![]() The House of the Dead Sega's The House of the Dead is a simple yet devilishly fun game of violence, gore and slaying. One or two players can take on the role of special agents investigating reports of mass murder at the DBR research laboratory. Upon arrival at the lab they discover a few dead research workers and a horde of zombies, and here the splatterfest begins.

![]() After
all enemies in an area are killed, you are moved to a new area and the slaying begins
anew. Although there is no direct control over movement, it is possible to take different
paths through the game depending on whether certain civilians are saved from the undead or
allowed to perish. Saving civilians is worth doing because they will reward you with a
bonus life. However, if you shoot a civilian by mistake you will lose a life. The controls are simple left mouse button to shoot, right mouse button to reload. The mouse allows easy and accurate positioning of the crosshair, but keyboards, gamepads and joysticks are also supported. Using a keyboard is not recommended, as it is rather slow in positioning the crosshair. A light gun would be the ideal input device but unfortunately there is no support for one yet. Sega says it is still keen to find one that will work, and will release a patch if it does.
