Resident Evil: Not only did this game capture the uniqueness of Alone in the Dark, it helped launch the return of the zombie horror genre.
Silent Hill: Another one of the all-time best selling horror video games and a great release in the survival horror genre.
Sweet Home: Long forgotten, this 1989 game for the old Nintendo system is commonly considered the first survival horror game ever released.but it wasn’t.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre for the Atari 2600: Possibly the first survival horror video game ever and it was extremely controversial when first released in 1983. Actually, it was barely released as many stores would not carry it.
The survival horror genre certainly is long running. Odds are it will still be going strong decades from now.
