Variants

God help us all…

The first variant is one of the more peculiar ones – the letter A has been added to the Disc, and only the disc’s SLUS (SLUS-00437A). Redump.org reports that the code on the disc is the same as the others, so the A is more than likely a typo. It matches the above release with the guide book inner art.

SLUS-A Variant Disc

The second variant updates the inside insert to have Eidos’ own Hint Line rather than the strategy guidebook. Note the Black Label back inserts all have an unfinished Memory Card Icon, as it forgets the ‘1 Block’ label. They fixed this on the Greatest Hits.

Greatest Hits Release

The first Greatest Hits Variant calls out the disc’s two included demos. The manual has an ad for “Fear Factor” which would be renamed to Fear Effect. The ESRB back insert has changed.

Greatest Hits Two Demo Burst

The second Greatest Hits release now has a three-demo burst on the front, and the manual ad features all three games: Gex 3, Soul Reaver, and Tomb Raider III. Note that the back insider goes back to the original ESRB box style.

The SLUS is now changed to SLUS-00437GH to match Sony’s new cataloging style. The ESRB box on the back flips again, and the manual now advertises Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness for PS2.

The easiest of the variants to find, as it was part of the Tomb Raider: Collector’s Edition 3-Pack.
