       First of all, Resident Evil came out in early '96 and it was the best 
game of the year.  Not it's getting old.  But the plot is really well done. 
You'll never see a plot like that on N64.  Most of the dialogue wasn't 
supposed to be funny, just bad acting.  Resident Evil is similar to Alone in 
the Dark beacuse of the camera angles.  Resident Evil is original because it 
was ment to scare.  No other game has done that except Tomb Raider 2.  I 
never played Alone in the Dark, so I can't realy say much about the plot.
