I spent the last week roaming the Spencer Mansion and I'm here to tell you not to sleep on the new GOG release of 1996's Resident Evil

Chris Redfield fights a zombie in 1996's Resident Evil.

As part of PC Gamer's eternal quest to provide you with the latest videogame news and most up-to-date information, I'm here to tell you that you really shouldn't sleep on Resident Evil 1 (1996). I know, I know, you're welcome. While you're here, be sure to check out Quake 3: Team Arena—the next great sequel in the popular Quake franchise—and "Pong". It's like tennis on your television screen!

To be more specific, I mean that I've found myself actually, truly impressed by RE1's first digital release over on GOG, and if you've not played the game for fear of some kind of incredibly janky and outdated experience, you should put those fears aside. In all the ways that matter, anyway. It is still a game from 1996, after all.
