寻宝猎人：古墓丽影2
Treasure Hunters: Tomb Raider II
欢迎来到25周年庆祝活动博客的新专栏——寻宝猎人！我是罗德里戈·马丁·桑托斯（Rodrigo Martin Santos），古墓丽影收藏大全网的网站管理员，在接下来的几个月里，我们将分析研究许多不同的《古墓丽影》系列周边和纪念品。Welcome to a new feature on the 25th anniversary celebration blog site - Treasure Hunters! I am Rodrigo Martin Santos, webmaster of TombRaiderCollection.com and for the next few months we will be analyzing different objects and memorabilia of the franchise.
该系列博文是专门为劳拉·克劳馥的忠实粉丝们呈献的，因此我想深度挖掘，去分析研究在《古墓丽影》和游戏行业历史中非常罕见或具有文化价值的官方周边
These blogs will be dedicated particularly to those staunch fans of Lara Croft so I want to go a step further and analyze official merchandising that are really rare or that have a cultural value within the history of Tomb Raider, and of course of the gaming industry.
每个月，该系列博文将会为《古墓丽影》系列中不同的角色或某一代作品量身打造。我们讨论的对象将不局限于该电子游戏本体的发行年份，相反，我们要从该游戏所具备的美学特征出发并从中得到灵感的启发。
The blogs will dedicate each month to a different character or game from the series. The objects that we will describe will not be limited to the launch year of the video game itself, but will be contained and inspired by the aesthetic features of the game to be analyzed.
今天我们将从《古墓丽影2》开始，这是《古墓丽影》系列电子游戏的第二部作品，于1997年10月31日正式发售。
Today we will start the section with Tomb Raider II, the second video game in the franchise that officially went on sale on October 31, 1997.
《古墓丽影》系列于1996年推出，其销售成绩令人瞩目（《古墓丽影1》售出700万份），Eidos Interactive公司（英国著名游戏公司）希望在其续作《古墓丽影2》（1997）中重复这一成功模式，该续作的销量与上一部作品相当。
After the Tomb Raider franchise took off in 1996 and reached a resounding sales success (7 million units sold from the first game), Eidos Interactive wanted to repeat the formula for success with its sequel "TOMB RAIDER II" (1997) that managed to match the number of units sold of its predecessor.
从那时起，劳拉·克劳馥逐渐成为一个超越电子游戏世界、潜入大众文化、涵盖各种娱乐形式领域的偶像。对她的粉丝来说，劳拉不仅仅是一个角色，更是一位名人。
Lara Croft was becoming an icon that transcended the world of video games and sneaked into popular culture, encompassing other areas of entertainment mediums. To her fans, Lara was not just a character but a celebrity.
劳拉成为首个成功跳出电子游戏并开始“带货”的虚拟电子人物，这越来越偏离了创造她的初衷。由于劳拉·克劳馥所展现的形象和她所代表的价值观，许多商业品牌利用她的名声来推销他们的产品。受迪斯尼商业模式的启发，Eidos公司实际上开始在不同的衍生品的营销中展露劳拉·克劳馥的面孔。在当时，这种操作在游戏界是非常不寻常的事情，多年后，我们看到这个市场定位引发了相关产品的爆炸式增长，放在今天来看，这其实是再正常不过的了。
Lara managed to become the first human-like cybernetic character to jump from a video game to start selling products that were moving further and further away from the reason for which she had been created. Different brands used picked up her fame to market their products thanks to the image that Lara Croft projected and the values that she represented. Inspired by Disney's business model, the company actually began to capture the face of Lara Croft in different merchandising sub-products. This was something really unusual in the gaming world and that over the years would find its market niche causing an explosion of content that today is the most normal.
除了发售电子游戏，越来越多的机会开始涌现，劳拉·克劳馥现在能够销售手办、t恤、钢笔、电脑产品，甚至有由官方模特罗娜·迈特拉（Rhona Mitra）灌制的个人音乐唱片，此外还与其他各类广告开展合作。
After video game sales came more opportunities, Lara Croft was now able to sell figures, t-shirts, pens, computer products, even her own musical CD played by model Rhona Mitra - as well as collaborations with advertising contracts.
下面，我们将分析研究一些受到《古墓丽影2》启发的产品！
We will analyze some of their products inspired by TOMB RAIDER II below!

金色托纳萨克（Tornarsuk）面具复制品
Golden Tornarsuk Mask Replica
该面具来源于《古墓丽影2》黄金版，即《古墓丽影2黄金版：黄金面具》，共有5个追加关卡。这件托纳萨克（Tornarsuk，因纽特神话中的众神之神）黄金面具神器的复制品由9k黄金制成，是1999年为吸引玩家购买再版游戏而举办的促销活动的一部分。一些游戏包装盒中有一张中奖彩票，如果你有幸拿到一张彩票，就有机会回答一些鸡毛蒜皮的小问题，从而有机会赢得这件复制品。在众多的奖品套装中，黄金面具只是其中之一。
Based on the Gold version of Tomb Raider II with five bonus levels titled "Golden Mask", this replica of the Tornarsuk Golden Mask artifact is made of 9k gold and was part of a promotional campaign for those who bought the rerelease in 1999. Some game boxes contained a winning ticket, and if you received one, you had the chance to answer trivia questions for a chance to win this replica. The mask was one of many bonus prize packages.
一共只有15个黄金面具，菲尔·坎贝尔（Phil Campbell，项目负责人）拥有其中一个。带支架的黄金面具高11英寸（28厘米）。
There are only 15 masks total, with Phil Campbell (project leader) owning one of them. The mask with the stand is 11 inches tall (28 cm).

1997 Promotional poster for Tomb Raider II
该海报当时由开发团队亲笔签名。这些签名由黄金制成，分别是：加文·拉默里（Gavin Rummery，首席程序员）、尼尔·博伊德（Neal Boyd，关卡设计师）、斯图尔特·阿特金森（Stuart Atkinson，首席动画师）、乔斯·查梅特（Joss Charmet，角色模型师）和杰森“JJ”高斯林（Jason“JJ”Gosling，程序员）。不幸的是，尼尔·博伊德（Neal Boyd，关卡设计师）近期于2020年3月7日去世——他因在《古墓丽影1》和《古墓丽影2》中的杰出作品而被人们铭记。
This poster was signed in person at the time by the development team. The signatures, made in gold, correspond to: Gavin Rummery (Lead Programmer), Neal Boyd (Level Designer), Stuart Atkinson (Lead Animator), Joss Charmet (Character Models) and Jason “JJ” Gosling (Programmer). Unfortunately, Neal Boyd recently passed away on March 7, 2020 - he is remembered for his amazing work on Tomb Raider I and Tomb Raider II.
原版索拉（Sola）潜水服
Original Sola Wetsuit
《古墓丽影2》里劳拉·克劳馥在水下关卡中使用的潜水服，设计灵感最初就来自于这件潜水服。它属于1980年成立的索拉体育有限公司（Sola Sports Ltd），这款潜水服于1997年设计，由于其款式设计的成功，当然还有《古墓丽影》电子游戏的成功，该款潜水衣在几年后共再版了3个类似的款式。本图展示的潜水服是第一版。
This was the original wetsuit that inspired the design of the one used by Lara Croft in the underwater levels of Tomb Raider II. Belonging to the Sola Sports Ltd company founded in 1980, this wetsuit was designed in 1997 and had up to 3 similar reissues years later due to the success of its design and of course that of the video game. The image shows the first edition.
艺夺公司和索拉体育（Sola Sports）之间并没有直接的合作，《古墓丽影》的程序员直接照搬了潜水服的款式设计。在游戏的测试版中，劳拉还没有穿上这种款式设计的潜水服，而是穿着一件末端有红色条纹的黑色潜水服。在最终版的人物模型中，穿着SOLA潜水服的模型取而代之，就如如今所有粉丝知道的那样，在那几个水下关卡的色调的映衬下，SOLA潜水服更具视觉吸引力和现代感。
There was no direct collaboration between Eidos Interactive and Sola Sports, the programmers simply used the design. In the beta edition of the game, Lara was not even wearing this design, she was wearing a black wetsuit with red stripes on the ends. That model ended up being replaced in the final version by the SOLA one that all fans know today because it was more visually attractive and modern combined with the color palette of the levels.
原版劳拉·克劳馥服装
Original Lara Croft Costume
官方模特、女演员罗娜·迈特拉（Rhona Mitra）曾在1997年和1998年初的活动中扮演劳拉·克劳馥，她当时穿着了该原版劳拉服装。
The original Lara costumed was used by the model and actress Rhona Mitra who portrayed Lara Croft at events during 1997 and early 1998.
在德比市的核心设计工作室的办公室里，这套服装被用作装饰，展示了很多年，直到该办公室关闭为止。
This outfit also served as a decoration for many years in Core Design's offices in Derby until its closure.
来自英国汉普郡的模特罗娜·迈特拉（Rhona Mitra）在21岁时被Eidos Interactive公司选中，取代了前任劳拉娜塔莉·库克（Nathalie Cook）。
The British model Rhona Mitra from Hampshire was selected by Eidos Interactive when she was 21 years old and after replacing her previous namesake, Nathalie Cook.
随后，罗娜·迈特拉（Rhona Mitra）以劳拉·克劳馥的身份录制了一张音乐专辑，这张专辑由戴夫·斯图尔特（Dave Stewart）制作，Naked Record唱片公司录制，共有11首歌曲和2首单曲。据罗娜·迈特拉（Rhona Mitra）说，这张专辑是在牙买加和亚马逊河上录制的。
Rhona Mitra went on to record a musical album like Lara Croft that was produced by Dave Stewart and recorded under the Naked Record label with 11 songs plus 2 singles. The album was recorded in Jamaica and on the Amazon River, according to the actress.
彩色树脂人物模型
Resin figure model painting kit
这个彩色树脂人物模型是1997年由Oxmox工作室（一家制作电影道具的公司，出过不少静态模型）为艺夺公司制作的。劳拉·克劳馥正单膝跪在地上，她拔出双枪作射击状；底部是一个岩石状底座，上面雕刻着西安神龙。
This resin figure model painting kit was made by Studio Oxmox in 1997 for Eidos Interactive. We can see Lara Croft kneeling with her pistols drawn as an attack with a rocky base where she has the Dragon of Xian engraved.
还有另一个与这个版本相似的人物模型，那个版本附了一个木乃伊，但因为太大而从未上市。这个人物模型的发行量非常有限，现在想弄到手几乎不可能了。在过去的15年里，互联网上有人出售该模型的山寨版，但山寨版与正品的主要区别有以下三个方面：
There was another version similar to this one but with a mummy that was never marketed because it was too big. This figure had a really limited run and nowadays it is practically impossible to get. In the last 15 years, counterfeit versions have appeared on the internet that sold the same kit, however the main differences between the counterfeit copies and the original lie mainly in these three aspects:
· 山寨版模型的底座是平的，而正品的底座是中空的。
· The base of the counterfeit statue is flat while the original is hollow.
· 山寨版的岩石细节不够精细，而正品的底座边缘的细节也是精心打造的。
· Rock details are less elaborate in the counterfeit version, the original version features finely crafted details at the ends of the base.
· 山寨版的手枪的顶端没有枪管。
· Pistols of the counterfeit version do not have a barrel at the end.
