10 Video Games You Didn't Realise Are Over 20 Years Old

8. Resident Evil

Video Games 90s
Capcom

Resident Evil is a long running franchise that, much like Tomb Raider, has produced some truly great moments (and some pretty awful films), all starting in early 1996, in a mansion somewhere in the mountains.

The original Resident Evil is a jarring experience if you're not ready for it's slow precise speed, but this rhythm is what makes it a classic. Tension and horror build on each other from the moment you encounter your first zombie, then the pre-rendered backgrounds and fixed camera make for some difficult gameplay moments, but age the game exceptionally well.

Even the low quality points are looked upon fondly, with bad voice acting being a unintentionally hilarious highpoint i.e. a 'Jill Sandwich'.
