Resident Evil

I used to watch my cousin play this game as a kid then I started getting to the franchise as I could actually hold the controller. I missed these old games and im glad to see them back.

The game that started it all! Still a timeless classic that I feel like holds up surprisingly well today (minus the tank controls which can take some getting used to). Corny dialogue and all, this game is just plain fun.

Even if the remake has made the 1996 original game (kind of) obsolete, the former still has its own charm and is worth experiencing. I love it.

Resident Evil is my second favorite franchise - Metal Gear Solid is the first one. Thank you, GoG, for bringing this masterpiece!

This is NOT the Director's Cut from 1997 - there's no Beginner or Arrange mode. This is the Windows 95 PC port from 1996, updated to work on modern systems. It also has exclusive content (two costumes and two weapons), and all the cutscenes are uncensored. UNLOCKABLES: - Closet Key - Get the best ending (rescue Jill and Rebecca as Chris, or Chris and Barry as Jill). Unlocks a secret room on the first floor of the mansion where you can change costumes. - Minimi/Ingram - Clear the game in under four hours. Chris gets the Minimi, a light machine gun; Jill gets the Ingram, a submachine gun. Both are exclusive to the PC port, and have infinite ammo. - Infinite Launcher - Finish the game without saving to get a Rocket Launcher with infinite ammo. Bonus content is accessed by loading the "00" save created after a successful run, so to get everything on a single file you'll need to complete the game in less than four hours, get the best ending, and do it all without saving at a typewriter. Then do it TWICE to get it all for BOTH characters. The best advice I can give is that being stingy with healing items is a death sentence. If your health bar is at Orange/Caution, use a full heal, because the alternative could be getting decapitated by an off-screen Hunter's leaping attack and losing an hour of progress. The same goes for your weapons; that magnum collecting dust in your item box yearns for slaughter. Oblige it. Feed it a stray zombie. As a treat. Other things worth noting about this port: - The only way to close the game (other than ALT+F4) is F9 - Jill Valentine's "New Game" is easy mode for some reason - enemies take fewer hits to kill, and you can save at typewriters without ink ribbons. (In "New Game+" Jill needs ink ribbons to save, though.) As for GOG's work restoring the game, they did a magnificent job. Tested multiple controllers - XBOX One, PS4, Logitech F310 - all of them worked. The game is also incredibly stable - it never crashed on me once. Buy it.
