Something About Her... (10/7/98)

She's coming! She's coming! One of the biggest stars in the PC entertainment world is finally going to make her debut appearance on the Mac side of the fence. That's right-- Lara Croft, star of the fabulously popular Tomb Raider series, is bringing her particularly Baywatchian brand of adventure and violence to the Mac platform, as Tomb Raider II is prepared for store shelves. The game went "golden master" just a couple of days ago, and is now being duplicated furiously in anticipation of record Mac OS sales.
Tomb Raider II, originally produced by Eidos Interactive and now being brought to the Mac by Aspyr Media and Westlake Interactive, will first appear in the form of a downloadable demo. In a major coup, MacAddict has secured exclusive rights to distribute this demo, which they say will be available from their web site for forty-eight hours starting sometime on Friday. Warm up those modems and prepare to bask in the unique and brilliant star quality of Lara.
As with any big celebrity in this business, there are nefarious parties who try to sully the reputation of Ms. Croft by doctoring photos of her to make it appear as though she's posed nude. According to her PR people, however, she has never posed or performed unclothed, as she's never been offered a role in which nudity was "artistically valid." No, we're not going to point you toward any sites where you can view the fake photos, but if you really want to find them, we're quite certain you'll know where to look. Oh, grow up.

 | | The above scene was taken from the 10/7/98 episode: October 7, 1998: There's a new star ready to burst upon the Mac scene this Friday, and there's just something about her... Meanwhile, the "Redmond Justice" season premiere (the big courtroom showdown) may be delayed still further, and Apple asks for volunteers to lend a hand in the sales trenches...
Other scenes from that episode: 1062: Edging Ever Closer (10/7/98) How many of you out there in TV Land like your news to be boring and unsurprising? Because the "Redmond Justice" trial may be postponed once again, which fact we consider to be about as stunning as if we heard that "some people are having trouble with some new Microsoft software."... 1063: Rallying the Troops (10/7/98) Okay, Apple seems to have gotten their "issues" straightened out with regard to the upcoming Mac OS 8.5 Demo Days, for which they're looking for volunteers. A new site has been set up where interested parties can sign up to don a snappy free Mac OS 8.5 polo shirt and head on down to the local CompUSA to demonstrate Apple's latest and greatest operating system release during its premiere weekend. According to MacCentral, there are even a few paid positions available, so there's a possibility of actual material gain, in addition to the warm, tingly feeling you'll have from the knowledge of a job well done...
