Welcome to TRX – an open-source reimplementation of Tomb Raider 1, Tomb Raider 2 and Tomb Raider 3. TRX aims to enhance these classic games through decompilation and the implementation of open-source alternatives to proprietary components. TRX is a single engine capable of running TR1, TR2, and custom levels respecting each of the distinct, classic engines' mechanics.

Are all three games fully playable from beginning to end?
TR1 and TR2 – yes, by all means! If you encounter a bug, please file a ticket.
TR3 is still in the works, though, and the team is hard at work to make this happen!
-
Can we get HD textures? What about other visual updates?
Regarding HD texture packs, that feature is not currently planned.
As for other visual updates, being able to introduce reflections and skyboxes shows that quite literally the sky is the limit. TRX is constantly getting new rendering improvements and texture fixes. But great stuff takes time.
-
Can I play this on Mac, Linux, Android...?
Currently supported platforms include Windows, Linux and macOS.
-
Can I play this with a controller?
TRX supports a wide variety of controllers out of the box with no additional software required. The keyboard or controller controls can be fully customized in the Controls menu with multiple layouts.
-
What about TR3 support?
TR3 work is well underway! Thanks to TOMB3 serving as the backbone for many of its core systems, tons of native systems are already in place – new triangle geometry logic, new rendering effects, and more. Still early, but we're moving fast.
