Game over? never: Long-forgotten games from the past are making a comeback for a generation of millennials under lockdown. Ben Heubl is one of them

WHEN I WAS NINE, I sneaked out of the house without my parents' knowledge and bought a game a nine-year-old shouldn't buy: the infamous first game of the ‘Tomb Raider’ series, featuring Lara Croft in her opening adventure. I wanted to play it like all the other boys at my school. I carried it home and hid it under my blanket. My mother found it and confronted me. With two fingers she held the game like a dirty washing cloth. The cover of the packaging showed the busty Lara Croft, skilfully handling her smoking Browning Hi-Power handgun. My parents' verdict: banned from playing until further notice.
