Is it still worth playing?

You choose Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, members of an elite task force, to explore the Spencer Mansion in the fictional Arklay mountains, find their missing comrades and secure an escape route. It is a 1996 survival horror game for the PlayStation. The view is third person, with fixed camera angles over pre-rendered backgrounds and tank controls. Environments can be examined, items collected and heavy objects pushed, and doors, stairs and elevators lead from room to room. Chris has more health and handles heavy weapons well, while Jill has more inventory space and starts with a lockpick that opens several locked doors. Both begin with a survival knife and a handgun, and ammunition is limited, so every shot counts. Choosing between two characters still gives the mansion a second visit.
