All PS1 games are compatable with the PS2, depending on which PS2 you got, the fat or slim, you will notice a slight improvement on gameplay. Sometimes however. For instance my slim PS2 will freeze some games cause it gets hot easily, that is due to the lack of the fan that the fat PS2 has, however my fat PS2 runs the games perfectly cause it can keep the system cool. All in all, all PS1 games are compatable with the PS2, considering they aren't scratched to hell and back.

There are some PS1 games that Sony supposedly said had problems on the PS2, but in most cases I think they never specified the nature of the problems. I don't know if that information would still be in Sony's support site after all this time. GameFAQs has some information about compatibility in their Playstation 2 hardware FAQs. I didn't see any mention of Tomb Raider in the one I looked at, so I would assume that game works fine.

Yeah, Mortal Kombat Trilogy freezes up if you beat arcade mode or get a game over when you play on PS2 (and even PS3). You'll get nothing but a black screen and some music, it's kind of creepy now that I think about it...
