Just post some of your fondest memories with the series.

I had a friend come over and sat him down in front of our old big screen TV, my dad was asleep because he works nightshifts, and we thought it was a bright idea to go ahead and play some Resident Evil 0. Before the game could even start what my friend put off as a manly man who could take Survival Horror began screaming like a school girl getting chased by a boy in a game of tag in the playground. And the boy has a gun. With incendiary rounds. Anyway we found ourselves playing chess outside faster than our brains could register. It was worth it.

Hmm, cool idea for a post.

Well I remember 2 memories of Resident Evil.

The first one was when I first watched the first Paul WS RE movie. Back then you could steal cable so it was on Payperview all the time, and my brother and I decided to watch it. At night o.0.

I must have been like 7-9 years old and I remember where we lived it was really dark, and there was a long passage that went all the way to the entrance of the house, that had no windows or a light so it was pitch black at night. My brother's room was at the back of the house and mine at the front so I asked him after the movie to take me to my room so I wouldn't be so scared going back alone. I remember that creepy ass pitch black passage and imagining a zombie dog at the end of that darkness. I always had a pretty vivid imagination so to me it will always feel like that dog was really there.

My second memory is when I first played Code Veronica, we lived in another place, and I remember saying Wesker's lines from the game and running around pretending to have his powers. I must have been like 10 or younger.

Here I thought this thread was about the fan game Nice idea indeed.

My fondest memories are from the time when I didn't have any of the games myself. Not that I would've even had guts to play them back then. I used to go to my friend's house pretty often after school and watch him play RE2&3 over and over again. He was really good at it too and just flew through the games without saving once. We must not have been even 10 years old. The image of Brad being killed by Nemesis in that epic cutscene has burned itself into my mind. That scene totally scared me.

Another one is when I first got RE4 and was in awe how intelligent the enemies were. I was not used to stuff like that in video games.

I remember the first time watching the movie too. I was so excited to see a movie based on my favorite franchise. What an awesome movie it was.

My first memory of RE is my favorite. Like many, it was 1998 and it involved sitting in my friends room, playing RE Original, amazed by the graphics at the time, the music freaking us out, not knowing what to expect. Then absolutely shitting a brick once we seen that first zombie eating Kenneth, and then getting raped by the zombie as we were too afraid to play. We were kids ffs lol.

Some of my favorite memories was when I first rented RE0 from Blockbuster in 2002. I was in first grade and that game (of course) scared the fuck out of me.

I actually finished Resident Evil 4 before Resident Evil 0. I think it was because I kept getting stuck in 0 after I got past that giant centipede, so I think I actually have more memorable moments with Resident Evil 4. Like the garden labyrinth with the dogs. I remember I could get past it with no trouble when people were watching me, but when I was alone I was scared to turn a corner.

And yeah I thought it was a good idea because I was actually just watching Angry Video Game Nerd and he did Contra: Memories. I was betting that some people here had some interesting stories to spin about their experiences with the series.

Even though I was scared as hell this still made me laugh and it still does. It's just such awful acting.

Poor, poor Josa...

I've had some fond memories of watching people play. I don't really get scarred so much when playing games, just sometimes get those jumpy moments.

But I know I've popped in RE4 and had somebody shoot at the water so that the Del Lago could pop out. I was watching somebody play and they were in the village, where you first meet Dr. Salvador, and at one point, he had his back turned to this chainsaw wielding maniac, and I remember that the dude that I was watching play had like jumped outta his seat, cuz he did the 180 degree turn, and turned right into Salvador as he was screaming and swinging. It was pretty funny.

Likewise, more recently I watched somebody play RE3 and had plenty of "oh shit!" moments with Nemesis.
