Requirements
Power Macintosh 80mhz or faster (100mhz + recommended)
16MB of RAM (32MB recommended)
4X CD-ROM
System 7.5.3 or later
ATI Rage Pro and 3Dfx based accelerators fully supported (Rage II limited support)
Tomb Raider II requires Apple's Game Sprockets to run (DrawSprocket and InputSprocket). If you do not have the Sprockets installed (or aren't sure), double click the "Sprockets Installer" in the Tomb Raider II Demo folder. Click the Install button and the necessary files will be installed if they aren't already there.
To play Tomb Raider II on ATI Rage accelerators, make sure you have the latest drivers installed. Tomb Raider II works best with drivers version 4.3.4 or later. If you don't have 4.3.4 or later, the "ATIMac33" folder in the Tomb Raider II Demo folder contains an installer which will update your ATI drivers to the latest version. If the installer has trouble detecting your ATI hardware, choose "Custom Install" from the popup menu at the top of the installer window, and then select the first XClaim 3D card to install drivers for. This should install drivers that work correctly for all current ATI Rage cards.

Gameplay Tips
- To walk, hold down the Shift key while pressing Up/Down. Lara will take careful steps, and can't fall off any edge while walking.
- Pressing Jump alone makes Lara jump straight up, pressing a direction key after hitting jump causes Lara to jump in a direction.
- Press Jump while in water to make Lara swim, but watch the air bar in the upper right corner of the screen to see when to surface!
- When you press Action to fire at a target, Lara will track that target as long as the Action button is held down. To lock on another target, release the Action key and point Lara at another target.
- Use the Action key (Control) to grab on to ledges, pull yourself up, or climb walls. Some long jumps can only be made by pressing Action at the end of the jump to grab onto a ledge. Hold down Action and press Up to pull yourself up onto the ledge.
- To open doors that are locked, find the key and then stand in front of the lock and press Action. Select the key from the inventory ring that appears.
- To pick objects up, stand over them and press Action. Check enemies bodies for extra ammo and other supplies.
- You can make Lara push and pull large objects by standing in front of them and holding down Action while pressing Up(push) or Down(pull).
- The Look key (Keypad 0) allows you to look around. Hold down the Look key and use the arrows to move the camera. You can also use the mouse to look, simply hold the mouse button down and move the mouse.
- Press ESC to select other items from your inventory ring (medi-packs, other weapons, etc.). While viewing the inventory ring, press Down to go to the Save/Load game ring.
