The original House of the Dead was a massive hit when it hit arcades in the mid to late 90s. The game was eventually ported to the Sega Saturn and the PC and while it may not be as impressive as the games that would follow. I do feel that it is a very important game in video game history as this is a franchise that is still going to this day.

'I Don't wanna die!' God, I used to love The House of The Dead - and Virtua Cop too, while we're talking coin-op light-gun games. Sega has now finally pulled the zombie finger out of its backside (nice image) and released the latest in the franchise, The House Of The Dead III, on PC. The game is two years late, mind, but at least you can still blast the on-screen zombies with a replica weapon.
House Of The Dead Games For Pc
The House Of The Dead III follows the template of the two earlier games, presenting a basic on-rails shooter where you (and a friend in the co-op mode -though not available in this PC version either) shoot the various rotting nasties as they burst through doors, climb ceilings, fall from the sky and crawl along the ground. The storyline is mostly incomprehensible, but is set 20 years after the last game, and follows the adventures of a male and female agent trying to find out why there are so many genetically enhanced zombies about the place. Or something. In any case, you won't care because the voice-acting is terrible - it even manages to make the actors in Blade: Trinity look like Oscar contenders.
One-Gun Salute
Your only weapon is a hefty shotgun, which automatically reloads when you run out of ammo - you don't have to keep pointing the gun off-screen as in previous versions, which makes both the Survival mode (arcadestyle branching storyline) and Time Attack mode (shoot enemies against the clock) much easier to complete.
Now, all you have to do is follow the on-rails action, aim the cross-hair with a mouse or light-gun and blast any slavering zombies before they get too close, damage your character and lose you a life. Along the way you occasionally have to save your partner by shooting the undead surrounding them, and you can collect bonus items such as coins and bonus lives by blasting barrels, boxes and other destructible items.
At the end of every chapter you have a face-off with a classic big boss, such as a hellish security guard wielding a club of human skulls, and each has a weak spot that you have to continuously riddle with bullets to bring them down. Sophisticated it isn't. In fact, The House Of The Dead III is so devastatingly brainless, that any zombies looking for food would starve.
Definitely the best element of the game is the trigger-happy, ultra-violent killings - heads explode, limbs detach from fleshy bodies, and the blood splatters freely around the environments. There's an excellent array of creatures ranging from bulky, lurching corpses, to fast-moving axewielding cadaverous nutters, and they all split apart in a very satisfactory (and extremely gory) fashion.
Simply Not The Best
But, even with a light-gun, this is a hideously dated shooter that's difficult to recommend when you have Doom 3, Painkiller and a million other better titles available. Even the 2001 game Typing Of The Dead, where you have to kill the monsters by quickly spelling out words, is infinitely more engaging - and improves your keyboard skills. At least The House of the Dead III gives you an opportunity to dig that dust-covered light-gun out of the loft for one last dalliance with those not-so-friendly, neighbourhood zombies. HOTD RIP.

- this game I think is pretty good on windows XP not on windows 10
- It Says Please install CD-ROM no Exe. File please help!
- i like it very much
- Had this one for the Dream Cast along with Resident Evil to round of the horror survival shelf. Interesting to see it floating about and seemingly more popular than I thought it would be. It is pretty fun (shooter on rails like Operation Wolf, but with zombies).
- super game......
- It tells my that you need the house of the dead CD or something like that please anyone help.
- @ramesh: there's more than one exe, I just checked. Could it be that your antivirus automatically deleted the EXEs? I guarantee that House of the Dead is virus free
- house of the dead exe file is not there
- nice game
- You are right Moldy... my mistake. I changed the system data accordingly.
- This is actually a Windows 95/Windows NT game and cannot be played on vanilla DOS.
I ran all of the executables in DOSBOX, a MSDOS 7.10 Virtual Machine, my stand alone ThinkPad running IBM DOS 4.01, and also my 2003 Dell Dimension 4600. It would only work when running under Win XP or 98 on my Dell.
