finally unwrapped the slightly cursed Lara Croft memory card

it's well-painted but her expression still looks so off… maybe it's the weird skin tone

I wonder if they actually made/sold 200 000 of those, I somehow doubt it. I can also only find two other "character memory cards" online so I don't think the series was super successful

(gCam seems to have corrected the skin tone to look much more natural, it looks really pasty in persona)

and like, they were clearly trying to make this a collector's item, "other Character Memory Cards coming soon"

I wonder if memory cards were just way too expensive back then so people didn't exactly jump on more expensive ones that also looked ridiculous plugged into the PSX…

@noiob Gods I recognize that card because way back in the day, Original Playstation Magazine did an april fools prank where they claimed ASCII was making a dual shock controller built around Lara's bust, and used that card's top half taped to a painted Dual Shock for the image.

Why I remember THIS of all things? I don't know.

@noiob honestly, the look of surprise verging on horror as she's half shoved into a playstation 1 console is what makes it a true piece of art.

@noiob I wouldn't trust her with my saves. I've seen how she treats ancient pottery! :blobcatpeek:
