Annie Hsh 👾🖖☕Today marks the 30th anniversary of the first 'Resident Evil' game, released in Japan as 'Biohazard' (バイオハザード, Baiohazādo) back in 1996. The first in a series that still keeps going and evolving for 3 decades, it (re)defined the survival horror genre and the Playstation as a console. Drawing inspiration from titles like 'Alone in the Dark' and 'Sweet Home', and of course from George Romero's zombie films. The games, and the characters, have come a long way through the years, through remakes and sequels, and it's no coincidence they remain so popular today.
That said, nothing beats the uber-cheesy campiness and the so-bad-it's-good acting of the original. Lines like: "You were almost a Jill sandwich!" and "It's a weapon! It's really powerful, especially against living things!" just cannot be replicated. The infamous zombie dog jump scare scene in the hallway, the door opening loading screens, and the overall tank gameplay that many of us experienced even though we were too young to play this game, but did so anyway. Happy 30th RE!

* enable developer options
* confirm that you are not tricked
* restart phone and re-authenticate
* wait one day
* confirm with biometrics that you know what you are doing
* decide if you only want unrestricted installs for 1 week or forever
* confirm that you accept the risks
* enjoy the few apps that still have developers motivated to develop for a user-base willing to put up with this
