Android games Tomb Raider 1 & 2 disappeared. Why's that?

by [deleted]

It's really strange. I just got my PHILIPS Ambilight 55PUS8204/12 55" Smart 4K TV today. As it's an Android TV, I signed in using my Google account and it suggested apps. Three of them were the games Tomb Raider, TR 2, and Evoland.

I thought, that it would be a fun idea to try them out on my TV so I checked the download tick box next to each. They were added to my queued download list amongst all the other apps like Twitch, Steam Link ect.

However, I had an update to do. It appeared to add Youview feature for my TV, and although it warned me that I'll lose everything through the reboot, I was confident I'll just redownload everything. Weirdly, enough the three games mentioned are missing in the Google Play Store and aren't searchable.

Has the new firmware purged them?

Great news. Well, looks like I finally managed to sort my issue out and get a few on there. Weirdly enough the app store doesn't list my games I already own, but the Google Games separate application on my Philips Android television shows my TV compatible games from my library. Tomb Raider 1 and 2 (which I already own from my purchased list) are now installable along with Evoland and the Oddsorld: Abe's Oddysee Remake.

In all fairness, I've also found some cool emulators too. It's pretty mind boggling that I may effectively run retro games straight from my television without other hardware.
