Tomb Raider 2 had its fair share of memorable moments; who could forget zooming through Venice on a speedboat, roaming around in the snow-laden foothills of Tibet or the game's final boss encounter, which saw Lara face off against a ruddy great dragon? Still, for many players, the highlight of Lara's second adventure was spending time at the iconic archaeologist's abode, Croft Manor.
As fans will no doubt recall, while running around the massive house and gardens, you were followed by Lara's loyal butler Winston, who carried around a tray of tea in case she needed a hot beverage at a moment's notice. Looking back, it's hard to imagine Croft Manor without hearing his rattly tea tray or seeing him shuffle slowly towards you wherever you went, but according to lead programmer Gavin Rummery, Lara very nearly didn't have a butler at all.
