The House of the Dead 1 is a
first-person, light gun arcade game released in 1996 and internationally
in 1997 by Sega. Players assume the role of agents Thomas Rogan and “G”
in their efforts to combat the products of the dangerous, inhumane
experiments of Dr. Curien, a mad scientist.
The House of the Dead is a rail shooter light gun game. Players use a
light gun (or mouse, in the PC version) to aim and shoot at approaching
enemies. The characters’ pistols use magazines which hold 6 rounds;
players reload by shooting away from the screen. A set of torches next
to the magazine of each player represents remaining health. When a
player sustains damage or shoots a civilian, one of their torches is
removed. The player dies when all torches are lost. First-aid packs are
available throughout the game which restore one torch. These are found
either in the possession of civilians whom the player has rescued or
inside breakable objects. Similarly, there are also special items
located in breakable objects that will grant a bonus to whoever shoots
it.
