Rumour followed rumour. . .fleeting questions danced around the net as fidgety little fingers poked the keys on their grimy little keyboards. . ."Is there a cheat combination so that Lara takes her clothes off and can run round sort of bouncey-jiggly-like, Indiana Jones style?" There MUST be, they all said. Within hours, images of Ms.Croft had been doctored, merged with pornographic filth (easily accessible to all and sundry on that internet back in those days), making her appear nude in a variety of postures. All of the new headlines in the once virginal, "good-clean-family-fun" Tomb Raider newsgroup were now sent in by sad little pervies asking to see these images and discussing where to find them.

For a while this character assassination of a once well respected computer game star continued, but the worst was yet to come. The wild satiation was not fed by simple depraved images of nude women with Ms.Croft's face attached in the appropriate place. No Sir. . .THEY WANTED TO SEE ALL THIS MOVE IN THE GAME. . .
