Tomb Raider Knock Off Games

Tomb Raider's popularity has lead to numerous bootlegs, unofficial and unlicensed games over the years, some of which blatantly rip off the title or artwork from Tomb Raider and simply use it for unrelated games.

These should not be confused with parodies and homages that have appeared in other media, as they did not rely on the association with Tomb Raider for recognition. Those can be found here.

Since the game didn't have much story, nothing else was changed.
