I know, I know, calling the PlayStation “retro” is up for debate, but a few months ago I decided to make it official: the original PlayStation and the Nintendo 64 are retro consoles in my mind. I can’t really explain the reasoning behind that decision, but that is the way it is going to be in my dolphin, rainbow, butterfly-filled universe. I hope you can respect that.
This week’s quiz is all about original scare-fest, Resident Evil for the PlayStation. And all you manly types, don’t try to lie: You know you screamed like a little girl when that damn dog jumped through the window.
How well do you remember this classic game that jump started the survival horror revolution? Are you confident enough to face the zombies of trivia? Just leave your answers in the comments and check my community blog tomorrow (1/24) to see how you did.
Here, take this knife for protection. You’re going to need it. Good luck!
