Resident Evil, known as Biohazard (バイオハザード) in Japan, is the first in a long line of survival horror games developed and published by Capcom. It was ported to the Sega Saturn by Nextech in 1997, with some members of Sega's team. Nextech would later return to develop Resident Evil CODE:Veronica for Capcom, and consequently were involved in the production of each of its spinoff games and ports.

Story

The year is 1998. Quiet mid-western town of Raccoon City is experiencing a wave of violence that has never been seen since the city's establishment. Horribly mutilated bodies are found around the city, with autopsies reveal that they were bitten and clawed. Baffled with the amount of violence and method of murders, Raccoon City Police Department authorizes Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) to investigate and neutralize the threat.

Seeking a lead, S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team is sent to the nearby Arklay Mountains and soon after, contact is lost. Worried about their compatriots, Alpha Team is also head to the mountains and soon after they are attacked by a pack of seemingly rapid dogs. Already losing one of their members and their helicopter pilot leaving them to their fate, team barely makes it to the nearby mansion.

Cut off from the outside and no chance of calling help, what's left of the Alpha team must survive the horrors waiting for them in the mansion.

History

Development

The Saturn port of Resident Evil stems not just from an earlier PlayStation version, but an unreleased upgrade called Biohazard Dash, which would have featured minor tweaks and alterations to the game[7]. The Saturn port was revealed at a special conference on 17th February 1997, alongside the PlayStation announcement of Biohazard 2[7].

Versions

The Saturn version includes an extra "battle mode" option, not present in other ports of the game, which has the player attempt to survive through rooms of monsters with both limited ammo and limited time. The Sega Saturn Port also includes a few extra enemy encounters such as a Second T-002 Tyrant that breaks out directly after the one Wesker releases. It also features a model edit of the Hunter known as the "Tick". Battle Mode has a special "Gold Tyrant" used for the boss.
