/vr/ - Retro Games

I found something kinda interesting while digging for some RE1 stuff. It's a preview, but it mentions weird stuff like fire extinguishers and hammers and a crossbow and chainsaw as weapons. I wonder if this was just some bullshit the author made up or some early concepts that never made the cut.
It's interesting that old Usenet posts sometimes talk about a rumored RE 0.5 with a chainsaw weapon and some different areas, so this issue is probably the source of that unless it was mentioned in other places too.
