Vikander felt inspired by Tomb Raider games

Los Angeles March 1 (IANS) Actress Alicia Vikander says she felt inspired playing the "Tomb Raider" video games as a child.

"I did not have a Playstation at home sadly - but with my family friends the boys in their family had a Playstation.

"I was probably I think around ten-ish when I came there. I remember I looked at the TV screen and I had never seen a girl a woman being the protagonist in a video game and was thrilled and stood there just watching " Vikander told Games Radar.

In fact the Swedish actress said the first "Tomb Raider" game will always mean a lot to her because it made such a lasting impression reports femalefirst.co.uk.

She said: "I would say the first Tomb Raider meant a lot in the sense that I love adventure films (and here was) a game where I suddenly could go to Egypt or Atlantis - those were the worlds that I read books about and dreamt to go to when I was a child. That will always mean a lot because I was quite young."
