      Yes, indeed, Aidan. That game was the very best which ever came out for the PS1. Unfortunately at the same time it marked the end of an era for the PS1... Two more games, Alone in the Dark and Dino Crisis, came out and it was over.

It's the only thing that makes sense because NONE of the others disappear. Ever. They always stick around.
      Plus, it coincides with the rumor that Konami is doing a Silent Hill 1 remake. And akira yamaoka is still doing music, because he did music for The Medium.
