>I meant the original Resident Evil 2 was also on PC, but that too.

Yeah, there was a PC port released for Windows 95/98 in early 1999.

>RE2 classic doesn't really have a "definitive" version. Nightmare mode is exclusive to Dreamcast, whereas N64 is the only one with a built-in randomizer. Graphics-wise, all of them only scale the backgrounds. DC and PC render at higher internal res with I imagine more customization for the latter via patches. Natively, PC has uncompressed FMVs but that's about it. And I think GC is the only one with skippable cutscenes.

The Dreamcast version also uses the VMU to show player statue. I had the N64 version of Resident Evil 2. I bought it from a BlockBuster as a previously played title. I did play a little of Resident Evil 1 on the PS1 before RE2. But Resident Evil 2 on the N64 was the first game in the franchise that I completed from start to finish with both player scenarios and reversed order. This version has some short comings. The video had to really be hacked up to fit in this game. I think every second frame is missing, and some sort of interpolation is used. The 2D backgrounds have been resized (down scaled) to fit in the N64's video RAM. Character model textures were simplified. But, 98% of the game is still there. The audio samples can sound compressed. Angel Studios did what they could with 64MB of storage. Also, they had the Factor 5 Dolby Sound engine that took up space.
