Known for its atmosphere, puzzle based and conservative gameplay, mixed with the confusing yet well-designed mansion, memorable characters and music, Resident Evil was a major hit that was followed up by the even more successful and superior Resident Evil 2.
It was also known for it's HILARIOUSLY bad dialogue and voice acting. Surprisingly it didn't hurt the game that bad as it helped keep the B-movie atmosphere (though its remake on the GameCube is better, one of the reasons being the improved dialogue and acting).
So I say happy 15th anniversary to the Resident Evil series, and here's hoping for many more years of greatness.

Another anniversary this month is Street Fighter II. For those of you who don't know Street Fighter, you may be asking, "Why celebrate the anniversary of the second game in a series?" Because the original Street Fighter was a broken fighting game while Street Fighter II revolutionized an entire genre.
Street Fighter II took its predecessor and made it a masterpiece that changed the industry with its tight controls and memorable characters. It was a groundbreaking work that helped revitalize fighting games and made them the big money-maker for the next few years and by extension helped revitalize arcades.
It still stands as one of the greatest and most important games in history and its influence on the entire industry can still be felt 20 years after its release. So happy anniversary to Street Fighter II.
