Was Tomb Raider 1 the first 3D first person action platformer of its kind, or just the first one to gain mainstream popularity? What other games like it preceded it?

Tomb Raider isn't first-person. Did you mean third-person?

I think it might be. Mario 64 was released in Japan a few months earlier. But if you consider Mario 64 a 3D mascot platformer, and Tomb Raider a 3D action platformer. I guess it would be.

Not the first but definitely influential. Games like Fade to Black preceded it.

>>7907383
If you're talking about 3D platformers in general, Bug! and Floating Runner came before Mario 64 you know.

Fade to black was my first ps1 game, it played like complete shit though. Easy to forget about it, even though it should have been mind blowing at the time, it was just tedious.

Though, not really a 3D platformer. But kinda 3D.

It was released in 1989 for the Atari Lynx handheld. They system had really impressive scaling and rotational effects.

They should've given it RGB output so people could play it like nintendo switch.
