New page

An '''Operating System''' is the basic program that is executed by a [[PC|computer]] or [[Video Game Console]]. It provides for all user interaction and abstracts the underlying hardware in a way that programs (like the [[Tomb Raider Games]]) can access them in a standardised way.

Operating systems that support Tomb Raider games are for example [[Windows]] and [[MacOS X]] on computers. Older Macs with PowerPC [[CPU]]s use [[MacOS]].

Free operating systems like [[Linux]] need additional software ([[Wine]]) to support Windows programs, but there are compatibility issues. In the future we might see more gaming on Linux with [[Steam]] and their specially made [[Steam Box]]. [[Tomb Raider Legend]], [[Tomb Raider Anniversary|Anniversary]], and [[Tomb Raider Underworld|Underworld]] are already playable as of 2014.<ref>http://www.steamgamesonlinux.com/category/playable-steam-games/?snap=T</ref>

On mobile devices like [[Tablet PC]]s or [[Smartphone]]s only [[Apple iOS]] is supported at the moment.

+Operating systems that support Tomb Raider games are for example [[Windows]] and [[MacOS X]] on computers. Almost all of the [[Tomb Raider Games]] and [[Lara Croft Games]] have been released for these two plateforms. Older Macs with PowerPC [[CPU]]s that were discontinued in the 2000s use the older [[MacOS]].

+On mobile devices like [[Tablet PC]]s or [[Smartphone]]s [[Apple iOS]] has been supported since 2013 ([[Tomb Raider]] and [[Tomb Raider II]]). [[Android]] devices are supported since 2015 (Tomb Raider).
