Description / Review
Henry Mason and his daughter Cheryl are driving to their favorite vacation spot. Late that night, a figure suddenly appears from out of the darkness. Harry turns the wheel in panic, and the car careens into the wall. When he awakens, he realizes Cheryl is missing, and he begins his trek into  the lonely town of Silent Hill to find her. 		Trivia
  • The game was released with two different covers. See below.

  • Silent Hill features a really neat feature that requires Konami's Light gun 'The Justifier'. Usually, you would have to beat the game and get a great rating to unlock a weapon known as the 'Hyper Blaster'. Basically it's the in-game version of the Justifier! If you want to use this without beating the game, simply plug in the real Justifier into Controller Port 2, then turn on the PSX and start a new game. Bingo!

  • Many of the street names in the game are based on real life horror authors.

  • Inside the school building, you'll see a list of teachers names. 3 of them are references to the band Sonic Youth.


Greatest Hits
Silent Hill was released as a Greatest Hit. Pictures coming soon. 		Variations / Misprints
The original release of Silent Hill featured a silver cover, giving it a very surreal glaze effect. These were most likely shipped as pre-order perks. The second release of Silent Hill features a regular, jet black cover.
