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 Evil
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 game boasts a hefty amount of unlockable material such as artworks, notes, trivia, and character costumes.

Resident Evil Survivor
Resident Evil SurvivorResident Evil Survivor is the first Resident Evil title to be rendered in real time as opposed to making use of pre-rendered backdrops. Levels are explored in first person, and when enemies are encountered the press of a button will bring up a targeting reticle for shooting. As with most light-gun games there is infinite pistol ammunition available, but limited ammunition for more powerful weapons. At the end of each level two doors are presented which both lead to different levels, although all paths eventually lead to the same ending.
