Resident Evil Turns 30

Today marks the 30th anniversary of Resident Evil. The game was released on March 22, 1996. First on the PS1 in Japan, later in the United States, Saturn and PC. It received numerous awards from gaming press, including Game of the Year, and launched the most popular horror series in industry history. The first installment established the conventions of survival horror, introduced 3D pre‑rendered backgrounds, live actors in the intro, and the iconic line "You were almost a Jill sandwich." Do you remember the early steps through the mansion and the sudden appearance of zombies that changed the perception of fear in games?
