On this day in Horror History, Resident Evil made its initial release on Playstation in Japan. Arguably one of the most influential games ever, it coined the term “Survival Horror” and spawned an entire franchise released on most every console, PC, and even resulted in a popular film remake. Released in Japan as バイオ ハザード which translates to “Bio-Hazard”, it has been thrust into horror and video game infamy and has received the Guinness World Record for the "Worst Game Dialogue Ever" as well as being listed as one of TIME Magazine’s Top 100 greatest video games of all time. The legacy that has followed in the wake of the S.T.A.R.S elite’s struggle to survive in a zombie filled mansion, has stolen the hearts and free time of legions of video game and horror buffs for more than a decade, hell-bent on continuing that tradition as one of the most lucrative and beloved game franchises to date.
“Alpha Team is flying around the forest zone situated in North-west Raccoon City, where we are searching for the helicopter of our compatriots, Bravo Team, who disappeared during the middle of our mission. Bizarre murder cases have recently occurred in Raccoon City. There are outlandish reports of families being attacked by a group of about ten people. Victims... were apparently eaten. Bravo Team went to the hideout of the group, and disappeared. “ – Chris Redfield
