About Resident Evil (1996)
✦ AI summary
Resident Evil (1996) is a survival horror game where you navigate a mansion infested with bioengineered monsters, solving puzzles and scavenging weapons to survive the nightmare. It pioneered the genre with its haunting atmosphere, fixed camera angles that build tension, and the choice between two protagonists facing horrors both familiar and unknown.
"Evil Has a New Address.
Yours."
Your Special Tactics and Rescue Squad has been choppered to a remote mansion to investigate a biotechnical experiment gone hideously wrong. Before you can say “mass murder,” you’re plunged straight into a deathtrap writhing with man-eating freaks, swarming crows and rabid dogs.
Arm yourself with knives and flame-throwers scavenged from dead teammates. Solve puzzles, disarm traps and unearth mysteries. But beware: every move you make draws you deeper into the deadly embrace of Resident Evil.
All 4 localizations of the game included (English, German, French, Japanese).
Improved DirectX game renderer.
New rendering options (Windowed Mode, Vertical Synchronization Control, Gamma Correction, Integer Scaling, Anti-Aliasing and more).
Improved timing of the cutscenes.
Improved game video player.
Improved game registry settings.
Issue-free game exit and task switching.
Graphic Option Settings Overview
"Display mode" - Provides the control over monitor resolution and refresh rate.
"Presentation" - Provides the control over presentation mode (fullscreen / windowed).
"Aspect ratio correction" - Provides the control over image aspect ratio correction.
"Scaling method" - Provides the control over image scaling mode (how image is scaled on a monitor).
"Vertical synchronization" - Provides the control over vertical synchronization (frame synchronization).
"Gamma Correction” - Provides the control over gamma correction (image brightness).
"Anisotropic filtering" - Provides the control over anisotropic texture filtering technique (texturing quality).
"Antialiasing" - Provides the control over anti-aliasing technique (3D geometry edges smoothing).
※WARNING※ The difference of each settings may be difficult to distingush depending on the environment
Completely uncut, with even more blood, graphic violence and gory scenes than the worldwide monster hit version on PlayStation.
A swarm of unknown horrors prowl the mansion’s hundreds of rooms, including its underground lairs, the graveyard and some unwelcoming guest houses.
Unprecedented detail-intense texture maps, shadows and lighting effects, plus ever-changing camera angles, create a frighteningly rich 3-D environment.
Choose to play tough guy marksman Chris Redfield or hardcore demolition expert Jill Valentine, both brought to life with realistic polygon character graphics.
Ominous digital surround soundtrack features haunting music that intensifies the action.
This re-released version of the game was co-developed by GOG.

Resident Evil (1996) is a classic survival horror game that remains enjoyable today, though players note the tank controls take some adjustment to master. Most reviewers praise it as essential and charming, though some find it noticeably harder than its sequels, and the Steam port occasionally has minor controller recognition issues that community fixes can resolve. Players generally recommend experiencing the original alongside the remake, viewing it as a worthwhile piece of the franchise's history.

A great port of an incredible game. For new players the controls can take a minute to get used to but I promise it's worth it.2 found this helpful
This game was apart of my childhood and I am now happy to say that I own a copy of it on steam.1 found this helpful
I never got very far when I played this one when I was younger, it was too hard. It is good to return to it and to actually be able to get past the first few puzzles... I have just finished RE2 (1998) and RE3 (1999) and this is definitely the hardest of the bunch but it is equally as good. I love the classic Resident Evil trilogy, I am glad to have finally finished them all, all be it 20+ years later.1 found this helpful
WHAT A MANSION!
Charming and fun, the original Resident Evil is still a good time. This is a no-frills port that works well enough. I did experience some issues getting the game to recognize my controller a couple of times, but it was easily fixed by applying different different community-provided templates. If you've only ever played the 2002 remake, you're missing out. RE1 1996 is essential.
