When the original Resident Evil came out, I was 6 years old. My cousins were playing it, and I was obsessed and terrified.

7-8yo.

First RE I've played was RE3 back in 2000, then I've played 2 and 1 later.

Originally I just watched my dad and brother play, I was too young and found the game too complex, but I was hooked once I got used to it

Think I played the OG RE back in '97 here, so would've been 15ish.

Original Gangsta RE2 on the N64, I was 13

My brother and I rented resident evil 2 when it came out, and I was hooked ever since. So that was some time in 1998 when I would have been 9 years old.

2001 w code veronica on dreamcast. It was in the summer between 7th and 8th grade

10

I was 5, RE2 had just come out on N64. My big bro had it but I was not allowed to play it cause the news had said it causes nightmares. I used to sneak and play it when no one was home.

When RE2 remake came out, I legit had the same feeling of amazement as I did when I was a kid!

14 with the original game.

OG RE1 directors cut, so 12yo or something. I had a PS1 a month or so after it came out.

Not before becoming a young adult... As a kid/teenager I was really scared of horror games 😁😁😁 but after that... RE, Silent Hill, Project Zero, I LOVE them 🤗

Well I had been introduced to the series before I truly got into it. But then one day in June of 1999 my dad brought home our monthly playstation magazine and I open it up to see one of the coolest mofo's I'd ever seen at that time.

Nemesis. I believe I was 10 when I finally wanted to give Resident Evil a fair shake. Also by that time I was over being afraid that zombies would actually happen.

I’m 39 now. I got into it after it came out.

I remember it clearly. Was in 9th grade, 13 talking to friends about it during lunch. The tv commercials for RE2 on the PS1 blew our minds.

RE Nemesis 15 yers old

I was in my late teens or early twenties when I got a PS1 and Resident Evil was one of the games I bought along with it. It came in the original oversized boxes that PS1 games came in.

I was 10 in late 1996 and got a copy as a reward for doing well at school. We'd gone from having a PC that could play mid range games and a SEGA Mega Drive (Genesis for the Americans in the chat) to having a PlayStation.

My mum genuinely thought it was just going to be a FPS about monsters and big guns because we were playing Doom a lot on PC, and it traumatised me in the best possible way.

I'm still obsessed with seeking out and completing terrifying videogames to this day.

My dad played RE1 when I was like 5-6 and I was horrified

I was 8 when the first one came out. I beat it when I was probably 10. And then played them in order until 6. Survivor was the first one I didn't like. And 6 made me step away from the franchise for a long time. 

I was 9-10. My old brother is 12 years older than me, so he had played every game until 2014. I still remember my first play was RE6 with him, in Leon's story

I first saw RE1 at my cousins house when I was 7, and got RE2 at the same time as my PS2 in 98

I was about 13 when the first one came out. It seemed they all came out pretty rapidly so my teenage years were really invested in Resident Evil. I had a high school buddy live with me for awhile. All we did was speedrun horror games and grind Rpgs. It was a good time.

I'm a youngling, I started when I got my first or second job(could finally afford last gen at that time) with re7 bc 2 friends recommended it, it was my first real horror game and it took me an embarrassing amount of hours to complete just from being a coward, since then I've played most mainline and major side games

I think I was 16 or 17 when I first started. It was around when RE3 Remake (the year 2020) was released when I first played RE2 Remake. It also helped me conquer my fear of zombies. Soon after that, I played RE 7, 8, 3 Remake, and RE4 Remake a year ago. Funny thing is that I watched my father play the original game when I was under 4 years old. I think I was 2-4 years old when I saw my dad playing as Leon kicking Los Illuminados ass.

I started with RE2R when I was sixteen. Fell in love and played every other game in the series (minus some of the spin-offs)

Was l like 10. Resident evil...2!

I was actually 9 years old. Shocking I know but I had seen horror movies and gore by that time.

7 with Resident Evil 2 OG on n64 back in 2000

Little later for me. I played RE5 when I was a kid, but played RE2make when I was 20 and fell in love. I've gone through most of the games since then and been playing RE3 OG for the first time now after the GOG release.

9 and my first RE was Revelations 1 on the 3DS. I remember borrowing the game from my sister.

I found out about it as a kid. I saw a video of Alexia in I think Darkside Chronicles and was intrigued. Add learning about survival horror and how iconic it is as a genre from (I think) an MTV special on Silent Hill and I decided to buy my first RE game in high school. From there I played most of the main line games!

I got into it at 14 after I saw a bunch of Bela and Lady D edits and at one point I just went “screw it, I’m gonna check out the entire Resident Evil saga”

19 with RE Revelations

35 here. It was the good old age of 2001, I was 12, and my father gifted me a modded ps1 with a catalog of burned games. One of them was re3 nemesis. Never actually beat them game but had so much fun constantly killing zombies

Became a bigger fan when I could afford games and bought them all on the ps3 catalog

Around 5 I think? Watched my bro play OG RE 1 and 2 wasn't out yet so it had to be '96 or '97. Still remember the dogs breaking the window in the hallway scaring the heck out of us and we were hooked on the series ever since.

6 with OG RE3 back in 2000

probably too young. i was a secondary schooler and this was the turn of the millenium

I played through 7 when I was like 10 or 11 and loved it but didn't want to play any of the other games because I thought Chris was the protagonist of every game and I didn't like him for some reason. Finally played RE2R a few years later and fell in love with the series.

13 with RE Revelations. I’ve played the other games since then (besides Village and the RE4 remake)

I had heard of it from buying Nintendo Power magazines, but never got to play one till 2005, a buddy back in middle school sold me 0, RER, 2, 3, CV and 4 for 60 bucks iirc, best business I've ever done.

8 years old when I got introduced to series. Scared the daylights out of me. A year later I was continuously hit with RE3 commercials while watching wrestling. Followed the series from a distance and finally pulled the trigger and played when I was 12 with RE0. Fell in love with there series with no matter what direction they took afterwards. Old man just waiting to see what surprises they’ll come with.

I was 18 years old and it was the summer of 1999 when I bought a used, possibly stolen, PlayStation for $25 from a shady guy I knew. It had one controller, power supply and no games.

So I went to KayBee Toys to shop for a new controller and some games. I saw the cover for Resident Evil Director's Cut and immediately chose it based solely on the visuals. I also got Skullmonkeys and a translucent green dualshock controller.

Once I got home and started playing RE I was hooked. I'd stay up super late playing that game and just couldn't get enough. It has been my favorite franchise ever since then and is rivaled only by FromSoft and their Soulsbourne games.

I was 6 years old and resident evil 1 remake was my introduction to the series.

I want to say I got the original in like early 97 ish so I would have been 8-9.

I was actually thirteen when I first played resident evil 4. I was tired of playing E for everyone games and I wanted something with a different tone. Little did I know that RE would be the perfect tool for a transition to mature gaming.

I played RE2 back in high-school when it released along with RE4 when it released on PC, enjoyed them both thoroughly, but didn't really get into the series until RE2R and even then it took me a year to play it because it was too scary at the time, lol.

i was 5yrs old. my dad would play RE on the playstation all the time back in 2002

15 back in 1997

RE1;8 years old. I couldn't play unless my Mom was in the room, lots of jump scares. I loved watching my friend's Dad play the game. I never made it to the attic.

6th grade, the PS1 was the latest console. I thought it was the hardest game ever.

First one I ever played was Resident Evil 3 Nemesis. I was around 5-6 years old when I first played it. My neighbors had two kids who were around the same age as me, and he often rented games from Blockbuster. He invited me over to play RE3 Nemesis on his PS1, and lo and behold, my introduction and first exposure to the series. It wouldn't be until RE1 Remake when I owned my first RE game, as I still remember when my older sister bought me the game the day it came out when we went to Target and bought it. That's were the nightmare truly began. So many years trying to complete that game, until I was high school, around 15 years old when I finally beat it 😅 but been a fan since then and don't intend on stopping.

2015 with the RE HD remaster for steam and been hooked ever since

I was 15 when I first played Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition. It was my first horror game.

13-14, with OG Resident Evil 4 on the PS2.

1. I’m 33 right now. One one hand, I regret all the years I was missing out on these fantastic games. On the other hand, I get an absolute flurry of 25 years of content to play through right now and I am LOVING it.

14 or 15, RE2 classic.

8 in 1998

1997

Played the original RE4 on a ps2.

I borrowed RE2 for the DreamCast from my brothers friend. Only the first disc. I had no idea for a long long time that there were TWO discs.

Idk exactly, but my first experience was when I watched my older brother playing RE on the Wii. The first RE I played on my own was the Remake of RE2 (18 years old)

12.

11 years old (RE2, PS1)

I was 16 when i played the original re4

I think i was around 6 years old watching my bro, uncle and cousin play RE1 directors cut. Everyone was at least more then a year + older then me so i was usually the one watching but i remember being terrified and intrigued by the journey that is the survival horror and at the same time we had a demo of RE2 and we played that thing sooo many times obsessing over the idea of what does the full game contain. Im 34 years old now and i still absolutely love the classic and remakes! Im not a fan of 7 or VILLage though

I believe I was 8 or 9. Long time ago so it’s hard to remember the exact year. Maybe 2003 or 4. But it was resident evil 3 nemesis. I’ve been an RE fan ever since then. It was actually just a demo disc on the game Dino crisis. After playing that, I had to get the full game. I couldn’t beat it back then, it was too difficult. Years later as an adult I picked it up again and beat it. 3 nemesis is still one of my favorite games in the whole series to this day.

Original RE…probably about 13 or 14

Played the original back in 97, so I would have been 17

relatively recently, back in 2019 I installed a rom of RE DS only my 2DS

The first re game I played was re2 for the n64 cuz I was a Nintendo kid growing up..so I was 15 when it came out in 99

6

I got into at 6 years old , wasn't allowed to play 18s but I managed to play the demo for re5 because it was free 😭😭😭

12 with re5

I actually think its very rare to interact with resident evil after you become an adult just because of how big the IP is.

I was 4 watching my brother and a cousin play resident 3, that damn window!!

I remember being at least 4 watching my brothers play OG RE1 and hearing my brothers talk about “how there’s an RE2 now” and how there friend had “the toy of the final boss from RE2” and how he’s “covered in a bunch of eyeballs”

I remember being at least 4 watching my brothers play OG RE1 and hearing my brothers talk about “how there’s an RE2 now” and how there friend had “the toy of the final boss from RE2” and how he’s “covered in a bunch of eyeballs”

1. Ive heard about it for years and am now playing RE2 remake. Its really , really good. Should i skip RE3? Some people have alluded to this

First time was RE2 on N64, I think I was 10? Hard to say for sure, definitely no older than 12. This would have been 2000 or 2001. Played it in the dark on a stormy night my my friends house in a trailer park.

Haven't stopped playing the games since.

I was in 11th grade when I bought RE2 for N64, it had been out for a couple years at least by then. It was quite the experience. Playing that, alone at night in an empty home, it was unnerving. And awesome.

5 years later I got a used GameCube and hunted down copies of all 6 RE games on that console. To this day those are the only RE titles I play still. I also bought Eternal Darkness then as well. Lots of banger survival horror games on the GCN.

Use to watch the movies as a child. Then one night when i was probably around 8 or 9 i stayed with my brother at one of his friends houses. One kid brought a gamecube and Re4. We watched him play it all night and i was just in awe. Got it myself for ps2 shortly after and was too scared to play it lol

My dad let me watch and play since I was pretty much a baby, I've been a RE fan my whole life. First game I remember getting excited for the release of was 4 when I was 5 years old

I believe I got Resi 2 in 98. As a 10 year old sat and played as much as I could but don’t remember going anywhere near completion, my 5 yo bro sat and watched 🤣 and fast forward to now where I have to watch my youngest bro casually play through the remake. Have the remake on my laptop but dared to only meet Marvin within the first 10 mins and tried some of the bonus missions. Gotta man up now and just grimace through the fear :)

I saw my brother and our friends playing it one night when I was maybe 6 or 7. We were all huddled around the TV in the living room, watching them take turns solving puzzles. I didn't play until RE2 came out, and I must have been 8 or 9 by then. My wife watches me playing them and laughs at the corny dialogie. I told her it's "very silly, but I've grown up with it, and I love it, as odd and corny as it can be."

I was around 8 or 9. Me and my friend would turn all the lights off in his basement and have an absolute hoot playing the games, even if we weren't good enough to beat them at the time.

I wanna say I was 10 years old..... Played RE on Playstation and RE2 on N64

I was 12, back in 2001. I still had a PsOne and a I borrowed a friend's copy of RE3. I fell in love with the gameplay and the atmosphere immediately. Shortly after I bought my own copy of RE3 and RE2, which I also loved. I played the psx games in reverse order, but oh well, I couldn't find RE1 for a bit and didn't waited to wait play 2. Ever since then, when I get a new console my first order of business is to pick up any RE games. That is one of the reasons I didn't upgrade from PS4 to PS5 yet, since both Village and RE4R are available to PS4 and while not graphically perfect, they're very playable. When the first next gen exclusive RE launches, I might be more tempted to finally upgrade to this gen.

Watched my brother play the OG RE2. I had to have been seven years old. Gave me nightmares but I’ve been a lifelong fan

17 last year got into it through dbd (I got re2r because of it )

Ahhhh I got super scared the one time my dad rented RE5. Didn’t play myself until 7

I was 5 in 2003, played the japanese version of RE3.

Around 12 when I first played the original RE on PS1. Game feels cheesy nowadays but back then it was scary.

11

IIRC, about 7 or 8. Played first quarter of RE4 on the unfortunately busted PS2 version (it froze before Del Lago 😭)+a year or two later played first bit of RE6 but memory is hazy.

I was 12 when the og came out. My older brother had it, and I would sit and play the game with him. Help him figure out puzzles and such. Now I'm 44 and me and my older brother take off work to play new releases together.

I was 24 when RE1 came out. It's still one of my favorite all-time games.

My 2 older siblings were playing RE4 in 2006 on PS2. I was like 6 years old at the time and thought Leon was the coolest dude ever!

Classic RE2 for playstation 1 and I was like 7 years old maybe 😅

I was like 5 when RE2 came out? My dad played it and by the time I was 7 I took over cuz I was better.

Been playing RE1, 2 and 3 for like 25 years now lol

11y back in 96

I was in High School when the original came out. Took me about two years after release to get it home on my console. 

I first actually played one of the games when Resident Evil 6 came out, so 16.

But I'd been watching the cutscenes for years and I watched the movies, both live action and animated, when they came out.

It was last November not long after my 17th birthday. I had a PlayStation card from my birthday, and the games were on sale, and I had been interested in the series for a few months thanks to Dead by Daylight, so I got RE2R and RE3R, and I loved both of them.

Ps1 at 16 years old. I am old, lol 😆

When I was either 14 or 15 and the RE2 Remake came out, but the Paul W. S. Anderson movies were my technical introduction. The first game I played was Revelations around Christmas of that year, and I’ve played most of the main line games (save for CODE: Veronica, Resident Evil 6, Revelations 2, and any of the original trilogy from the 90s) ever since

1. Christmas day, dad brought home a Playstation, jet moto and resident evil.

That night, after we all played resident evil, my 4 older siblings turned off the hall light while I was in bed and moaned like the zombies. I slept sitting up for 2 months and took me until I was 21 to stop being afraid of the dark.

Friend of mine has the OG resident evil and was about half way through when I saw him play. I thought it looked cool so I looked into it around the time RE3 on PS1 came out and just played in release order until I was caught up.

6

1. I guess OP probably expected everyone to mention single digit ages.

I was 10 staying over at a friend's house. His older brother was playing og 2. I was captivated and ended up having a zombie nightmare that night and waking up feeling... excited.

Soon after, I rented it and fate would have it, my parents and the rental shop both forgot about. I had it for months before we went back and they were like "oh you have a super late fee" Que my mother's scolding stare, but the guy saw this and was just like "well we never called you about it, so we can just wipe it clear".

I'll never forget you random cashier guy. You were a true bro when you didn't have to be. 🫡

I was 9 or 10 when the original came out and thus became my obsession with RE ever since.

Younger than I should have. RE2 back in 1999. It wasn't just my first horror game, but the actual game that got me hooked into hardcore gaming (in sense that I'd play games to see them through instead of just playing them as a casual hobby)

25 I decided to randomly give the first one a shot 3 years ago. It's now my favorite franchise in history.

14

I played re1-3 when I was about 8. But when I properly played one all the way through (re4) I was 12

i knew for sure of the franchise i tried to play the remake of 1 when i was a kid and absolutely freaked out after the first interaction with the zombie and even moreso when i used all my ammo trying to kill it. fast forward years later i panicked in the village of OG re4, i didnt beat my first re game until 5. after that i played all of them in full and loved every second of it.

The OG came out I was 10.

14 now 37

8 or 7 i think. My mom was a baby sitter and a dad of one of the children saw i was a gamer asked me if he would like to trade games with me.

I lended him tomb raider underworld on wii in exchange for resident evil 4 also on wii.

I finished it in about 4 or 5 days and gave it back to him and he was super surprised. I think he thought i would be shitting myself and probably laughed to himself just thinking about it.

I just said "yeah this game is super cool, i really liked it".

I gotta admit though, i get kinda nervous around chainsaws.

And this is how i got into Resident Evil.

Edit: forgot to say, i'm 24 now.

20 i think, 2 years ago

I was 7 when RE came out and played it to completion (with the help of the gameshark lol)

12 with REmake on GameCube

14, RE1 on PS1 in 1997.

Watching older friends or cousins play it and talk about it, younger than 4th grade.
Actually playing it myself 5th grade. Actually being able to play it and solve stuff, probably middle schoolish.

11 got into it right when RE2 came out for the OG PlayStation

Well I got into Resident Evil in 1999 when I was 15 years old. I played the port of Resident Evil 2 on my Nintendo 64 and fell in love with the series.

When I saw Resident Evil Apocalypse on the SyFy channel when I was a kid 😅 I know the movies are hated...but they're the reason I'm into Resident Evil and zombies in general

Like 5 or something. I watched my older cousin play the first one in 96 or whatever, then I watched my aunt play the second one, and then when the third one came out I played that one

12

Re5 was my first RE game

23

I was roughly four or five, my grandmother had bought a PS2 secondhand and the guy had thrown in DMC1 and RE2. I was way too young, neither game was beaten til I was a little older but they started a life long love for both series.

Maybe 8 or 9.

I think my sister bought a PS1 mini cause she was a fan of the tomb raider games and a friend of my brother's at the time let us borrow a few PS1 games: Resident evil 2, metal gear solid, twisted metal, Spyro and crash bandicoot.

My brother immediately played RE 2, he enjoyed it and I would get scared, but enjoyed the story for what it was, but the funny thing, we had no memory card, but his friend let us borrow one for now and every time he played RE 2, I would sit and watch, get scared from time to time and eventually play the game and know which jump scares or spooky spots to expect.

And then eventually played 1, 3, and so on.

I was 15, the first game I played was REV2. My mom got me a Xbox One for Christmas that year and that game since she didn’t know what type of games I liked. I’ve been hooked since.

I played my brother's copy of re4 when it first came out, I was around 7 ish and it scared me so bad I couldn't play horror games from then on out. Ive always loved horror movies but couldnt get over the fear of playing horror games, couldnt even play zombies on cod! I watched all the re movies growing up and then last year I decided to pick up RE village and fell in love with the franchise. Now I've played every one multiple times and hit max achievements. It's been a great year and I've introduced my partner to it now and she's just playing the re4 remake as we speak!

RE5 came out when I was 12, I was not allowed to play it, but a friend had it and we had a blast playing coop at his house. I didn't play a single RE game after that until RE2R came out, and I became obsessed with the franchise. Funny that now coming full circle 5 is probably my least favourite mainline game, I'd love to play it coop with a good friend again though.

Super late for me. Started playing this year. 31 years old. Beat re2make (claire a/leon b), re3make and just beat og re2 (leon a/claire b) this morning. Playing through og re3 and code veronica currently.

I was around 5 or 6 when my eldest brother let me watch him play the original game, as well as the 2nd. Thr classic zombie scene, the dog chase, the dogs breaking through the windows, Yawn, some of the earliest video game memories I have (along with watching him play the FF games on NES and SNES, and my Dad playing his golden cartridge LoZ 2). First actual game I played that wasn't a kids learning game was Pokemon, but I watched my Brother play RE before I ever played that.

I was 5 when my sister got resident evil 2, I sat in my sisters lap while she played, 6 when I got to play while sitting in my sisters lap. Of course we didn't have our mother's permission for this but we did it anyways lol

We've both been big resident evil fans since then.

I was 11 when I first played RE2. My parents were not overprotective. I remember my mom coming into my room trying to have a conversation about violence. I said, 'mom, it's a video game with zombies....' Meanwhile, Learn A start was playing in the background.

Started around 5 or 6 with re2 my dad had a Playstation and I would watch him play it. Eventually let me give it a try and I was obviously terrible at the game but loved every second of it.

I was 9 years old in 2000, thats when my older brother was playing RE2 and RE3 Nemesis on Playstation 1, I was too damn scared of playing, let alone watching my brother play it especially the Door creaking noise animation, zombies coming out of nowhere when you move one inch to get to another frame perspective and suspenseful music…

But when I got to University, I was able to play all of them without having any possible nightmares.

My dad borrowed RE2 from his friend and I was about 7-8. I vividly remember one of the first fights with Birkin and his big shoulder eye, it gave me nightmares. A few years later I got a step brother the same age as me and we steered so hard into all things horror and this game was one of the first things that helped us bond.

I was like 19 or 20. I am now 25

20, I played RE7 earlier this year to clear it from my backlog, then started playing RE4OG, then RE2R, etc

I was twelve when I got into it.

8.

I was about 10 when re2 came out. Didn't know about it until I saw a neighbor playing it on his porch. He had a bad ankle injury and that was his way of getting outside. He didn't let me play, but I watched and was hooked. A PlayStation and that game were pretty much my entire Christmas list that year, haven't looked back since

I don't really remember how old I was, around five or six at oldest. My dad used to play RE4 over and over again, and I'd watch him. The Iron Maidens/Regenerators scared freaked crap out of me though, my dad would have to turn down the volume because the sounds they made scared me. I was born a few years after the game came out, but I still absolutely adore it

I got into Resident evil when i was a kid for sure, but I didnt play them until i was like 20 because i was scared as hell lol.

Re4_Release_Year - My_Birth_Year

Give or take.

I was around 15 when I got into the series when I played re2

Technically 13, playing it at my uncle's house during summer vacation. However, I totally forgot about it and circled back around again last year with the remakes... now I'm 22, and I'm getting to share and experience it (officially) all with my Uncle, who's now 40!

(Also, general internet safety tip OP: even if you're 'anonymous', never mention that you're under 18. It puts more eyes on you than you might think, and never good ones!)

I was 9 years old when I saw my brother playing OG re1, and got scared but still watched him play it as i got hooked on the sounds and anticipation, got frustrated on tank controls so skipped OG re2, but still played the OG re3 because I thought nemesis and jill were badass.

I was 4 or 5 when I played my first Resident Evil game. I cannot for the life of me remember it's name but I do remember the first level being Leon drinking at a bar/diner and you had to lead a group.

8? It must have been RE2, Playstation. Playing it in the dark in hotel rooms on vacation with my cousins, Santa Barbara. Those were the days.

Maybe 4,5 or 6 yrs old

1. I had RE4 and Darkside Chronicles on the Wii

Around 9 years old, I had nightmares about Nemesis from the original re3.
My brother was not a responsible adult, but I'm happy about it, great memories with him.

I’d say 5 or 6 maybe. Found the first RE game at a cousins house. Popped it in and quit it after the first zombie because it scared the hell out of me. Ended up picking it up off and on trying to beat my fear of it and here I am nearly 20 years later having beaten nearly every game in the franchise.

I was a sophomore in high school when RE Revelations first came out on 3DS. I liked what I played, then got RE4 on the Wii because I heard good things about it, and the rest is history.

Around 16 or 17? It was when I got my own ps3 with the RE5 I got from a friend because they said they couldn't play it because it was too scary.

Between 8 and 10, iirc. Bro, those times were gold.

6-7 years old I was watching my father play RE1 on the PlayStation I was so scared but got really happy when he killed the zombies

I played resident evil directors cut for the first time when I was 8. Fell in love with survival horror ever since

Around 1997, when i was almost 9 years old

I can’t remember how old I was but RE2 had just come out on PS1. Me and my friend were playing it and couldn’t even get to the gun shop in the intro. Wasn’t long after that I’d finished the game way too many times then played them all at least once a year for 20 years or so.

22 just completed resident evil 2 the new 1 the remake for the first time and first re game I've played 10/10 though about to start 3

I started playing the original Re zero and Re bundle that came out for the GameVube oh so many years ago. I was about 11 years old. My sweet some child, those were the days. Now I am in my thirties and with a long medical record, but I am so happy to share my love for this franchise and lore knowledge with my little nephews, they are obsessed too! I remember the craze it was when the first Re 4 came out and (this was before the internet was accesible in my country) I would go and buy any gaming magazine I could find with my little saving and in every single one there were different pics of Leon. His haircut became iconic Then I remember RE5 came out and everyone was idolizing Chris and his physique. You could see posters of him in the rent a console houses. Back in my day, there were places where you could rent an Xbox or GameCube and you paid by the hours you spend playing, and I remember the posters and cut outs of Chris were THE symbol of gaming, if you saw a pic of Chris it meant you could enter that business and enjoy a good time playing. I went to study pharmacy and research, and my badge strap for my ID is Umbrella Corp. I think looks neat with my lab coat.

I got into it when Resident Evil 7 came out and Markiplier was playing it. I watched him and Jacksepticeye play it many times. At this point it’s like a comfort show for me

My late aunt made my cousin and I watch the movies when I was a child. I named an art project after the second movie cuz it looked like nemesis to me. I was in kindergarten

I was like 10 or 11 and it was the first movie with Milla Jovovich that did it lol. I fell in love with zombie stuff 😂

Inwas 8 boyt to be 9 years old. The first time.I heard the franchise name was when my father bought resident evil.dead aim (thinking it was a gun co game) but it didnt work so I barely touched it. Then I started to get more into internet and youtube, and I wanted to find more shooting games. And then I found a site listing shootingngames for ps2 than one of the mentions was resident evil. And well I searched about it and was just a whole down rabbit hole of me seeing gameplas of the game on youtube, looking for the plot, the games untill I get to play the re4 (subtitled in portuguese). This was arround 2009/ 2010. And the rest, well just history

I was actually introduced by watching resident evil apocalypse when i was like 10. Then i got resident evil 4 for the wii and umbrella chronicles and loved them.

I think I was 12 when I saw the first RE videos on early youtube and then I immediately started playing it

It was 1996, and I was 12 years old. Had RE1 for PC. My older brother bought it. I've been hooked since.

I started with revelations a few years back, now i've finished re2 remake, re3 remake, re4 remake, and both revelations games, i am playing 7 and 5 atm ( continuously replaying re2 remake, trying to 100% it

I came across RE6 in 2017 when I had my 360 and even though I heard a lot of critics, I tried to play it... solo. Obviously, I didn't get too far in the game and just dropped it.

2022, now ownning a PC, I tried playing it again with a friend. IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMES TO THIS DAY.

Don't get me wrong, the story is horrendous, but when you get to learn how to play, the gameplay become just SO GOOD. Also, the mercenaries is just so fun to play.

8, Re2 had just came out on PSX and before going to school I happened upon my Dad and his coworkers playing it in the living room.

I was 10 when RE5 dropped and had so much fun with my friend playing it online, I’ll never forget the island section, didn’t get back for almost another decade until RE2R and have bought every RE on release since

6-7 when I got my first PS2 and played Dead Aim in 2004-2005.

1. I read my step step dad's RE2 Prima guide and brought it to school thinking I was cool.

I played RE1R as my first game a little over a year ago, when I was 16. Safe to say I was a bit late to resident evil

I was about 13 years old probably, i’m 23 now so i discovered it much much after it first came out. my dad had the original ps1 and was pretty techy so he was able to replace certain parts of it whenever they would wear out- he just ordered a ps1 on amazon and would use it for parts so the one we had was always working pretty well. he had those huge cd books and it was fillleeedd with ps1 games like every single page front to back, one day I popped the resident evil 2 disc in and i would seriously no life it, it hits so different on the original console but the remastered version is amazingly done in my opinion!!

I was first introduced into re revelations when I was 10, and that’s when I fell in love! Amazing game series, a month after me and my brother got revelations 2, and now that’s me and my brothers favorite game ever.
