About This Game
Originally a PlayStation title, this N64 version was a technical marvel - compressing the entire game (including full-motion videos) onto a 64MB cartridge without compromising the atmospheric horror experience.
Introduces randomized item placement and enemy encounters for increased replayability, along with the 'EX Files' that expand the Resident Evil lore with documents only available after completing scenarios.
Features two distinct campaigns (Leon A/Claire B or Claire A/Leon B) with interconnected stories, multiple endings, and the terrifying Tyrant enemy that stalks players throughout the game.
Considered one of the best N64 ports despite hardware limitations, praised for maintaining the original's tension while adding exclusive content.
