In the past, the original Resident Evil game was ported to PC back in 1997, but it is no longer available for purchase in modern game stores. The version you can find in those stores is the Resident Evil Remake, which is a remastered version of the original game released on Game Cube.
Recently, GOG has brought back the 1997 version of the game for sale on their platform at the price of $9.99. They have updated the game to support Windows 10 and 11, with a new rendering mode that enhances the visuals and audio of cutscenes. Additionally, it now supports a wide range of controllers from Xbox 360 to DualSense.
Furthermore, GOG has also mentioned that they will be selling the original versions of Resident Evil 2 and 3. Resident Evil 2 will include the unlockable modes The 4th Survivor and Tofu from the start, while Resident Evil 3 will come with the Mercenaries mode.
TLDR: Resident Evil 1997 version is now available on GOG with updated features and support for modern machines, with Resident Evil 2 and 3 original versions coming soon.
