The House of the Dead will always hold a special place in my heart for the time that my girlfriend and I played it at an arcade on one of our earlier dates. We later went back to it and completed it in that same arcade. Great music and atmosphere, funny gore and super silly voice acting. I like this game and its whole series, very fun and good!!!

Played this on the Sega Model 2 emulator today. It works, and the game looks awesome. Classic SEGA style.
