Replaying: Resident Evil 1 (Original)

[CrimsonElder]

Im playing Resident Evil Deadly Silence and I am stuck on a puzzle. Inside the control room in the shark tank there is a valve that you have to turn. I tried using my finger and the pen but the valve just refuses to move and if it does it turns for a few seconds and then spins back to the start. What am I doing wrong? Help meeeee.

You just have to rotate the valve clockwise either with your pen or the finger. I'd probably recommend using your finger because the pen is a bit precise. Make sure to do it slowly and carefully and then it should drain all the water.

It worked for me now for some random reason. I checked the net and found that this is a common fault apparentley I'm not the first person to have problems with this part. I figured I'd give it one last try and it worked. I got passed that and now I'm stuck on something else. Damn this game and its touch screen mini games. At the start of the game it asked me did I want to play Classic or Rebirth. I thought classic would be the normal game without any touch screen mini games however every few doors I walk through I get the knife fight with like 4 or 5 zombies. Its beginning to bug me now. I remember thinking to myself last night that they have ruined a perfectly good game.

I actually really like the Rebirth mode. Might be a problem with your DS touch screen. What problem are you stuck on now?

I also like the Rebirth mode.

I have a quick question for all of you THIA experts…

From what I understand, Kenneth J. Sullivan’s uncensored decapitation can only be seen in Biohazard (PS1 - Japan), Resident Evil (PS1 - Germany), & Resident Evil (PC - USA). What about Biohazard: Director’s Cut / Director’s Cut Dual Shock Ver. (PS1 - Japan) and Resident Evil: Director’s Cut (PS1 - Germany)? Were there any changes made? How about the Sega Saturn version?

@kevstah2004 - I noticed that in the “PC Demo Download” thread started by Anders that the German demo also shows Kenneth’s uncensored death. Is this the only one?

Lastly, does anyone really know why they censored Kenneth’s death? I can certainly see why they made some changes to the introduction, but the decapitation scene just seems rather tame to me, especially when you compare it to some of the in-game deaths. I’m just curious. Thanks in advance, guys. I appreciate the help.

I believe Kenneth's head scene is in all versions of Deadly Silence.
I can't speak for the other editions though.

I was stuck on the spining the vinyl disc in the snake room but I finally managed to get past that. I have a really old Ds its this big old grey thing. My g/f has this version of the DS and until recently I thought they all looked like this.

However when I borrow it from my brother he gave me this thing.

Maybe there is a problem with the older models? I am now stuck again but this time its because I am being overwhelmed by enemies. It seems that every room I go into has something waiting for me. At one point I went from a room with 2 dogs to a room with 3 zombies to one of those fights where you have to tap the screen to knife them, only problem was there was 3 hunters! Its safe to say I got my ass handed to me.

Sounds like the touch screen is messed up. You could try recalibrating the screen by going into the DS options.

The French & German Director's Cut Kenneth scene is censored, I haven't checked Chris's bad ending though.
Only Biohazard psx version has it as far as I know along with the pc games and deadly silence, all Biohazard releases are uncensored but the prologue appears in black & white apart from the pc version.

[Chimera]

Outstanding, gentlemen. Thanks for reminding me about Deadly Silence, Gene. I've been lookin' through Ander's Lost Releases site throughout the afternoon. Christ, there are a lot of variations. Just to be sure, kevstah, the 1997 Deutsch demo is uncensored, correct?

[QUOTE=CrimsonElder;162193]I'll try this, didnt know it existed. Thanks.

EDIT: I managed to make it to the very end of the game, I have saved it right before the second Tyrant fight however my health is on danger and I have no green herbs only several red and blue. Im not even going to attempt to fight Tyrant on the helipad. Looks like I have to start all over again :-( Think I'll try Classic mode next time Rebirth really takes the piss with the touchpad fight sequences.

EDIT 2: I restarted the game on classic mode and completed it in 2 and half hours. I actually filled the item box with heal and ammo and such. Thats a first time I've ever done that in any Re game. Much prefer it on classic mode. I forgot how much I loved this game since I havent played it in many of years. Anytime I decide to play Re1 I usually opt for Remake. Also sorry for the double post, dont know how that happened can you delete the one above if you have to? Thanks.

Not sure why you found it so hard on Rebirth. If anything you should get more ammo/health items from the knife scenes. If you ever try Rebirth again, you could always just hold right on the D-Pad till the text turns green at the start when you're selecting Rebirth or Classic, and you get twice as much ammo and herbs. Or you could do the trick when you keep exiting the door in the dining hall before you see the zombie and when you see Kenneth his legs are gone. Supposed to make it easier.

Really? Cool thanks I'll try these tips. When I played Rebirth mode I got say 2 herbs and 3 hangdun clips from like 25-30 touchscreen fights.
