The first recreational video game series is the Tomb Raider, which was developed in 1996 by Core Design and features Lara Croft, who is one of the most unique and
innovative characters in present-day video games in terms of its gameplay mechanics
and its female protagonist. Described as intelligent, physically fit, and determined to
overcome any obstacle, Lara Croft transformed into an icon within a year.

One of the first and definitely one of the most memorable characters in the gaming industry was the exquisite and determined Lara Croft. Her character was a brilliant, pretty, and a sporty lady having no fear to step on the new land which was unfamiliar for ladies and they never dared to enter in this field earlier due to fear and restrictions like no women allowed.

However, the series has established itself through many sequels and reboots that occurred over the years, which only made the game’s gameplay mechanics better and the plot more elaborate. This remains the key to its success for so many years as a popular franchise — its ability to evolve, but remain recognizable.
