I have noticed that some classic games have icons that do not represent the actual games. The games affected are:
Tomb Raider 1 - it uses a Lara render that was distributed during Tomb Raider 2 promo campaign. It shows TR2 Lara model and is associated with TR2, not TR1. Because of that the icon is misleading.
Tomb Raider 4: The Last Revelation - this one uses a render that was distributed during Tomb Raider 3 promo caompaign. It shows TR3 Lara in London, which is one of the main locations in TR3. This is incredibly misleading, especially considering TR4 doesn't have a number in the title.
Tomb Raider 5: Chronicles - this one uses a render distributed during Tomb Raider 4 promo. It shows Lara in Egypt, which is the main location of TR4. Because of that the icon is extremely misleading.
I would suggest changing pictures of those games with one of the following alternatives:
TR1:

https://core-design.com/images/goodies/tombraider/promotionalrenderstr1/screen32.jpg (this one would work well with TR2 and 3 style icons)
https://core-design.com/images/goodies/tombraider/promotionalrenderstr1/screen13.jpg (same as above)
https://core-design.com/images/goodies/tombraider/promotionalrenderstr1/screen38.jpg (this is the original TR1 cover)
TR4:

https://core-design.com/images/goodies/tombraider/promotionalrenderstr4/screen137.jpg (would work well with TR2-3 style icons)
https://core-design.com/images/goodies/tombraider/promotionalrenderstr4/screen103.jpg (same as above)
TR5:

https://core-design.com/images/goodies/tombraider/promotionalrenderstr5/screen11.jpg (original US TR5 cover)
https://core-design.com/images/goodies/tombraider/promotionalrenderstr5/screen34.jpg (would work okay with TR2-3 style icons)
Those are all official renders released by Core Design back in the day. They are not available on a fan site on the company's old website: core-design.com
