![]() ![]() ![]() Many elements from this game-the mansion setting, mystery solving and regular threats to fight or evade-appeared in the hugely successful later Resident Evil series. Special mention must be given to Sweet Home (1989), the Japanese role-playing game based on the horror film of the same name and released for the Nintendo, as a forerunner to the survival horror genre. This list largely consists of point-and-click games that were mostly designed for MS-DOS and/or Microsoft Windows. This was something of a rarity in the horror video gaming universe when Silent Hill was released, with earlier examples including: Dark Seed (1992) System Shock (1994) Dark Seed II (1995) I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream (1995) Phantasmagoria (1995) Sanitarium (1998) Resident Evil (1996) Dino Crisis (1999) and System Shock 2 (1999). Gamers were captivated by the mystery of the character-driven and convoluted story within the prologue. With these cryptic words, accompanied by the first rattling notes of the haunting theme song from Akira Yamaoka, fans of horror video gaming knew that Silent Hill (1999) was something special. “The fear of blood tends to create fear of the flesh.”
