1996 ad of RE1
-
That zombie is as iconic as anything else in the series to me.
ID: gu20bw1ID: gu2p9ooIt creeped me the fuck out as a kid. I was 8 or 9 when that game came out but I have never forgotten this image haha.
-
The best one had I think a close up of a dog and said something like "don't waste your bullets, you might need the last one for yourself."
ID: gu2ixlvdang, edgy!
ID: gu2u02nIf these walls could talk, they'd scream. Is My favorite one.
-
Fear can't kill you.
But....
ID: gu2b1liI love the text that shows up in RE Zero when you load your game, something like "Are those distant footsteps the sound of other survivors?"
-
Thanks for the memories! I remember this ad in all the major game magazines like EGM, Next Generation, and Gamepro. I also remember renting the PS1 at Blockbuster countless times just to play RE1 because I couldn't afford to buy a system at the time.

I miss the LamePro jokes...
Resident Freakin’ Evil: Director’s Cuss
President Evil: Gore More Years! (Maybe it was 4 Gore Years)
Unrelated, but my favorite LamePro satire title was Tupac: Dinosaur Killa
ID: gu3j7s1I remember something about Pres Evil and Abe Lincoln as a zombie.

I was 16; this is definitely giving me the good nostalgia vibes
ID: gu2du10I wish I could be this young at that time, I was born 2 years later lol.
Even though I think we can appreciate Resident Evil 1 and the others OGs today I don't think we can feel the way you guys felt when it was released. There was nothing like it at the time, playing it as a child or even a teen like you were in the night back then may have been a whole new experience.
ID: gu2g38zThat is true, you can never replicate the feeling of playing something when it was new. RE1 was the first game I ever played that scared me, and having actual voice acting was such a novelty I never noticed how bad it was.
ID: gu2ijcfMy first playthrough was at 2 am during a storm, and I also lived in a trailer park at the time; combine the thunder, lightning and torrential rainfall, with the moan of a zombie that’s not quite in your line of sight and you’ve got quite the terrifying experience.
I’ll never forget that memory
ID: gu2o9wlme too; it was so good, a load of us played it together with a massive block of shitty soap bar and a bottle of 20-20
ID: gu352uuMe too. So many good memories of this game.

"If the suspense doesn't kill you, something else will..."
I remember that from RE2. Such a cool badass line and so 90s.
-
The same tagline was used with RE2 too iirc
ID: gu2awayYup, on the back of the case!

One thing that makes the Resident Evil Remake my favorite game of all time is that I used to be scared and uneasy when I played this but as soon as the remake released it made the original seem like more of a comedy by comparison. I still absolutely love this game but there’s a reason that the Resident Evil Remake is still considered the king of remakes. Hell, look at how much more of an option remaking a game become post RE Remake.
ID: gu2an2uThe original 1996 game and the sequel will always be my favorites. Almost all the remakes incl the recent re2 one are amazingly well done but nothing can beat the aesthetic of those first 3 games. And the sound, and the nostalgia... Ahh
-
Oh, now I see where BMTH's Parasite Eve lyric comes from! They also referenced RE in their song Dear Diary, "tasty, itchy".
-
"If the suspense doesn't kill you, something else will."
Best tagline in the franchise.
-
Ahh I love seeing other things reference this shot. It's so iconic
ID: gu26vhiAhh I love seeing
Other things reference this
Shot. It's so iconic

This would make such a great poster

My favorite Tag Line of any Horror Release ever created.
-
Dat Zombie still haunts me till this date , goddamn spooky
-
That zombie face is so iconic and creepy, nothing else in the whole serie hold a candle next to that in term of horror imo.
-
My first resident evil i played was 2. It was at a friend house. I had the N64 because i didn’t believed the Playstation to be successful. How wrong i was, i was flabbergasted by the cinematic and the mature content. I sold my N64 two weeks later to buy a Playstation and a month later, Ocarina of time released. To vent my frustration i played the shit of the 3 resident evil. Fun times !

If the Jill sandwich doesn't kill you, something else will.
-
This as actually introduced me to the series. I had it posted on my wall as a kid
-
Same rn after I thought village was coming out on 7th April now I can't wait.
-
If suspense doesn't kill you...
Suspense...
Sus!!!
-
I wanna have a high quality print out of this. Its gorgeous!
-
This goes so hard
-
Bless
-
I remember these on old playstation magazines.
-
Flashback to nightmares as a 4/5 year old
-
That is honestly an incredibly effective ad. How could you NOT want to play that?
-
I still find it really interesting that they left Richard Aiken as the guy on the game case.
-
This was one of the first I saw that sold me on it. And the infamous bloodbath ad
-
Game legit scared me as a kid and I'm certain is one of the main reasons I've become a zombie movie fanatic. Too bad zombie movies have been sucking hard recently.
-
I actually had (may still have; need to look in storage) this version in this case.
Those cases didn't exist long in US as the change to jewel cases was soon after this release. The Directors Cut is what was put in the jewel case version and is significantly easier than this version.
-
Fucking love this era of magazine ads
-
Was so good, would love to relive this part of my life again
-
Brings back memories!
-
It’s timeless like the exorcist poster it just works
-
Gamepro magazine
-
You were almost a jill sandwich
-
Funny because there no zombie that looks like that in any game
-
We've come a long way from this zombie to lady Dimitriscue

I agree. It's pure art.
