Resident Evil Easter Eggs
Message from director and unused costumes
Beat Invisible Mode in 5:00:00 to open up a message from the director and a slide show of unused costume designs.Hidden Tofu Message
Near the end of the game in the Laboratory, you will reach a computer that you have to enter passwords into in order to progress through the game. If you enter the password "MOLE" from the original game, you will actually hear Tofu from Resident Evil 2 on the computer screen. Strangely, this only works on Easy Mode for some reason.
Resident Evil Glitches
Grenade Launcher Glitch
This is a step by step guide to getting this glitch to work. Follow these instructions or it will fail.
Requirements: You must have the grenade launcher and two types of ammo (e.g., Grenade Rounds, Incendiary Rounds)
1) Put all items in item box
2) Put Grenade Launcher in upper-left item slot
3) Put Incendiary Rounds in upper-right item slot
4) Close box
5) Open inventory
6) Equip Grenade Launcher
7) Open box
8) Select Incendiary Rounds from inventory
9) Press ''A'' twice
10) Move cursor to Incendiary Rounds inside box
11) Press ''A'' twice
The amount of Incendiary Rounds in the Grenade Launcher will now increase. The number value will be graphically glitched. Close the box and open inventory to fix that. I assume the value exceeds the possible amount, so the game automatically reduces the rounds to 240 to prevent data corruption. Enjoy.
This also works for other types of grenade ammo... But why you'd want anything other than Incendiary Rounds is beyond me.
NOTE: This code does not work in the PAL version of the game.
