Looking Back to 1996, celebrating the weirdness of Resident Evil on the PS1

But we’d be in danger of sticking Resident Evil on a pedestal (presumably with a slot at the bottom where a crest should go), when it’s less than perfect, and it’s those flaws that make it so endearing. There’s a weirdness about the original Resident Evil, and some of the quirks have been accepted as wrinkles in the fabric of the series, while others have been long-forgotten. Let’s take a moment to celebrate that weirdness.
