WARNING: READ BEFORE USING YOUR PLAYSTATION

GAME CONSOLE.

A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures when exposed to certain light
patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain patterns or backgrounds on a television screen or while
playing video games, including games played on the PlayStation game console, may induce an epileptic
seizure in these individuals. Certain conditions may induce previously undetected epileptic symptoms
even in persons who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If you, or anyone in your family, has
an epileptic condition, consult your physician prior to playing. If you experience any of the following
symptoms while playing a video game – dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of aware­ness, disorientation, any involuntary movement, or convulsions – IMMEDIATELY discontinue use and
consult your physician before resuming play.

WARNING TO OWNERS OF PROJECTION TELEVISIONS:

Do not connect your PlayStation game console to a projection TV without first consulting the user manual
for your projection TV, unless it is of the LCD type. Otherwise, it may permanently damage your TV screen.

USE OF UNOFFICIAL PRODUCT:

The use of unofficial products and peripherals may damage your PlayStation game console and invalidate
your console warranty.

A TR AGIC LOSS ...

It is a cold, dark, rainy day. With the memorial
service for Lara Croft over, her old friends retire
to the Croft Mansion.

As they sadly collect their thoughts, they reminisce
about Lara’s past adventures ...

Meanwhile ...
Hundreds of miles away, Werner Von Croy

co-ordinates the frantic dig – searching for answers
buried deep beneath the Egyptian desert ...
