I don't want to necessarily search through the top 100 at this time, but was "Alone in the Dark" in there?

I am assuming not, but that game, as far as I know, was the first real survival horror game and at the time was pretty neat.

I guess my question is, if that game didn't spawn survival horror-a pretty popular genre-, what are we giving credit for doing so...Resident Evil?

It was there and Resident Evil was a little bit higher. It's kind of like Doom and Wolfenstein 3D...Doom gets all the credit because it's so far superior and only came out a little while afterwards. However, Alone in the Dark wasn't the beginning of survival horror anyway, as they say in the write-up (it's in the 80s or 90s).
