(played as jill)
awesome game!!! very fun puzzle solving, great audio design and beautiful pre-rendered visuals make RE1 an absolute treat. story is engaging the whole way through, the voice acting is great in an endearing sort of way but the localized text is genuinely great, i love reading all the lab reports and such. the item management can be a little difficult sometimes, i'd often go out of my way to put away certain weapons and key items only to realize i needed them 3 rooms ahead from where i was. (not entirely sure how much of this is my fault!) i think it's cool that this is basically just a sierra/lucasarts style adventure game with combat. remains to be seen if i will do a chris run... excited to check out re2!

That's awesome that you enjoyed it. I have a lot of fondness for the original trilogy and I worry they're lost to new audiences due to being so antiquated.
Well, I can certainly understand the sentiment that elements of older games are timeless or should be viewed less critically due to limitations that are no fault of their own. However, the fact that games keep evolving and adding quality of life improvements or change with the culture is rather welcome to me. Take something like the original NES games that had difficulty artificially ramped up to prolong their shelf life at home. I wouldnt even want to consider playing a game like that without save states. Or even RE, for example. I dont mind tank controls, but if the newer alternate version is there, like the remake, I'm going to pick that every time.
finished around the same time as you and had the same exact feelings about the game as you, from leaving key items to the Sierra style vibe. Think I'll finally get around to doing the Jill playthrough, Chris felt way more tight with no rocket launcher and 6 inventory spaces
