Tomb Raider I and TR I Gold: Unfinished Business |
|
Tomb Raider Gold Mac version, from Aspyr Media, is the original 1996 Tomb Raider I, plus the bonus 'Gold' levels released later for PC. These bonus levels included 'Shadow of the Cat' and 'Unfinished Business', with two levels each - collectively known as 'Unfinished Business'. The Unfinished Business levels are played as a separate game from the main TR I. Tomb Raider Gold is claimed to have probably the best level design of all the Tomb Raider games. That should translate into a game with the most challenging and interesting gameplay, and its universal appeal bears that out. It was the first game of its type - an 'over the shoulder' view and a female lead character you could identify with. Back in 1999, Lara Croft was reputed to be in the top 50 most influential people in the Information Technology industry, and she doesn't even exist! For some reason, the first Mac release was Tomb Raider II, late in 1998. Tomb Raider Gold was released in March '99, and it may be the most eagerly awaited game for Mac ever. Play the game and you'll find out why! Some of the graphics make it apparent where the changes were made for TR II. The floor and wall textures are of similar complexity, but some plants, and objects like the relics, are sprites, and move with your point of view. Not that this is a problem, but it takes a minute to get used to. Interestingly, the animals, with fewer textures, actually look very good - I think they are better than those in TR II. Lara has less detail, and no ponytail, but otherwise her movements are very similar to those in TR II, with a few omissions (like rolling during a back or forward flip, or in the water). The water is not as realistic, and Lara's swimming is not as controllable, but again, this only takes a few minutes to get used to. The puzzles are similar to those we've come to know from TR II. Areas to explore, doors to open, puzzles to solve, stuff to find. The level design is impressive and the puzzles interesting. Those who played TR II before TR Gold may find it a bit easier to begin with, but the later levels are quite difficult. Lara's home is less detailed than in TR II, and there is less chance to explore. Lara leads you through the training moves, but check the house out before you get into the pool - the training ends when you get out. Back to Top For tips on playing Tomb Raider I in OS X Classic, I've now posted a dedicated page! Back to Top These Walkthroughs and Tips are the result of my extensive experiences and have been carefully checked to give you the most direct routes.They give you enough information to complete each level, with hints or details about every pickup and Secret. Look for the *in these walks - it means there's something nearby. All the pickups I flag are gettable, but some are very hard! Search every corner of every area you enter, but get rid of any threats first. Please note that I don't generally include any pickups the bad guys might be carrying, so always check them out as well (they don't all carry goodies though...) When you extract the download, if the walkthrough won't open in your browser automatically by clicking on it, then open it from within the browser, or Drag&Drop it onto your browser's icon! The TR I download contains the following walkthroughs: Tomb Raider I Tomb Raider Unfinished Business (TR I Gold) - Download the MacRaider Tomb Raider Gold walkthroughs (66k ZIP) Notes - Look for the *in these walkthroughs - it means there's a pickup nearby. I haven't flagged the secrets separately, but if you find all the pickups I've flagged you should get all the secrets! Back to Top This Gameplay Tips download contains information on all versions of TR up to TR Chronicles, most of which is applicable to Mac, PC, and PlayStation! Topics covered include the Weapons, Enemies, Moves, Vehicles, Bugs, and Cheats; as well as some Mac-specific information about watching the FMV's, and a neat way to see the TRC Main Menu Flyby and Special Features without that annoying text! Download the MacRaider Gameplay Tips (30k ZIP) Back to Top Savegames should be dropped into the Save folder in your Tomb Raider folder. Don't forget to remove your own saves first, and keep them in a separate folder. If a ReadMe is included, check it so you know what to do. Note that you can use a maximum of 15 or 16 savegames in the Save folder at one time depending on the game. tr1_midas_fires.zip (4k) This puts you after the series of running jumps across the fire pillars in Palace Midas. tr1_levelsaves.zip (22k) tr1gold_levelsaves.zip (7k) These are sets of savegames of the starts of levels 2-15 in Tomb Raider I, and levels 2-4 in Tomb Raider Unfinished Business. (Both these are from my second full run through Tomb Raider Gold, where I managed to complete all 19 levels with all the pickups, saving only at the start of each level :-) Back to Top The original release of Tomb Raider Gold for Mac included a bad set of FMVs (movies), which were the best that could be used at the time due to Eidos having 'lost' the good set in their archiving or somehow... However, the updated version of TR Gold included with the TR Trilogy was resplendant with a much better set of the FMVs, which are a pleasure to watch! Interestingly there are no documented game bugs in Tomb Raider Gold. If you do find something it's more likely that it's a problem with your particular setup rather than the game itself, so refer to Aspyr's general troubleshooting guide in the Readme. Back to Top |

Incredible .NET IDE with the power of ReSharper! Rider is used across our entire dev team using Windows and macOS.

Director of Engineering, Full Circle TMS
What is Rider?
JetBrains Rider is a cross-platform .NET IDE based on the IntelliJ platform and ReSharper.
Supports many .NET project types
Rider supports .NET Framework, the new cross-platform .NET Core, and Mono based projects. This lets you develop a wide range of applications including .NET desktop applications, services and libraries, Unity games, Xamarin apps, ASP.NET, and ASP.NET Core web applications.
Feature-rich and fast
Rider provides 2200+ live code inspections, hundreds of context actions and refactorings brought by ReSharper, and combines them with the IntelliJ platform's solid IDE features. Despite a heavy feature set, Rider is designed to be fast and responsive.
Cross-platform
As well as running and debugging multiple runtimes, Rider itself runs on multiple platforms: Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Features
Code analysis
Rider boasts 2,200+ live code inspections, with automated quick-fixes to resolve detected issues individually or in bulk. Solution-wide error analysis will monitor code issues and let you know if anything goes wrong, even in files that are not currently open.
Code editing
Rider's rich editor features different kinds of code completion and code templates, auto-inserting matching braces and import directives, quick info tooltips and gutter icons for inheritance navigation, context actions, and much more.
Refactorings
Most of ReSharper's 60+ refactorings are already available in Rider, and its 450+ context actions are all there. Rename, extract methods, interfaces and classes, move and copy types, use alternative syntax, and a lot more!
Unit test runner
Rider helps you run and debug unit tests based on NUnit, xUnit.net, or MSTest. You can explore tests, group them in different ways, break them down into individual sessions, see test output and navigate to source code from stack traces.
Debugger and more tools
Rider includes a debugger that works with .NET Framework, Mono and .NET Core applications, letting you step, watch, evaluate, and run to cursor. Other tools include a stack trace explorer, NuGet browser, and VCS and database support.
Databases and SQL
Work with SQL and databases without leaving Rider. Connect to databases, edit schemas and table data, run queries, and even analyze schemas with UML diagrams.
Navigation and search
Jump to any file, type, or member in your code base instantly, as well as quickly find settings and actions. Find usages of any symbol, or navigate from a symbol to the base and derived symbols, extension methods, or implementations.
Front-end technologies
Rider comes with JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS and Sass support built in. Take advantage of the refactorings, debugging, and unit testing capabilities included from WebStorm.
Extensibility
True to its roots, Rider supports a wide array of plugins developed for ReSharper and IntelliJ Platform. In addition to the bundled plugins (such as those for VCS, F#, and Unity support), plugins that support Markdown, .gitignore files, and Python scripts are available.
Rider for Unity
Rider comes backed up with Unity support.
Using Rider to write C# makes me happy. I have never seen code refactoring tools that actually work - always without exception. It's amazing when you can rely on it.

JetBrains Rider is the first tool I install after repaving my development machine.
I haven’t launched Visual Studio for months after I switched to JetBrains Rider.
Working with branches has never been so smooth since I started using Jetbrains’s Rider.

JetBrains Rider is my C# development tool of choice these days on both OS X and Windows. If you’re a longstanding ReSharper user, you’ll find it to be an almost seamless transition. I highly recommend the developer-friendly keystroke navigation and fine grained debugger support.
Jeremy Miller
In Rider, I just focus on working with my code, as it should be, instead of fighting my IDE. Rider gave me back the joy in writing .NET code.
Frans Bouma,
lead developer, LLBLGen Pro
Switching to JetBrains Rider was a great decision. Our team has never experienced an IDE that can communicate with Unity in such a flawless and efficient manner. We would highly recommend JetBrains Rider to anyone who aims at improving the efficiency and accuracy of their workflows.

An IDE can make or break a developer’s day. When JetBrains introduced Rider (C#) we jumped on board as fast as we could. Having been there at every step of the way in Unity’s evolution of IDE integrations; working with Rider has been nothing but an absolute joy. With the introduction of CLion (C++), we were so excited we created an integration plugin for Unreal. Both of these tools help our team on a daily basis, allowing developers to perform their tasks quickly and efficiently, all the while seamlessly integrating with numerous parts of our pipeline.
