    Wait!  I got it to work last night!!!  ;^)

    
    The grenade trick does work,    you just have to hold down the L1 & L2
    buttons at the same time as pressing the cheat buttons.
    
    Never fails to work ......try it!
    
    Glad to help
    
    Tone     8*)))
    

    Oh sure, now you tell us!  After I delete the note!
    
    What was it again?
    
    L1 L1 L1 L1 L2 L2  circle, square, square, triangle, triangle
    
    Was that it?
    
    If so, how do you actually perform the cheat?  Press L1 four times and
    hold it down on the fourth time, then press L2 twice while holding L1
    down, and hold both down then, while pressing the circle, square &
    triangle?

Help, Im stuck!!

Im at the end of the Natlas Mine level. I killed the kid on 
the skateboard, made it past the rolling boulders and entered
a room with some ledges to climb. I climbed up and entered
another room with a bunch of blocks to push and pull.
Well I have pushed and pulled these blocks a ton of different
ways and cant seem to get any further. I know there is another
room inside with a switch but cant get to it. Am I missing something
here?
Thanks for any info...

Andy

    Andy,
    
    	If memory serves,	the first room with the blocks. You've
    pushed the block (obvious thing to do) when you should've pulled.
    That block is now stopping you from pushing the block in the room next
    to the one you're in, to reveal another door.
    Hope you've got the gist of that.
    
    Oh, and don't forget to say CHEESE, when you finally get in through
    that door?
    
    John.

    Thanks for the info but I still cant get this to work. Its really
    pi**ing me off!!! I even started the whole level over to see if I
    missed anything. But now im back and still cant figure it out.
    I followed the cheat and still nothing:

>on the low pillar and jump to the higher one then jump to the ledge.  Do
>another jump to the left then another jump to the left then climb into

>push the block twice and drop down into the lower room.  Pull the block
>then go back up and drop down on the other side of the block.  Push it

>and make a mad dash for the door which closes before you get there!

    1st)
>the room on the right.  Push the block twice and enter the next room then
>push the block twice and drop down into the lower room.  Pull the block
    
        I entered this room, pushed the block twice and thats it.
    I cant push it anymore. There is a way to get to the next room but
    I need to climb up, not drop down.
    
    At the first room I tried to pull the block but then I was not
    able to get to the next room as the block blocked the entrance.
    
    Im beginning to think my game is defective. Its probably something
    simple that im missing but I cant seem to find anything!!
    

    OK,
    
    I think this is it.
    In the first room, push the block as far as it goes. You will have
    pushed it up against the block in the third (adjacent) room. When you
    go up into the 2nd room and down into the third room, pull the block in
    there. Go back to the first room and push the block, (which you thought
    couldn't go any further) one more time, to reveal the hidden door.
    
    Hope this is a better explanation.
    I know how easy it is to think someone will understand when it's
    obvious to the person explaining it.
    
    John.

    Re .59
    
    I'm convinced this is a hoax. :-)  I just can't get it to work.
    
    Sigh,

re: .64

Yeah, I know.  The "hoaxer" admitted to it in note 19.20.  :')

Forget about that cheat code I guess.  And I will not be fooled again into
believing someone has gotten it to work!  :')

Whew, John, thanks a bunch!! that was it!! This explanation
made it so much easier, almost to the point where I cant believe
I was pulling my hair out over this!!! Ah well, Off to Atlantis!!!
Thanks Again,

Andy   

    Finished the game this weekend!!!
    Great ending!!!
    Now I can try some other games for a change!!

    I have a question......I just finished the Tomb of Tihocan level
    where the statue comes to life and attacks you....Is the uzi
    somewhere in this level???  Someone told me it was here and I am
    trying not to refer to the walkthrough as I plod my way through
    this huge game.
    
    Anyone?
    
    Thanks

        >>I have a question......I just finished the Tomb of Tihocan level
        >>where the statue comes to life and attacks you....Is the uzi
        >>somewhere in this level??? 
    
    I have just gone through this level and I did not find the Uzi (and I
    had a peek at the walkthrough after I finished the level to see what I
    missed). If it is here and I've missed my chance to pick it up I will be
    a little p*ss*d off 'cos I will have to go back a level and start over
    again!!!
    
    
    
    
    I am playing this game while a friend plays my copy of Discworld. To say I
    am suffering from sleep deprevation would be a huge understatement. I
    just can't turn the PS off as long as Lara is still alive!

    I know everyone loves TR, but does anyone think it's a bit easy?
    I mean, I'm no great gamesplayer but I've almost finished it.  The
    hardest part for me is not solving the puzzles, it's being able to
    _see_ where to go.
    Also, for those of you who've finished it, how often have you gone back
    to earlier levels?  Is there any re-play value after completion?
    
    I don't want to give the impression I'm disappointed or anything, I've
    got full value out of this game and I'm determined to finish it this
    weekend (maybe tonight 8).
    
    Long Live Lara!

    I take your point about it being hard to see things, the number of
    times I've checked to see that I got everything only to find out that
    that vaguely off colour bit, half way up the mountain, behind the
    waterfall, obscured by vines, contained a secret is a little bit
    annoying. 
    
    Also, do you find that some items are easy to miss. I stood next to the
    shotgun without noticing it, finished the T-Rex off with my pistols,
    completed the level, only to have a mate inform me of what I had
    overlooked. How p*ss*d off was I at having to do the whole level again?
    
    
    It's not as bad as some games though (i.e Sam + Max, Discworld, Indiana
    Jones etc) where you have to think things out in a completely illogical
    way that ruins any flow to the game. 

I agree that T. Raiders puzzles are easy. Much easier than say
Resident Evils. Trying to figure out the formula to kill the plant.
The combo to open the door with the chemicals inside. The order
in which to hit the switches in the crow room. With Tomb Raider there
really wasn't any puzzles. Any keys found had easy places to go.
Maybe the hardest was turning the lead to gold. But ya, I thought
finding where to go in T. Raider more difficult. Hidden rooms, rooms
with levers, find objects/secrets. Some of the obstacles were also difficult.
Especially the ones that had doors opened with timers etc.

As far as replay, now that I have finished the game I haven't gone back
to it yet. But I will, mostly to try to complete each level finding
all the secrets (since I didn't do this the first time). And for me,
since I used the weapons code I was fully armed. So I would try this
without the weapons. But after that...I think that would be it.
With RE I think it has a bit better replay since there is two characters,
each one being a different difficulty, and different possible endings.
Of course once the game has been completed with both Characters and all
possible endings...that would be it for me. But this could take a while.

    Well I did finish TR last weekend - what a brilliant game, even if the
    ending is a little flat.  I think I'll give it a rest before going back
    - maybe I'll try to finish it with one life next 8-}.
    
    Ian
    PS And that was without the full weapon cheat, too

    I'm in the Coloseum, at the point where you need to flick the switch,
    step on the plate to open the gate and then leg it into the other room 
    before the gate shuts (does that make sense). The problem is I cannot
    get around the corner fast enough! Is this the only route available? 
    
    
    
    				Stretch.

    It's the only route I found worked.  As far as I remember there are
    only 2 'puzzles' where you have to get your timing spot on and this is
    one of them.
    
    And yes, it is bl**dy frustrating!

    I'm so sick of playing this game right now.  It seems like I've
    been playing it forever.  I have Powerslave now and I want to start
    in on that seriously but I can't until I finish this one.  If
    I *really* start playing Powerslave now I'll never get around to
    finishing TombRaider.  I'm on the last level and I'm stuck at
    a part that is right after the 2nd (?) save game gem. 
    
    I walk up to this collapsible bridge and when I start running across
    it a boulder starts rolling at me.  I think I have to jump right
    and into a door where there is a swinging blade but I can't do it.
    I keep dieing and it's wicked f'ing frustrating...
    
    I checked the walkthrough but it's not much help. Any suggestions,
    I need to finish this game?
