My mother would watch me play this and others. Single parent that took care of me and my siblings. She died of leukemia this year after fighting it for years. What a wonderful person.

"It's an old typewriter. If I had an ink ribbon, I could save my progress." Good times.

I like how the music tells you that you're safe while reminding you that it's only for a short period of time.

Isn't it amazing how a simple video game can change our lives and stick with us forever?

You have once again entered the world of survival horror. Good Luck.

I just love how the song makes you feel safe when you first hear it, while also having that foreboding nature about it, as if it's saying, "Don't forget what horrors await you out there," and that while you're safe for now, you're gonna have to get your wits about you before leaving. I can't imagine what people felt like when this came out on shelves, and they went home, popped it in their console, and got to the first save room.

What was always so creepy for me in the first Resident Evil, was that you had no clue what was going on. You enter a mansion with monstrosities and try to survive the night.

The one and only, true classic. When I hear it, I always think of the first save room in the mansion, underneath the stairs, with the flickering lantern. Eery yet soothing atmosphere that could never be copied again.

This song brings back many memories of when I was a teenager in 96. It was the beginning of a new and glorious era in the video game world.

Aha! A save room! Now I have plenty of time to relax and make Jill Sandwiches!

Remake of RE1 is great, but this theme is still better. This music have a soul.

So hypnotic. I love it!

RE1 is a true gaming masterpiece.

Very nostalgic. I really can't explain, how bad i miss old RE games (1,2,3 Code Veronica, Outbreak). I like RE 4,5,6 and Revelations but.... this is not survival horror games anymore. There is no more such deep atmosphere, no feel of despair, hopeless and scare. Listening this music always bring me back memories from long past childhood, when i and my older brother play in RE on Christmas holidays. Soft snow came behind the window, our kitten peacefully sleep on the sofa, our mother cook something delicious on the kitchen and smell carried around all house. Precious memories, that stays with me forever. Thank you Capcom, for making such wonderful game. Thank you, wickedslicks1003 for upload this beautiful extended version.

I don't know why but I prefer this version to the remake version. There's something about it...

so nostalgic my stomach is turning

ill never forget the first time i made it into that save room! i was on the edge of my seat with my heart pounding stoned out of my mind !! i definitely was mesmerized and didnt wanna leave the room !! those were the days

Anyone else still listen to this? God it reminds me of such a good time during my childhood. Countless hours spent playing this game.. it truly tugs on my heart strings

This is soooo creepy. Like it's saying "you are safe in here but out there terrible things are happening and waiting"

2019 and im still listening to this probably will forever

I think this song fits perfectly with the save room. It's both soothing and atmospheric. It gives you the feeling that your in a safe haven where no harm can come to you, but it also reminds you that there are more horrors to face ahead of you

Man how times have changed since then this game will forever be a great memory

A game way ahead of its time. Only Resident Evil can have a horrific theme throughout the game, near death experiences at every turn, or death experiences depending on how you were at this game and then 1 room where the music is tranquil and calm.

creepy nostalgic and peaceful at the same time.

it brings me a tear to my eye

I remember playing this game when I was very young. Up until recently I forgot how much of a profound impact this game had on my interests and tastes. Hearing this theme again after so long actually got tears welling up in my eyes. I love Resident Evil, it's genuinely changed my life.

41 years old and I remember this like it was yesterday, Damn, I miss those days!

This theme always give me shivers, because, it's so calm and tense at the same time, that it recalls me the slowly putrefaction of the living dead that surrounds the lonely room where the music plays. When I entered in the "safe" room, I felt like I was in the middle of a rotten, dark but fascinating garden of madness and death. Resident Evil 1 had a special magic...

This music I think is sad, a feeling of safety but also liberating all at the same time.

Games I loved as a kid,were scared of as a kid and beaten as a kid. Clock Tower (PS1) Resident Evil to Resident Evil Code:Veronica X Dino Crisis Silent Hill 1 & 2

I was born January 2000 but a few years ago the neighbors across the street gave me their children's old playstation 1 with a bunch of games - and I'm having such a blast playing these old games. I grew up playing call of duty world at war and modern warfare 2... but the simplicity of the ps1 games makes them very fun - great soundtracks and everything.

I personally like this version over the remake.

Way before it's time when it comes to game music. This game will always be a classic. Brings back so many memories.

I miss the days when games used to be genuinely exciting and fun.

Covid-19 pandemic starts: Gamers who have spent more time inside than out:

after years I still listen to this soundtrack .. I would play only for the rescue soundtrack, I think it is one of the most beautiful in the game .. it is so relaxing and hypnotic and above all it helps to relax you after so much tension .. when I was little I was looking for the room of the rescue to hear this wonderful melody 💓..in 2021 Resident evil is still so relevant

Better than the director's cut save room theme

Total nostalgic! The time past, very.. very fast, I'm already pretty old! I miss that time!!!!

omg i have been looking for this track for like 23 years. damn, i remember i was feeling creeped out by the game and this was a nice little getaway from the stress. my brother came into the room and commented on how morose the music was.

This calms me and gives me nostalgia although I never played the original. It’s like the music of the old games have some sort of magic.

MASTERPIECE !!! Seriously, THIS song is so beautiful perfectly done, and itz hidden in a video game... only real people know and feel it :)

remember having the TV with the long back side and the yellow , white and red cables you plugged in the TV? pepperidge farm remembers. lol these were the days

The first zombie is the greatest scene in the game history!

this theme is just perfect.. cant imagine when you enter a horrible night like they have and you just finally get to sit down for the first time after losing your teammates and friends and just take a deep breath before having to go out and face the horror once again. This theme embodys that element perfectly.

Unknown feeling, is what this soundtrack gives you..

Young people cant understand how revolutionary this game was. It was the golden age of gaming.

I was born in the early 2000s, I did not grow up with Resident Evil, unfortunately. I stumbled upon this theme a bit ago and I am absololutely hypnotized, I envy those that have had the chance to grow up with what seemingly seems to be an absolute masterpiece that is Resident Evil. Videogames are just not what they used to be anymore...

A hora em que o coração começava a bater mais devagar e os jogadores podiam relaxar e organizar seus inventarios e programar o proximo passo,essa musica traduzia exatamente isso...infelizmente muitas pessoas criticam a face atual da serie,o rumo em que a serie tomou,de fato os zumbis,cerberus,corvos e tantos outros inimigos davam um charme especial para a historia mas pouquissimas pessoas sabem que a intenção do criador nao era colocar zumbis como antangonistas no definitivo,eles foram consequencias de experiencias com um super virus que ao longo da evolução do enredo foi se desenvolvendo e criando os inimigos que conhecemos nos jogos atuais,ou seja o que a corporação umbrella desejava desde os primordios da criação do t virus,o que vemos hj é algo que a antiga umbrella nao conseguiu desenvolver,armas biologicas mortiferas e com mais eficiencia,apenas isso,essa era a intenção,claro sem desmerecer os antigos jogos e os inimigos classicos...

First ps1 game I played. My cousin had rented it. Such an experience as I hadn’t even played a 3D rendered game to that point. I was completely immersed and it remains my favorite game of all time. This save room theme here brings back such fond memories. The people at Capcom are legendary.

To this day no one knows what the fuck type of gun he's holding.

This music genuinely helps me concentrate whilst working on spreadsheets. I think its the old memory of diving into this room on minimal health and hearing this music knowing you have time to stop and think and also hope to hell there is a green herb in here somewhere :-) Good times

i hate how all the games these days need a freakin orchestra for all the themes, i would LOVE these simplified atmospheric more than anything needlessly complicated

suprised people dont talk about how amazing the artwork on the cover is to me it fits the music so well both artists are so talented and both are really great at making you curious yet creeped out

I finally got round to fully playing this game when lockdown started in March 23rd 2020. When I got to the safe rooms, it made me feel like I was in my flat all safe and sound but knowing full well that there is danger out there once I step outside. I really hope your all safe and sound out there in the world!

Listening this music only reminds when I was little girl and I was watching my dad or my cousins playing this game in PlayStation, I never got play this game because I had scared with first zombie hahahaha

Original is always the best.

Well... I’m safe for now. I may as well take a little time to rest and recollect myself. Maybe make a note of my progress with that typewriter...

Beauty of the eerie vibe in this soundtrack is so beautiful that it kills me... never played the game but this safe room theme is just ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ My alarm tone since 4 years

Got to be the best video game sound track ever I use this for my alarm getting up for work 😩 makes me getting up for work a little easier ☺️

absolutely amazing a sense of lost, terror, fear & peace.

Best save room music of the franchise.

I use this track when I want to sleep, thanks to it, I can sleep deeply, that's why I love it

Quarantine song.

Best game ever made and ever to be made... Hands down !

This is very similar to Dark Souls character creation music. Love it!

The feeling knowing we won't get good soundtracks like this again is purgatory to me

I love how messed up "chris's" face is on the cover.

Remember playing Resi Evil 1 back in like 96? I was around 8/9 years old, used to love finding the save rooms to listen to this music and chill for a while before continuing shooting Zombies, lol.

God 90's soundtracks music are the best

I don't know what I would give to go back to those long gone days to experience that videogames era once again. Great times back then when I was a kid not worrying about anything but to have fun playing everyday. Nostalgia eats you alive faster than a zombie...

Reminds me of hot summer nights in 1997, headed into sophomore year,sitting on the floor, scared in my dark house playing this with my friend. Safe for a second…lol RE1 is forever a classic. Changed gaming for me.

Please 1998 come back! : (

Amazing how this piece of art gives me so much nostalgia

I still have a perfect memory from my childhood, certainly around 20 years ago when I was but a young teenager, sat in my room, playing this game during a dark autumn evening. This theme was playing. Moon was shining straight into my room through a window, partially covered by leafless trees waving in the wind. I wasn't playing the game. Just staring at the TV screen and all I heard was this music and thoughts went through my head about my vastly distant and unknown future, and sometimes I feel like I created that moment specifically to connect to my future self through memory. Like what I'm doing right now. So... thanks, kid. I appreciate it :)

the background scenarios (like the helipead you see through the window when you are inside the secret room located in the library) give more inmersion to the game in my opinion. Thinking about the fact that we are totally isolated even if a city is not so far there increases the tension too.

Raaaaaa, memories. Talk about nostalgia. Jheeze! 20 years later.

Anyone like the original more than the remake?

Cant wait to play the remake... ON THE GO!

Cuantos recuerdos desbloqueados!!!!! una obra maestra.

This music... Takes me back to being 12 years old playing the game in the dark late on a hot summer night with my bedroom windows open. Would have been August 1996 :)

So much nostalgia with this game and theme

É incrível como esse tema passa a sensação de " estou seguro " e ao mesmo tempo " tenho que me cuidar " E o mais legal é ler os comentários e ver que todo mundo sente algo semelhante. Resident evil é uma obra de arte em gameplay e trilha sonora

Dark Souls 1 Character Creation OST and RE1 Save Room Theme are goals

Don't worry, you're safe now

ah the save room, a brief respite from the nightmares that lurk outside. giving you a chance to get your bearings back and calm down before you must once again dive back into the nightmare

I’m actually playing the Ps1 director’s cut game late at night right now. I couldn’t help but notice how peaceful this theme is.It literally puts my soul to peace.I love it.

the most beutiful music ever made to a game

A single soundtrack with no lyrics, yet it tells you a message "You are safe...for now. Better get a move on while you can"

Resident Evil 1, 2, and Code Veronica had the best save room music.

Never lose your inner child. I miss those days.. 3th grade. I'm 35 soon.

OG soundtrack is the absolute best. I love everything about the original RE but I think it's the soundtrack that does it for me. Such a brilliant game, my personal GOAT.

I could listen to this for hours on end, sooo beautiful

I like that the save rooms in the series are more like "safe rooms". …And the type writer concept . . . (shiver) . . . chills down my spine.

It instantly takes me back to those foggy Saturday nights in 1998 when we didn't sleep and just played through the night. Nothing compares. Sadly it all ended forever after RE3. The gloomy and cold soundtrack really make this melody even more magical.

This takes me back to 1998. I was 15 and got RE 2 for my birthday. I didn't have RE 1 yet. So I bought it with my birthday money from my grandparents. I spent the summer playing both games.

I miss the good old days :(

I feel relax to listen this sound in isolated areas.

Always dreaded having to leave and confront the nightmares.

this is just... beautiful

I listened to this music while repairing a ps3 controller for playing Resident evil 1. I can now enjoy it. The track helped me to keep calm.
