April 7 (UPI) -- A British woman showed her love of her favorite video game series by earning the Guinness World Record for the largest collection of Tomb Raider games.
Amy Dyson, whose world record coincides with the 30th anniversary of the first Tomb Raider game, owns 291 unique copies of the games in the franchise, including special editions, the same game for separate consoles and foreign-language releases.
"I first started playing Tomb Raider round about age six, and it was just absolutely fascinating that there was a game that had a female protagonist and she was a strong character," Dyson told Guinness World Records. "It was the puzzle solving and this divide between the type of games that my brother played and one that felt uniquely made for me."
Dyson took the record from Spanish collector Alejandro Cambronero Albaladejo, whose collection was tallied at 215 in 2017.
She said the video games help her deal with functional neurological disorder, which causes her to experience symptoms including brain fog, ticks, tremors and paralysis.
