Back of Case - PlayStation (UK - The White Label Version):
A series of gory attacks in the area surrounding a remote biotech lab brings in S.T.A.R.S. (Special Tactics and Rescue Squad) to investigate. On arrival, Bravo Team communications are abruptly cut off. Now it's up to your Team. You arrive at the isolated mansion under-powered and on the run. Arm yourself with anything you can find: knives, pistols, shotguns, flame-throwers - search for hidden rounds to stay alive!

From uk.playstation.com:
Resident Evil is an absolute corker. The story is straight out of a B-movie, and great tongue-in-cheek fun.
As a member of the crack STARS Alpha team, you are dropped into a strange town in America's Midwest to locate the previous team, Bravo squad, who have disappeared while checking out some bizarre murders. Attacked by a crazed Doberman, your team takes refuge in the nearest building - a creepy mansion. and so the story really begins.
Resident Evil is arguably the scariest game ever. Atmosphere is piled on with incredible camera angles, music that Hitchcock would have been proud of, and some of the finest beasts ever to grace a video game.
But what of the gameplay? Outstanding. Due to be one of the biggest worldwide sellers of the years - if not ever - Resident Evil sets a new benchmark for all adventure games, shoot-em-ups and puzzles.

Evil has a new address. Yours.
Your Special Tactics and Rescue Squad has been choppered to a remote mansion to investigate a biotechnical experiment gone hideously wrong. Before you can say "mass murder", you're plunged straight into a deathtrap writhing with man-eating freaks, swarming crows and rabid dogs.
Arm yourself with knives and flame-throwers scavanged from dead teammates. Solve puzzles, disarm traps and unearth mysteries. But beware: every move you make draws you deeper into the deadly embrace of Resident Evil!
