  • 2005's Resident Evil 4 has the song title My Life Has Been Saved in the background of the inventory screen, though this is only seen in the GameCube version due to all later releases of the game being based on the lower resolution PlayStation 2 version.

Made in Heaven[]

Made in Heaven part of a reoccurring art piece design. The design was inspired by track 2 of the Queen album, Made in Heaven.[citation needed]

The design is featured on a number of products from jackets to Zippo lighters. A leather "Made in Heaven" Zippo was released as part of the promotion for the original Resident Evil in Japan. Three colour versions were produced in 1998 to be sold alongside Resident Evil 2.[1] Hong Kong toy makers also created similar lighters to advertise their manhua. One of the runner up designs for the 2nd Stage portion of the In-Game T-Shirt Contest for the HD Remaster version of Resident Evil 0, "Maiden in Heaven", was a reference to this design.
