Tomb Raider "Curse Of The Sword" (GBC)
Long ago there dwelled a strong and evil magic in the Deep South. Madame Paveau, the source of this dark power, had control
over many followers, leading rituals of human sacrifice. Only when a band of rebels stormed her mansion was the magician finally
overthrown. Her charred body was thrown from a cliff and shattered, but one of her surviving followers performed an ancient
rite which captured the soul of Madame Paveau in a sacred container. By using the darkest of rituals, the remnants of the
original cult has sought ancient artifacts, which, when collected, will give the sorceress power over a new body. Unaware
of this dark past, Lara Croft witnesses the theft of a powerful sword while visiting a museum of antiquities. In the attempt
to recover the sword, Lara is cut by the blade. With her blood upon the sword, Lara unknowingly has become the body destined
to receive the soul of Madame Paveau. As she seeks to recover the sword and prevent the dark priest from stealing other ritual
objects, she is also on a quest to save her very soul. In this side-scrolling action title, Lara must cross numerous
obstacles on large, maze-like levels, acquiring her trademark pistols, new items and information. Only by solving the puzzles
that have been set before her will she have a chance to recover the stolen ritual items and ultimately save herself.
