| history | The House of the Dead (c) 1996 Sega. Make your way through a haunted mansion filled with crazed zombies, chainsaw-wielding 'undeads' and other nasty creatures! Your mission is to investigate the status of the mysteriously missing personnel at a genetic engineering center, and the first team of operatives sent to rescue them. You must destroy the Undead's evil creator, Dr. Curien, while saving the scientists and your girl. During the game, you discover that good doctor is the one resurrecting the Undead, and you must stop him and his evil undead minions. The game is divided into 4 chapters; Armored Giant, Man-Bat, Giant Spider, and 'Magician'. The game allows you to aim and destroy specific body parts. (i.e. you can blow off the arms of a chainsaw-wielding undead enemy), although blowing off their heads is the fastest way of killing them. Awesome and one of the best selling modern video games! - TECHNICAL - Sega Model 2C hardware Main CPU : i960KB (@ 25 Mhz), 68000 (@ 12 Mhz) Sound Chips : SCSP (@ 12 Mhz) Screen orientation : Horizontal Video resolution : 496 x 384 pixels Screen refresh : 60.00 Hz Palette colors : 8192 Players : 2 Control : 8-way joystick Buttons : 4 - TRIVIA - Because of its graphic content, House of the Dead (or HOTD for shorts) and its sequels became centers for video game controversy, particularly in 2000, when the city of Indianapolis, Indiana used the game as an example in an attempt to pass an ordinance requiring minors get parental consent before being able to play violent video games in arcades. The ordinance was eventually struck down at the appellate Federal court level on the grounds that it violated First Amendment rights. The movie version of "The House of the Dead" had next to nothing to do with its game counterpart (as all game-to-movie conversions go), but it did have an interesting twist : one of the survivors of the zombie rampage was named Curien (the villain of HOTD), and AMS agents Rogan and G appear at the film's end. - UPDATES - The US version has the 'Winners Don't Use Drugs' screen. - TIPS AND TRICKS - * Player 1 Plays As Sophie : Right after inserting your credit, press Right, Left, Right(x2), Left(x2), Start.
