FYI LeopardPorts just released a port of "OpenLara":

Quote
OpenLara is an open-source engine for the classic Tomb Raider (also Tomb Raider II and Tomb Raider III to some extent ) developed by XProger.

The project is cross-platform but the Web version is preferred and you always can see the latest changes by the link Web build with demo level.
Windows, Linux, MacOS X, Web platforms, NES / SNES Classic Mini and Google VR are currently supported.

Notes:
The engine can load up files for later games but it has hit or miss compatibility with them. TR2 seemed OK in the first area but I've read some later stuff doesn't work. TR3 loads and runs but the first area in the game you get stuck in and that's that. TR4 doesn't run at all, same with TR5.

The author has stated (albeit, years in the past) that he intends for the project to support TR3-TR5 in the future but for now the only thing that for sure works is TR1.

UPDATE 03.09.2025:
Added a largely untested PPC 10.5 build of the game.

Compatibility:
Intel / PPC Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard and later

Cool would be nice if there were versions for M1 like under Windows 11

Ah yes but I was thinking of the recent official remaster of the original six games
