[edit] Not really the first "Survival Horror" game
The article contends that Sweet Home is considered to be the first "survival horror" game. However, many of the elements of the "genre" ("Survival horror" are simply action/adventure games with horror themes, and so most likely a subgenre of action/adventure) predate "Sweet Home". Indeed, a game released months before Sweet Home, Friday the 13th, based on the slasher film series, has many of the elements: item hunting, puzzle solving, horror inspired storyline, and overpowering enemies. And to boot it even features the character swapping found in the later Resident Evil games. Even before that, however, Haunted House for Atari 2600/VCS had all the elements of the "survival horror" subgenre years before Sweet Home was released.

While Sweet Home influenced Resident Evil in some ways, the former was not the first of the subgenre, and so I have removed the statement in question.

[edit] Resident Evil Name
The article states, "Rumor is that the Biohazard series' American and European title Resident Evil, was taken from a note found in Sweet Home, which refers to the mansion as a "house of residing evil.", while some sources say the message was an easter egg added in by the fan translators." -- I feel this part should be removed, mostly because the U.S. name of Biohazard was named so at the urging of Capcom USA, and it's highly doubtful anyone at Capcom USA, at the time, had played Sweet Home. The article seems to also contradict itself, the beginning of the article states, "The game was based on the Japanese horror film of the same name.", and yet, under 'The movie' heading, it says "The game and the movie were simultaneously released so it's not really clear if the movie is based on the video game or vice versa."
[edit] Sweet Home Game Based on Movie
http://www.bioflames.com/default.htm In the MISC. Section of the website there is an Interview with Shinji Mikakmi stating that the Sweet Home video game was Based on the movie. I don't know where they took the interview from however.

[edit] Relations
"[Kazuo's] wife died prior to the game, and is the suspected love interest of Akiko."
Is this saying that his wife is the love interest (as grammar would lead one to believe), or that Kazuo himself is (as logic would lead one to believe)? If the latter is true, this leads to be reworked. T.J. Fuller, Jr. 04:27, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
