The RE that started it for me the Saturn port of the classic. as a ten year old this game blew my mind away.The local police elite unit Stars investigates an area were attacks on civilians have been accuring in Raccoon City. You can play as Jill or Chris two separate stories within the one. Chris version of the game is a harder mode were he receives less ammo and ink ribbens, and can only hold 6 items before going to the inventory box located in save rooms, So use your inventory wisely. Zombies take more shots with the handgun. Chris also does not find the Grenade Launcher "Bazooka".Also a fun surprise after you fight the Tyrant for the first time when the second one breaks out only on Chris's Campaign.Chris also can take more damage than Jill. Jill holds 8 items and finds a Grenade launcher and more ink ribbens for saving, and Barry can help you depending on how you play the game. both are great to play I prefer Chris the harder mode of the game. Jill's campaign is also great for the extra weopens and so many ways to play though the game.
Each character has 3 endings depending on how many of your comrades you save or you can simply only save yourself for speed runs. For the full experience I suggest save both characters on each scenario. To receive the good ending And fight the Tyrant on the heliport, which can be done if you save your partner Barry, or Rebecca depending on which campaign you play, you also have the option to save Chris, or Jill if you locate all the mo discs and figure out where to use them in the laboratory.
The game starts, A Huge mansion filled with hundreds of rooms mutilated people and animals lurking around every corner, due the viral experiment gone wrong. The Spencer Mansion filled with traps and hidden keys and weopens to move further into the nighmare. Explore a eerie garden and guest house for researcher's and a plant project gone wrong a huge mutilated snake creeping around looking for dinner. Find files and diary's to get a idea of what the heck happened here. Eventually learn that a laboratory is just underneath this Mansion were the Iconic Umbrella pharmacutical company does bio weopens research. Watch most of your comrades die in this experiment and find a way out..no more spoilers if you had not played this game than what are you doing. By the way the controls have always been fun to use the so called tank controls. Item management use your ammo and herbs wisely to survive this horrors.
The Saturn version is still and always will be my favorite way to play this game. I prefer the character models on Saturn over the PlayStation version. The prerendered environments are still beautiful today. This version also gives you a nice bonus Battle Game the First one in the RE Franchise and only on the Saturn Port. Basically the first mercenaries mode. It's fun to play a few times To see Zombie Wesker. To wrapt this up The Saturn version is an awesome port of Resident Evil if you for some reason never played this game play it now. I prefer this version even over the GameCube remake but love that game in its own way thanks for reading.
