Dino Crisis

I found a copy of Dino Crisis. YAY! :) I'm looking forward to putting in some play time. Unfortunately school starts tomorrow, so who knows how much time I will actually get to put in. The nice thing is most of my classes are via the internet, so I can log in anytime I want to. And do the work. So I plan on getting in a good 5 hours for that game.

I'm doing a bit of research, and everyone knows that survival horror got its start with Resident Evil and Silent Hill. What most people don't know is that this genera goes back to Atari. Atari 2600 game Haunted House featured monsters, mostly bats and ghosts, solving puzzles, and mangaing your invantory that you see in todays games. So, technically, this was the FIRST game in the genera. Then we have Sweet Home which is a Nintendo game release in 1989. This is the game that would later inspire the "opening door" loading screen seen in Resident Evil. It also featured a mansion that also would inspire RE.

Borrowed from wiki here is a synopsis of the game: Sweet Home follows a team of five people who venture into the deserted mansion of the deceased Mamiya Ichirou to photograph her frescoes. Upon entering the house, the door locks behind them and the group discover that the mansion is haunted by Mamiya's ghost, among other creatures. Now they must find a way out of the mansion before they are all killed.

I don't know if I can find these two games, I would love to get a hold of them, but these are pretty old and finding emulations, let alone ORIGINAL copies of these games may be nearly impossible!

On a more exciting note I got Nananshi no game!
