A Funny Story Dating back to 1996
back in the day, in 1996, i was 10 years old, i didnt have a games console, my parents always got me computers.. (Spectrum, Amiga and PC) as you could pick up the games so much cheaper and easier back then...
anyways i remeber getting the PC Format magagazine as i usually did to get the game demos...
there was a demo for resident evil on it, and i had heard that this game was meant to be quite scary, and as it had a 15 rating, it had a cool factor with me being 10! (very sad i know, but weve all been there wether it be films etc...!)
So i invited my best friend James over to check it out with me, we popped in the disc, installed the demo and ran the game...
the title screen was a little chilling saying "Resident Evil"...
we played through the first few minutes and thought.. "whats all the fuss about? were not scared" ...then it came to the first zombie encounter with the FMV Sequence of it eating the STARS Member... this slightly scared me, but deep down i thought "Its only a game! Its only a game!" so we blew the crap outta this zombie and carried on....
the door sequences also sent a shiver down my spine, as the slow openin of the door mixed with the creaking can really scare a 10 year old!!!
so we eventually got to the part where your team splits up and goes missing and you have to check the opposite room... casually walking down the corridoor... then BAM!
two high pitched undeveloped voices start screaming!
my mum comes running in to see if were ok
...the zombie dog had smashed thru the window in the small coridoor and scared the daylights out of me and james!!!!
we hit alt+F4, quit the game and i didnt play it again... i just stuck to monkey island and my favourites for a long long time...
..until today, ive decided to finally confront it on the Sega Saturn, as i recently got it quite cheap... so if anyone hears a scream near by, dont panic its only me!
i just thought id share this gaming memory with you all....
