I remember when I was really young. I went to my local arcade and in a dusty corner was The house of the dead 1 original arcade machine. I called my dad over to play it with me but he didint think I'd like it since I was so young. I got him to play two players with me, Me being Rogan and my dad being G. (I admit I was terrified) I was horrible. Shooting everywhere but somehow killing alot of zombies, but of course my dad did most of the work. We made it to the magician. My dad getting a drink from the cafe, died to the magician's fireballs. Me being the smart one put in an extra dollar into the 2nd player's slot and started dual wielding. (It was so hard) I managed to beat the magician shooting him everywhere not knowing his weak spot and got the best ending (Sophie is alive) That was the best day of my life... Edit: The arcade machine was removed a few months ago D:
@@draskafer Is there a clip on youtube? Because after googling it says "Based on the players performance she may or may not die, but canonically she survives, and gives birth to lisa the second playable character in the house of the dead III"

They made a kit when HOTD 2 came out, that was designed to convert it. So you would have had a big box with all kinds of stuff, a new gameboard, two new guns, and all new art to cover the cabinet with. It would be pretty hard to do without the kit, but you could scrape the pieces together...
Seems like House of the Dead cabinets are quite rare nowadays. Sad really since they used to be everywhere you looked. Even in the most unexpected of places.
What a modern classic this is! It's more Sega light gun action in its purest. :) I like playing this and Harley L.A.Riders at the Bowl 'N' Bounce in Lake Wylie (not too far from this place).
Sadly, those games are gone from Bowl 'N' Bounce now. However, I found this machine at the Challenger 3 golf arcade in Shelby, NC. It was in great condition and the volume was loud; I even danced to the in-game music to the point where I was about to cry. :)
@@ConversusVans The House of the Dead's gameplay and concept is completely original; combining Crypt Killer with Mortal Kombat's graphic violence in a light gun game, running in Virtua Cop engine, and being fast-paced with faster zombies, much faster and better than Crypt Killer.
Remember my pops taking me and my brother to speedzone in his GS300 to play this game for hours lmao and Jurassic Park. Miss the late 90’s early 2000’s
I guess there were different revisions of this game. The floor texture on the 1st chariot boss fight looks surprisingly very different from the arcade dump I have. In the arcade dump running on the emulator, the floor texture looks completely different and kinda similar to that of the pc/saturn port. Edit: Nevermind. That's not the only texture that looks better here. Was the dump of the model 2 a bad one then? I have been testing many dumps of this game and all of them have bad textures on some specific parts of the game which looks miles better here on this video. Some examples include: 17:56 floor texture is high res and has metallic texture. Ceiling looks better and high res too. 12:43 high res and different looking floor. 14:27 high res floor texture with patterns. 15:30 high res walls 16:03 different and high res walls. Almost all of them on the dump are low res and flat looking. Don't know if it's an emulator issue or just a bad dump as a whole.
I think it's definitely an emulation issue... the SEGA PCB's were incredibly complex and had a lot going on... each game it seems like had a little extension or a slightly different video board to make things work slightly differently... so my guess would be that some of the skins were handled by a certain GPU or something on one of the boards that hasn't been emulated properly yet.
Joe's Classic Video Games That gives me hope that elSemi will one day release an updated version of m2 emulator which can display the textures. Also thanks for the info. I appreciate it. Edit: and yeah it makes sense. After a closer inspection I realized tue game has 2 layers of textures. The one that I can see on the emulator are the textures for giving the illusion of shadow and lighting. Thats why those were probably low res simce the main texture which the emulator cant display is high res.
I have made some comparison screenshots here on segabits forum: segabits.com/forums/index.php?topic=4412.0 Hopefully the emulation community gets aware of it. Being able to emulate the original arcade version properly would be a dream come true.
I played this game at Dave & Busters when it first came out, I never beat it until they re released it for the WII. Love this game from the bottom of my heart.
Great cabinet ! If you want to play this at home you would have to get the sega saturn version. Would be nice to see a video how you clean up these old cabinets.
@THRIZLE 1 Area 51 had entertaining FMV at the time in 1995, CarnEvil had excellent graphics at the time in 1998, Area 51: Site 4 improves the FMV for 1998, Invasion: The Abductors had okay graphics (despite having PS1-like jaggy effect), Johnny Nero Action Hero had okay graphics with PS2 shading (despite the polygons and textures belong to a N64 game), Star Trek: Voyager - The Arcade Game had horrible PS1-like graphics with no shading by 2002 standards, and Target: Terror had crappy cheap FMV for 2004 standards.
In 98 I worked for Montgomery ward auto express. It was in the mall. On lunch a co worker walked to the mall arcade and pumped about $10 in quarters to win this game together. I need to try it again lol
Indeed there was, along with Virtua Cop, Virtua Fighter and I think a few others. The house of the dead port in particular was far superior to the Sega Saturn version, it had hardware acceleration support and was almost indistinguishable from the arcade version if you had a 3DFX card.
Man I wish my local flea market still had the house of the dead arcade machine I remember as a kid it was on the arcade section that me and my older brother none stop playing the game oh man I missed it a lot 😄
I think this is the game I spent most of my money on. It was that addicting and you're right, those who were trying to run away from the creatures weren't helping any hehehe. During the time you were probably filming this, I just got back to the Philippines from my 10 year stint in the US.
Used to play this at Brighton Pier with my dad in the late 90s/early 00s, then the sequel, was good fun. Always did quite well but Magician was such a tough bastard every time, don't think we ever beat it. Loved the old games back then like the Jurassic Park on rails shooter, and another one set in a helicopter with a gigantic gun you used for it
Was that one "L.A. Machine Guns" ? Yeah I remember at the time people felt like those games weren't as good as the older games, but looking back now they were the last little breath of good games we got! Thanks for watching thebossman222 we appreciate it!
@Joe's Classic Video Games It very well may have been that game, its literally been a good 22 years or so, can't remember much but I really struggled holding the gun so must have been quite young. The vid was great thanks for reminding me of it again
I remember playing the sequel in Butlins Minehead and it was the deluxe one (i think) all i know is that it had a huge screen and the player 2 controller's finger guard for the trigger was snapped off, and i made it to the 3rd level on 2 credits. Haha, good times.
@@kyleB061 yessir, although the center stage arcade is now shutdown and not available anymore. However if you peek through the window on the door you can still see the machine there, hopefully one day they'll either sell it to a place that will use it properly or they'll put it out in the main arcade.
I played this, the 2nd one and silent scope a silly amount as a kid with my older brother. I aleays loved the gun games. I actually have the opportunity to pick up the 2nd one in cabinet form for a great price, I just don't know if i have the room for it in my game room lol
Though the title screen says '96, House of the Dead 1 was originally released to arcades in Japan on March 1997 as a 50" deluxe cabinet and standard, mirrored cabinet, and the US release was May 1997 for the deluxe and this pedestal cabinet. I found this information by looking at the flyers, manuals and ROMs.
Honestly this game really taught me the value or perception and strategy over blind might. This game may seem like you're meant to just blast away mindlessly and while it's certainly a strategy in some spots and necessary in the first boss fight, you can't really just rely on trigger mashing at all times. Sometimes it's necessary to pay attention to the right time to strike and so you wont miss projectiles or anything. No offense ofcourse but your gameplay here was a prime example since you kept shooting so much you'd miss a projectile flying at you or during the Hanged Man fight you kept going for center mass while not even noticing the bats approaching.
Not easily.... Sega is famous for having every one of their games have a slight difference in something or the other, so you'd have to add a ton of wiring and different board sets, etc. to make it play more than 1 game, then do it again if you added another game too. They'd even change the sound amp board from time to time, or make the In Out board a little different, etc.
Can anyone help me. I have Jurassic park lost world and need another gun been looking online this game and mine take the same Gun well the 2 house of the dead takes my same gun
This reminded me of the house of the dead 2 cabinet, the gigantic one that you kind of step inside. Was one in Stockholm in gröna lund (sort of a fairground & zoo) last time i was there in 2009 i think ? fairly certain its been removed these days though as we don't really use the same swedish 5 kr coins anymore which i think it took along with 10 sek coins, maybe its been modified too accept those, i dont know... random picture of a similar one here. img.letgo.com/images/96/38/04/e3/963804e3b7cfcc0a7ef8c218c4579bcb.jpg?impolicy=img_600
You can definitely change the coin it takes, they make them where there is a special insert inside that allows it to take different coins... that's how they make 1 cabinet that will work all over the world with different currencies... so it would be very simple to update to the new coin. Those walk in ones were really cool!
No, there's nothing more awesome than this....well maybe the Virtua Cop series (god, those were incredible) and I'd love to get my hands on Planet Harriers or Virtual On (I really loved that game, it often gets a load of shit but it's so much fun).
Gosh so many consoles back then. I chose to just invest in the old ones and collect games. I did like this game sword of the berzerk and carn-evil. I think dreamcast and arcade only though.

I have this game on Sega Saturn with two orange stunner guns!!! Cost me $50 dollars. Great game. Still can't get passed the 3rd Chapter.
Do they not let you continue, or does it start you back at the beginning of the chapter?
They made a kit when HOTD 2 came out, that was designed to convert it. So you would have had a big box with all kinds of stuff, a new gameboard, two new guns, and all new art to cover the cabinet with. It would be pretty hard to do without the kit, but you could scrape the pieces together...
Seems like House of the Dead cabinets are quite rare nowadays. Sad really since they used to be everywhere you looked. Even in the most unexpected of places.

The “remake” is an abomination, absolute trash. The 90s version still holds up and should’ve been the same version on the Switch.
I can imagine classic style being optional in the settings for the remake to make it retro just like this
