I was waiting for #1.......And lo and behold, it's #1.
#1 was/is the defining moment that makes Resident Evil, Resident Evil. My best friend bought Resident Evil when the PS1 hadn't quite taken off yet (ala, well before FFVII). I'll never forget: I was on a couch with my twin brother watching him carefully go through the East Hallway in Umbrella Mansion on a dark, rainy night.
The dog jumped in the window, and we were so scared, I cannot even remember if he actually killed the dog. That IS the defining moment of the entire Survival Horror genre. Bar none. There can be scarier (maybe), but the sheer horror of having that happen when no other game was that scary at the time (D was/is close, though) was truly intense.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
