DINO CRISIS (PS1 PLAYSTATION)

Three years ago, a brilliant scientist disappeared while researching a new form of energy. The government that funded his research considered the whole affair a loss, which made it all the more upsetting when reports of Dr. Kirk's good health and near-completed research arrived. A special forces team is sent to the private lab on Doctor's Island to extract him and his research, but they are utterly unprepared for some of the side effects of his developments. Side effects that come from 100 million years in the past.

Dino Crisis is a survival horror game that is very similar in control and gameplay to its sister series, Resident Evil. As in that series, protagonist Regina will have limited supplies and ammo to fight deadly enemies while searching for keys (some figuratively, some literally) to open locked areas. Unlike the Resident Evil games, Regina will find very few actual supplies lying around and instead find "sockets" which are used to open caches of emergency supplies located around the compound. However, there are only enough caps to open some of these caches, so care must be taken to decide which items are really needed. In another change from Resident Evil, the game is rendered in 3D, allowing the camera to rotate or pan, although camera angles are still out of the player's control. Even the dumbest dinosaur is smarter than the undead, and enemies can hunt and disarm Regina, and even sometimes follow her through doors. Regina can use the complex's force fields to block her enemies.
