Every time I think about TR being ✨ prestigious ✨ I always picture the magazine cover, the one with Duke Nukem copping a feel.

There’s an Easter Egg in one of the PS1/N64 Duke Nukem games where what is intended to be a horny Lara Croft calls Duke Nukem to ask him to come and bone her. In another Easter Egg Duke finds Lara’s discarded tank top at a strip club and says only a huge skank would wear something like that

The 90s were very classy

I forgot the funniest part being that those third-person PS1 Duke Nukem games are huge Tomb Raider ripoffs, shamelessly copying the control scheme and gameplay
