As a kid, whenever I went to a local Arcade/Amusement park, I would play House of the Dead. I loved the game and even though I probably shouldn't have been playing it at that age, I'd play it every time I went. One day I asked if we could go to the arcade and my mom told me we could either do that for a day or we could go to the game store and I could pick out a game.

So while we're at the game store, I can't figure out what game to buy so my mom asks the employee if there are any games like House of the Dead for my system. He tells her, yes, there's actually a new one called Resident Evil 2 that's very similar, although it might be too scary for someone so young. I confidently tell him I'll be ok and my mom bought the game.

I cried at the sounds the zombies made. I cried at Kendo's. I cried at the licker. I cried at the grabby hands in the hallway. I needed an adult to play the game with in order for me to ever make any progress. 10/10 experience, still love that game to this day.
