However, cheating is not the only way to solve your problems!  

There are ways to use Lara's game to her own advantage...
The games are made up of Squares, which determine how the room looks and what it is made up of.   You can see these blocks between the textures.

A running jump can move Lara three squares
A standing jump can move Lara two squares

Using the 'Square System' can help you navigate jumps easily, so master it earlier on in the game.

Weapons are found throughout the games, and so is their ammunition.   How you use these once you acquire them should be overseen...

Pistols-Lara has these in TR 1-5.   They have moderate stopping power but have unlimited ammo.   Use in the earlier levels for the enemies are easier to defeat or use once you run out of ammo in the other guns (assuming you do run out)

Shotgun-Lara has this in every game.   A very good gun to use up close and take down most normal foes with two shots.   Ammo is somewhat rare and you usually won't be holding too much shotgun ammo.   Use to kill any human or medium sized enemy.

Magnums (TR1) Automatic Pistols (TR2)-Lara acquires these somewhat early in the games.   They are more powerful and conventional than the Pistols.   Use often, or at least until you upgrade to the Uzis.   Ammo is easy to find so use often with any particular foe.

Uzis-Lara finds these after several levels (or in TR1 near the end of the game).   These are one of the most powerful pistols you will find.   With a high rate of fire and superior stopping power, feel free to use anywhere as long as you have a few hundred bullets saved up.

Desert Eagle (TR3 & TR5) Revolver (TR4 & TR5)-The Desert Eagle and Revolver are the most powerful pistols in the whole game.   Just as powerful as the shotgun but with a greater shooting range, these guns pack a punch!   Lara will only use one of these guns, not two as with the other pistols.   Ammo is not very hard to find but can also be rare at times.   Use to easily kill any foe.

Harpoon Gun-Lara only uses the Harpoon gun in TR 2&3.   It is the only gun that can be used underwater.   Ammo is sparse in water oriented levels but the reload time (after four harpoons are fired) is rather slow.   It is advised to avoid any underwater foes and take them on from dry land.

Grenade Gun-Lara uses the Grenade Gun in TR 2,3,4,&5.   It will explode after several seconds of being deployed or will blow up once it hits any wall or enemy.   Useful for easily tearing through enemies.   Ammo varies per level, so save it for those tougher enemies.

Rocket Launcher-Lara can find the Rocket Launcher in TR3.   It is the most powerful gun in the game, fiercely propelling through the air to it's target.   It will explode upon contact and kill with one shot.   Ammo is rare, so use with discresion.

M16 (TR2) MP5 (TR3&TR5)-The M16 or MP5 is a very powerful carbine useful for gunning down enemies far away.   The time it takes to aim the gun is rather slow, however, so close combat witht these guns is not advised.   Ammo is somewhat rare, so save it for special occasions, except for TR5.   In the final three levels of TR5, Lara will only use the MP5 as a weapon.   It has a scope and three different modes of fire, Sniper Mode, Burst Mode, and Rapid Mode.   Sniper Mode is most effective because every bullet counts at this part of the game!   It is advised to not use the Rapid Mode at all.
