ORIGINS OF SURVIVAL HORROR: PROJECT FIRESTART

#ProjectFirestart #C64Review #SurvivalHorror #MonstersOfTheWeek #OriginsOfSurvivalHorror

In this mini-series, Origins of Survival Horror, we’re going to explore the games that preceded Resident Evil (the game that coined the term), but that were already full-blown survival horror games through and through.

Today, we’re covering the first fully-fledged survival horror title ever made, the 1989 Commodore 64 title Project Firestart, developed by Dynamix and published by Electronic Arts.
Project Firestart was in so many ways truly ahead of its time, not just in it being down to every little checkmark, a full-on survival horror game 6 years before Resident Evil saw the light of day.
