"The plot of a computer game could not be more outlandish. A dotcom millionaire cashes in at the height of the boom, pocketing millions and begins a playboy lifestyle in sunny South Africa.

For Charles Cornwall, the founder of Eidos - the company behind the blockbusting Tomb Raider computer games - his dream had become reality.
