That was back when the Tomb Raider franchise was a big thing. One day a customer asked me if there was a game like that with a male protagonist. I must admit I looked at him sort of blankly for a moment before I figured out why anybody would want such a thing.

For the record, no, there wasn't. And in the intervening decade and change I don't believe anybody's come up with one.
