Since we’re sharing heartfelt resident evil stories: RE2 was my first game too. Brother bought it after we saw the commercials. Remember that giant crocodile?? Died like 20 times trying to grasp the controls but eventually got it. Anyway, the game was full of so much lore and reading with all the diaries and notes referring to the events of RE1.
Oddly, you couldn’t find RE1 in stores at all. Then one day, we found a used long box copy for PlayStation on a family vacation. On the way home, I read the game manual cover to cover. In my mind, I had tried to imagine what the first game was like based on part 2.
Anyway, I loved every moment of it. Felt like it brought everything together nicely. That’s the magic of being a child and being able to sink into a fantasy zombie world.
