10 amazing facts you didn't know about Silent Hill

The Series Spawned An Arcade Game!

I know it’s hard to believe but a Silent Hill arcade game does indeed exist and is aptly titled Silent Hill: The Arcade created back in 2007. All you have to do in the arcade game is basically shoot all the monsters featured in all the previous games while avoiding losing your life. However the arcade game was widely panned by critics with many calling it an unnecessary addition to the series. So if you see Silent Hill: The Arcade game machine anywhere I wouldn’t recommend playing it unless you want to lighten your wallet of all its quarters.

The Fog That Covers The Town Was Actually Meant To Hide Bad Graphics

You got to hand it to Konami for being ingenious because the above fact was a real masterstroke of their part. Since computer graphic cards weren’t that powerful back in 1999 and since Silent Hill was a cutting edge game in terms of graphics not everything in the game could be rendered. As a result Konami decided to cover the bad looking parts with fog which led everyone to believe that the fog was meant to add to the spookiness of Silent Hill. As a result the fog became synonymous with the series and featured in every game since then.
