Very unique gameplay: You have to help a spider to escape a base by interacting with the environnement. Example, by opening/closing door in front of it, activate moving platforms etc... I only played the demo, it was a great memories

A heavily underrated puzzle game where you guide an AI creature as best you can through a death labyrinth. It does require patience as the little guy can't be controlled directly, but "learns" through trial and error, similar to many AI trainers you see playing video games and whatnot today. You control the various switches, levers, and trap components on the game map while it navigates through the areas. It was considered one of the first games to have a learning AI, alongside the virtual pet game "Creatures".

Resident EvilResident Evil is a survival horror classic in which a group of special forces agents, known as S.T.A.R.S, struggle against hordes of zombies and various other mutants in a mysterious mansion as they try to uncover the truth behind the terrifying infection. The gameplay environment consists of polygonal 3D characters placed over pre-rendered 2D backgrounds. As such, the game relies on pre-determined camera angles for a view of the action instead of a real-time camera like most games. The game is credited for coining the phrase "survival horror" and popularizing the genre.

The PC and Dreamcast versions includes all eight of Jill's possible costumes, as well as the mercenary mini-game Operation Mad Jackal which allows you to play as one of the three Umbrella soldiers. On the Playstation version, these special features must be unlocked by beating the game with a high score.

Resident Evil Code: Veronica

Resident Evil Code: VeronicaResident Evil Code: Veronica is the fourth video game in Capcom's Resident Evil survival horror series. The game continues the survival horror gameplay of its predecessors: the protagonist explores the surroundings, fighting monsters and solving puzzles. However, it is the first game in the series to do away with pre-rendered backgrounds using a fully polygonal 3D engine instead, which allows for features such as real-time lighting and camera movement. Still, such movements are only used sparingly, and the use of perspective is mostly unchanged from earlier installments: the camera automatically switches to different static angles showing protagonists, monsters and rooms from different spooky viewpoints.
