If you’ve been itching to play the original 90s version of the game that kicked off the Resident Evil series by introducing us all to just how funny it can be to have a live-action intro that’s so stuck in that decade it might as well be listening to Aqua’s Barbie Girl while playing pick-up ball with prime Michael Jordan, you’re in luck.
The PC port of original Resi from 1996, long something that that’s been tough to get ahold of in a format that allows you to easily play it on a modern PC, with it not being on Steam. Now though, it’s been brought back, by Capcom and a storefront that specialises in, well, good old games.
You can find this original PC version of Resident Evil on GOG.com as of today, with it being available for £8.99 / $9.99. While it has been updated to to ensure it works properly with the Windows 10 and 11 that a lot of today’s PCs use, unless you’re a clever clogs that prefers something like Linux, the tweaks that GOG’s made are designed to be pretty light – i.e you’re not getting a remake that switches up the original experience too much.
