There’s another good example Clock Tower. I’m not saying that as a negative. Regardless of how that series started to go downhill after Resident Evil 4 (or wherever depending on your opinion), but after it hit the scene, just damn near every survival horror game had to involve a secret bio-chemical company with an evil plot – I’m looking at you, Clock Tower: The Struggle Within.
Then along came Resident Evil and changed that game. I still bust that game out from time to time to play.
I remember playing Alone in the Dark on 3DO and being floored by it. Call me old fashioned, but I miss the good ol’ days of survival horror when it was you and your wits, no weapons (or at least very limited), a somewhat simple plot, the cheesy dialogue and of course, the really cool killers these games seemed to have.
