Small thing but Martian Gothic has a bunch of changes between the PC original and PS1 port. The PS1 version seems to be way more difficult because the zombies seem to be almost guaranteed to do damage to you when they grab, even if you shake them off immediately. Because most of the game has tiny corridors and the zombies don't have whiff animations like in RE1, you have to choose between taking the grab and shaking them off until you can get past or spending ammo on them. And because the zombies never die (they only stay down for a few minutes at best) you have to be careful.

The PC version lets you easily shake enemies off without taking any damage at all and if you're lucky they'll fall over as if they've just been shot.

Both versions are also incredibly buggy and you can easily do stuff out of order to soft lock the game.
