My first console that played games in 3D was a PS1 and it game with a CD full of demos. One demo was Tomb Raider II and I fell in love. I sucked at the game, but loved Laura Croft, despite her treatment of endangered species.
The Classic Games Collection (CGC) videos look back at the time when gaming became great- the late 80s through mid-90s. Before that, games had been rudimentary and only appealing to a niche audience. By the late 80s however, games became more and more awesome.
