Resident evil 1 has been rehashed a lot of times

I was on a video game message board and someone said that mario is the most rehashed franchise so I got to thinking and researching and resident evil is even more rehashed especially the 1st game which I'll explain

Resident evil 1 came out for playstation 1 in a long box and this is the original version. However the usa version had censored cut-scenes and this is something that is going to come up soon not unlike a redead

Sony introduced the greatest hits line and RE1 was re-released as a greatest hits title with the uncensored cut-scenes(labeled directors cut) only it was the same version as the original(yeah someone messed that up) and an easy mode. Sony came out with the dual shock controller and capcom re-released the RE1 greatest hits version to be compatible with it(it says it on the box and has a different cover)

So that's 3 versions of the same game for the ps1 and it doesn't stop there. There was a pc version released around this time among with a sega saturn version. The game was remade for the gamecube system and it was given the nickname of REmake so that's 6 versions

The REmake was sold as a stand along game for awhile then it was bundled with resident evil 0 in a 2 pack box called pure evil. This mini box set was re-released to include a demo of resident evil 4. So to count it, 3 versions of the same game on the gamecube and bringing the total to 9 overall

A port was released in 2006 for the nintendo ds, it had the original ps1 versions among with a ds exclusive version that lets you use the touch screen for some minor things. The gamecube RE was ported to the wii to bring it up to 11 overall

It doesn't stop there though, The gamecube REmake was...well remade for the ps3 and xbox360 and PC to include resident evil 4 style controls so that's 12 versions and I'm not including pc re-releases or possible steam releases or the playstation network version or the unreleased gameboy color version that later leaked onto rom form and there might be a directors cut ps1 version that also has a resident evil 2 demo

That is a lot of different versions of the same game and I own the gamecube,wii and ds versions. The RE1 web of games is rivaled only by final fantasy 4
