accident then died after trying to drink water

[clashcityrocker2007]

your wrong. King Midas didnt die after trying to drink water.

He begged Dionysus to change everything back. Dionysus took pity on him and did so.

[xCruelxMistressx]

haha, i remember the old flat face lara

[geebergoober929]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[TheScreamingWinston]

She dies and takes out her passport...

Sell her on Ebay!!! I would bid for her quite happily. XD

[CroftsPoison]

the Grafik is beautiful! what a Computer do you have?(sorry for my bad english I am german)

[shrensh]

I'm using Windows XP , and I used DGVoodoo and VDMSound to run the game.

[nlty2000]

Voodoo? You mean the graphics card? o.O

[shrensh]

It's a glide emulator program that allows the game to work with modern graphics cards.

[Kan98426]

King Midas?

A Greed King Who Wanted If He Touch Something,That Thing Becomes A Golden?

[Niborius]

yes but then in better english

[babe998]

and even turned his daughter to gold :*(

[Ixionox]

@CroftsPoison

^^ wenn du ne PS3 hast und das alte game kannst du das ganze glätten da sehen die spiele viel besser aus :P

[ynotdrol2]

The graphics suck.

[Imagination8Madness]

@ynotdrol2 Well yeah, because this game was made like 15 years ago.

[CJAC5]

@ynotdrol2

At the time this Tomb Raider came out, the graphics was good to my eyes. Now it's old. Still a good game though.

[bunniesrule87]

does it just restart

[ioratiskrishserhetai]

fagot

[thebestusernameeva]

Trust the Midas Touch!

[youwatts]

This comes from the greek mythology The Midas king everything he touch turns to gold.

The statue said Midas, so i guess that where the hand come in, and lara turning into gold when she touches it.

[aure232]

Lol, golden statue of lara

[JammerRammy]

Now, let's sell her on EBay!

[Smeniac]

i would buy her:P

[gamerguy425]

in the beta version the gold is actualy reflective and looks better.

if you tried to keep her statue you would try sleepless nights to make it stand but it would just keep falling. XD

[IrreverantReverend]

Lol I remember the first time I played this, I had the 3 lead bars, I'd seen what the hand did but I didn't put 2 and 2 together...had to ask a guy in HMV :p

[SophineisAwesome]

They rocked for back in the day.

[aure232]

Actually it was very good graphics and revolutionary idea

[spongebob1227]

good graphics lol

beta gold death than anniversary though fair play

[xxxmadinaxxx]

I've always lost in this level I am net forward

[janosiadam]

Midas Hand uses Touch.

Critical Hit!

It's super effective!

Lara Croft fainted.

[MissLouise94]

this one is much better than anniversary :)

[klkrishnek]

I agree. :D

[simonhojovii]

she actually tries to struggle in this one. thats why liked it

[ioannisdenton]

Midas wins!

fatality!

[SophineisAwesome]

Very funny. Better than Anniversary

[volgurl11]

I like the way TRA made her look like gold

[Lennekene]

compare it to anniversary midas death. cool :)

[bobbyxan111]

lol dosent look gold looks like a cream colour :D

[SailorStarVenus]

yeh i dont know whats up with this version, on my ps1 TR1 its actually gold looking lol

[DarkGriffon898]

PPPWNED  lol

:'( Poor Lara...

[Welderx626]

wtf?!?!

[EATM0VIES]

was so weird the first time XD and then it became fun ^^

[bebefofa]

ahahahahah xD

I already killed her that way lol

pretty funny xP

[JTR527]

that would be the worst death ever in real life....feeling your body turn to gold slowly

[FirstLittleSomething]

Damn i was surprised back then XD...

[WASPTexas]

I envy you, since I almost knew this would happen before. How? I had heard the ancient greek story of King Midas, who got his wish from the gods that everything he touched should turn into gold. It was a good idea until the fool realized he couldn't eat food out of gold...

[SonosukeYawara]

Ah, thats right! I did hear the story after playing the first time TR, so i needet some time to finish that level. (sfmbe)

[mariostar55]

i dont like it so..

much...

what will you do,if you get in this trap?(i mean in real)

[creaothceann]

reload

[batotesic]

what a lovely graphic

[XxbitchxgirlxX]

thts wunt i want if i wunt to die

[verhadCOOL]

i have that game on my ps1/ps2! lol!

[xxXbdogXxx]

Whoa, she became a statue!

[corbinat23]

hey its just like that alladin movie

[NessLover94]

That was a bad idea!

[Wowbagger86]

But did she really touch it when she's wearing boots?? ;)

[Wowbagger86]

lol, I remember I did that over and over playing TR1 as a kid.. It was strangely enertaining ;)

[losatron]

dude I have to agree with you. That and letting her fall from the top of the indoor tower at St. Francis' Folly. me and my cousin use to trip out heqaring her scream and then suddenly hearing her bones break! Very entertaining!

[Wowbagger86]

lol, I used to do that to! We must have been some really disturbed kids ;)

[maniakatosheto]

don't remind me of St.Francis's folly pls :) I really hated that zone when i was a kid . it seemed endless

[losatron]

Yea it did seem endless but I recently replayed the game a few months back and now I can run through that board in about 45 minutes. I'd have to say that Palace Midas and the Colloseam were my most favorite and the great pyramid was my least.

[tommk88]

That was the best level!!

[Wowbagger86]

The Sistern was worse by far :P I almost stewed my brain while palying that level...

[maniakatosheto]

On last we have to agree . Tomb Raider is the greatest game of all for both strategy,action,logic and adventure :)

[Wowbagger86]

You said it! :)
