You know what would be really cool?

If Tomb Raider 1 could exploit Voodoo 2 and newer 3dfx cards properly. Tomb Raider Gold introduces 2 patches for Voodoo cards:

  1. For Voodoo 1
  2. For Voodoo Rush, but in reality it worked with 2 and newer cards including Rush. However, this patch turns off all shadows.

Also, both patches have problems with memory management. See https://www.philscomputerlab.com/tomb-raider.html

Maybe this could be improved as well?

This amount of issues is why such support would be appreciated.
