Resident Evil – A potted history

That list was awful.

Dates were wrong, formats not listed and terrible spelling. No mention of Gun Survivor, Gun Survivor 2, the remake, Dead Aim, Gaiden, Outbreak, Outbreak 2 or Umbrella Chronicles.

Tut.

Oh dear. Sorry about that. It was early and it seemed like a good idea.

They missed the Director’s Cut of Resi 1, too.

By gods, of all the RE histories I’ve read… and so on.
It was so bad it was entertaining.
/saves for “Friday Fun” list

Code Veronica was the only RE title that genuinely, properly scared the willies out of me. The bit when you had to go to the top of the creepy wooden house on the hill, with the manikin hanging from the rafters?

Then you find out that the main baddy likes to dress up as his sister. Maybe you had to be there…

“They missed the Director’s Cut of Resi 1, too.”

that’s the first resident evil i played on my own PS

i remember my little brothers sneaking into the room to watch me play and hiding behind pillows at scarier bits

now they’re both gaming monsters with infinity billion gamer points

Code: Veronica X was never released on the Dreamcast.

It was released on PS2 and Gamecube, the modified version of C:V on the Dreamcast was called Code: Veronica Complete. It contained the same content, however.

Yeah, I’m a huge Resident Evil nerd.
