Survival Horror taking off


After Resident Evil named the genre it spawned a new era in survival horror games of which some refer to as the Resident Evil clones. This was mainly because it was such a successful method to creating a frightening environment. Some examples of these are:

Parasite Eve 1 & 2 Squaresoft 1998 & 1999


 The Note 1997 Team Bughouse




 Clock Tower 2 by Human Entertainment 

 Resident Evil 2 by Capcom in 1998 was the biggest selling of the Resident Evil franchise until it was finally outsold by Resident Evil 5 in 2009



 Many more followed such as:

  • · Blue Stinger – 1999 Climax graphics
  • · Galerians – 1999 Polygon Magic
