Do you actually liked the buds??
Yes, i guess
Play this game a lot in my local arcade, one of my go to game
they don't even fucking ship to australia
This, Time Crisis, Area 51, The Lost World Jurassic Park, Carnevil, etc. Good times.
Good lord CarnEvil.
Imagine the soul of Postal 2 inside an arcade light-gun cabinet.
Don’t forget Crypt Killer!
Bro carnevil was the shit! I spent so much money playing as a child!
The Lost World Jurassic Park was a blast
Crisis Zone is great as well
Harry Harris is a perfectly acceptable name Gman, I don’t see the issue
Laughed way too hard at this 😂
Took me 5 seconds to realize what your name was
Holy shit that's absolutely hilarious. Nice!

reminds me of dani daniels
Fun fact, in one version of the second game, instead of throwing himself off the roof, Goldman pulls a ‘I have to go now, my planet needs me.’ And flies up
Isn't that typing of the dead?
@@dooplon5083 I think so
@@fireblast133 There are multiple ending if you play as original mode (the mode that let you pick bonus if I remember the name correctly). I remember an ending where Goldman jump off the roof then a big ass explosion happens and another ending where Goldman jump off then bungee back to the roof lmao
Like a true GAMER
to protect the life cycle
i got a seizure from watching through all the flashes from the first game
Relatable.
I have to watch this in the morning. Im about to get one from watching in the dark
I will always remember the "I dont wanna die!" Npc guy from the second game.
^
I spent many haunted nights as a young one thinking about him.
Me too bruh 😂😂😂😂
Aaaahhhhh *drops dead
So true
Old comment, but I've laughed like an 8 year old for years and years at that one woman who says, "Don't come!" in House of the Dead 2.
If you're lucky enough, after killing magician, there's a cut scene of a zombie Sophie right after the end credits.
Yeaaah, there was! Man this is so nostalgic
no its not. If you didn't do good enough, you get the bad ending which is the zombie sophie.
MrRazmon Nah it’s even more schizophrenic. You can only get it if you didn’t use any continues but didn’t score high enough.
So, paradoxically, you need to be really good to get the bad ending.
@@JXZX1 if you're TO good to do no continues tho. Still thats kinda dumb.
Wait, what?
Watching this at 3am is like watching multiple flash bangs going out
Yeah holy shit. I’m watching it on a tv in my room in the dark and Jesus Christ my eyes are bleeding.
Went through half the video without noticing. Read this comment. Now I’m dying. How
Yeah I had to turn the brightness all the way down to endure it
After 3 years did you finally figure out to turn the brightness down or maybe put a lamp on to even the light? How dumb can people be like seriously
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was known back then in my local arcade for beating the game with one token. How'd I did this? Well the arcade cabinet of our House of the Dead (1 , 2 , and 3) can be wired and those times security cams weren't good to be depended on.
Since the thing below the box can be opened (because of it not having a lock) and you can just open the thing and just keep putting the token and take it back by that process.
Damn those were times I literally was ripping off the place but they didn't cared about it tho for some reason even if tho I got caught like 5 times. They're still running until now.
How they knew you beat the game with one token, since they saw you reusing the token?
@ respect.
@Stefano Pavone
You could do the same trick with a fishing wire . If you folded the edge correctly you could insert it in the coin slot and get infinite tokens. Though you had to be discreet in order not to get caught. Eg if the mal owner saw 99 credits you were screwed.
FBI: Ladies and gentlemen, we got them
Same time as Time Crisis and Resident Evil
"I am X! I am everything, I am nothing. The universe started with me and ended with me.
Mankind's rule is at end. I shall destroy all the living. Eternity is waiting!"
5 mins later:
*Dies by a handgun*
"Life is a delicate performance, in which we are but actors. Yet, we now pose an existential threat to life. This must be corrected.
That's why I'm cloning ninja zombies with claw-hands that wear little suits and fedoras."
The Alpha and the Omega killed by bullets.
accurate
When I was a kid my parents split up, so when I would go see my father he would take me to the movie theater's which had a arcade inside. Our favorite game was House of the Dead 2.
That was my exact childhood except my dad loved the 1st one
House of the Dead was my SHIT man
I was 10 years old when I first saw the house of the dead arcade machine, every time i saw that machine it made me scared as a kid lol

This guys memory is incredible, the amount of references he can make in each review is impressive.
Finally, one of the most iconic light gun games in history!
The nostalgia of this game is overwhelming
"Apparently that was a hell of a slap"
(Watches an 8 foot monster smack a 150 pound woman with a giant battleaxe)
Well it was quite a slap

@Charlie Vetsworth how about you stop calling a country a "ameritard" and just use google or a calculator to translate that to the metric units like everyone else
I hate Chariot (Tarot Card)
I beat the first game back in 1999 with just under $5 at a local arcade. I was a sweaty mess, my body hurt and my eyes ached but I felt accomplished. Never played another light gun game after that but it left me with great memories!
Great content. Keep at it.
What a goddess
I've played House of the Dead at numerous arcades growing up and I have yet to actually beat it.
@@MikeJr9284 I agree, can't wait for House of the Dead upcoming new games
House of the Dead 3 was one of my favorite arcade games to play back then. I got so good at the game that I managed to complete the whole game with one coin. I still remember the crowd of people standing behind me being absolutely bewildered. My hands were sweaty and my finger got blisters from shooting so fast. I developed a technique to use two fingers to shoot really fast. It was basically a machine gun at that point, not a shotgun. Really fun game but really freaking hard.
legend
dope
Damn I forgot how bad the flashes where in this game lol
G: *About to save Sophie*
Chariot: I'm gonna do what's called a pro gamer move.
Chariot just busts into the room from the ceiling and then yeets Sophie. Absolute madman.
Technically Thomas is trying to save Sophie on account of her being his wife.
No, Polnareff, don't say the N-word!
Actually, she survive in best ending
@@user-ct8dm7ez4r There's other offensive words he can say after part 3...
7:29 I can imagine the JoJo fans want to play House of the Dead after this.
SILVER CHARIOT!
I played the crap out of House of The Dead 2 on the Dreamcast when I was 8yrs old. Was one of my favorite Dreamcast games and I still feel obligated to sacrifice a couple coins whenever I see one of the arcade cabinet versions. It's been awhile but I think House of The Dead 2 also had branching paths and where you went depended on who you saved or how well you did. I might not remember it correctly cuz it was 20yrs ago.
I remember like 20 people crowding around two teenagers who made it to the last level of House of the Dead 4 and everyone was watching in amazement because nobody had ever made it that far. It was beautiful, like a once in a lifetime event lol
That was me a couple times. But then I ran out of money and nobody wanted to loan me. They wanted my spot which was lame.
One time I had enough and dual gunned my way through half before ppl got mad and I let some random guy play with me
cue Chariots of Fire..
7:38 so you shoot the armor off, then shoot the skin off..
"the longer the icon of sin stays on earth the stronger he'll become"
Yeah and you cannot just shoot a hole onto the surface of Mars.
the third game was my favorite. shooting a shotgun in the arcade just felt so badass lol
I just love how the graphics looks for HoTD 1 and 2...
The arcade versions, that is.
It's that transition between high quality ps1-like looks to the ps2, and I just love it.

I was disappointed there was no Overkill
@@TheWonderfulShade the voice acting there was mmh
I was disappointed there was no pinball.
what about spin off Zombie Revenge?
I was disappointed there was no Sega Golden Gun.
12:55 When you get saved but actually wanted to die.
I remember playing The House of the Dead 2 with my dad on the Dreamcast, along with the weird gun (actually not the one you showed, I had a different one). It was a pretty wild game
By the way at 14:35 - I'm pretty sure Judgement also has a weak spot in that tiny hole in his armour, just above his waist
Happy to see the Gman getting sponsored.
But let me tell you Sonny Jim - if you ever gonna do a sponsored Video for Raid, you're DEAD TO ME
Tbh some are so good that i don't mind
raycon isn't much better, they are overpriced crap
Remember the secure feeling of having a ton of quarters on you when your parents dropped you off at the mall or movie theater??? Probably spent a couple hundred bucks in the late 90's - early 2000's on these arcades. There was a decent Star Trek one too wherein whenever you had to reload it would say "REMODULATE".
I remember that. you sat down in it to play it, right?
you did!
I have such fond memories of the time I played through all of Time Crisis 2 on $5. It took quite a while, too.
Parents now a days will never be able to feel the joy of dropping their kid off at the arcade and having a few hours of relaxation.. Not that they arent trying, letting the internet raise their kids and so on.
I used to play House of the Dead because I only had that game for a whole year and my god, it was so much fun. I had forgotten everything about it but just watching these few clips were enough to bring back the great memories. Goddamn, being a kid is truly the pinnacle in a man's life.
I remember back when I was in elementary school (3th and 4th grade) my mother would go to the mall every Saturday and I would go with her. I would save up all my quarters and we would go to the arcade in the mall and we would play these shooting games together. Our favorites were Area 51, Aliens 3, and this one.
Good times. Was something magical about going to the arcade.
One of the reason I purchased a Dreamcast was so I could play HoTD 2. Me and my Dad spent hours playing original mode.
HotD 2 on Dreamcast was amazing for the time.
I had this weird version where you had to type words to kill them I also had the normal version with this cool light gun and this weird memory card that was like a mini Gameboy that slotted into the light gun. Good Times
@@graytoby1 that's the typing of the dead, and the memory card was a VMU lol
Did you play this with the standard pad? I feal sorry for your thumb
Same dude this and sonic adventure and ready to rumble
The voice acting of the sequel never gets old lmaoo
Especially Goldman. I've seen his infamous "this is the final battle" scene almost a dozen times and I've burst out laughing every time
Suffer like g did?
@@wentoneisendon6502 That's the one! lol
hurry friends
James. Go and prevent the confusion in the city.
Then you got the final boss named "the world"
me playing the game: yare yare daze
Za warudo has no weakness
Sadly, the emperor in house of the dead wasn’t Hol Horse
the final boss being named "the world" is so "we live in a society" lmao
It's pretty funny that the first handful of bosses are all the Tarots associated with JoJo's, Chariot, Hermit, Magician and Hierophant lmao
JOJO REFERENCE
It was pretty cool how the arcade cabinets for 1 - 4 had different gun plastic models (with reload options) modeling the weapons used ingame, HOTD1 had a small pistol, HOTD2 had a bigger pistol closer to a revolver, HOTD3 had the pump shotgun and HOTD4 had the Uzi/Ingram type gun.
When a Sega game loads up: "SAY GAH"
Gman: "See ga"
Alot of people here in Australia pronounce it that way. I know I did as a kid, until I 1st saw the bit in sonic 3 where it Sega "SAY GAH" and since then I've said it that way. And yeah, I kinda still cringe when I hear other Aussies say it "see gah" >.
see ga
Funny thing is in Italy "Say Gah" means Wank. Yep.
It's like how some Americans pronounce it as 'Seh Gah'. Everyone has heard the word pronounced in various Sega games, and yet they still don't pronounce it correctly. It baffles the mind.
Seh gah in Scotland too
This series is the ultimate stonks of the 90's
Let's use a gory Virtua Cop to appease everyone
And they did it
Also... Hydro thunder.
And those jurrasic park and star wars cabinets
Virtua Cop 2 was the shit. I love going guns akimbo with that game.
Stonks lol
I like it Virtua Cop 2.
The "r-re-re-re-r-re-relo-re-reload" was the soundtrack to me.
There was never any black curtain around this machine here in the US; at any arcade I ever went to. It was there for all to see.
I almost cried when you talked so much good stuff about hotd 1 and 2. I grew up by playing those. These 2 were and still are my fav arcade games. Thank you.
You're welcome
1 and 2 are awesome..3 is alright and 4 and dawn are garbage
Jeez, that gunfire flashing makes me feel like I'm going to have a seizure.
I'm glad I'm not the only non-epileptic who feels like an epileptic watching this.
It’s way more worse when it’s night
The reason it does that is it’s how the game tells where you fired the gun
Thank god there is an easy available lua script for the Sega model 2 emulator that removes the flash for the first game
Who would win?

I've managed to flawless the Empress in House of the Dead 4. The key is to remember that only the head takes damage so you need to make sure you aren't wasting your ammo with body shots when she is above or on the side of the train. The blue reticle on the monochromatic blue model kinda makes it harder to see where her actual hurtbox is so it's really easy to waste ammo with body shots without even realizing it. She follows the same route and attack pattern each time though so with some memorization you should be able to lead your shots when she goes behind one of the doors which blocks her hitbox and hit her as she becomes vulnerable again instead of wasting ammo and not having enough time to reload.
I remember going on a school trip to a bowling ally and just blitzing Time Crisis 4 and House of Dead 4, good times
it is sad that there are still no perfect emulation for 3 and 4 on pc.
@@zxc930213 3 has a native PC version tho...
A shame it hasn't been ported out, because Scarlet Dawn is actually super fun in the arcade cabinet. Introduces new weapons you have limited ammo for at the start of each stage and can switch out to at any time.
The thing is SD is too short. I like the art style though
The OG 1996 game will still be my most fav, will never forget Hangedman's iconic sinister "nobody leaves here alive" line as he takes away Sophie and his batty giant vampire like figure, ability to commands bats to attack you, nearly throwing you down from the roof and throwing two scientists to their deaths cold heartedly and the mansion itself the blood near the entrance, a true horror game gem! With the music off its even scarier the zombie sounds, machine sounds, death sounds and more all more sinister and horror vibe.
Just a note here regarding the reference to Shatner and Flying High.
Flying High was the AU and NZ title of Airplane!
In the context of the video it refers to Airplane II: The Sequel.
That should make it easier to find
House of the Dead 2 experts, did I miss something when they obveously start in Venice, then proceed to the Colloseum? Like in Rome? Isnt that a 6 hour drive on a good day?
Well, they did go by boat...and through some sewers...(but yeah, geography is probably out of whack)
@Winston Smith Get back in the freezer.
This is the same version of Italy where all the cars are right-hand drive so...
It's an arcade game...
Alex Radice yeah..............
I remember playing these games a lot as roller rinks when I was a kid, me and my friend would play it every time we went and we spent all of our tokens to beat it
15:35 actually if you're doing really well in the game and you haven't taken damage in a while, the Tower will start attacking with 2 heads at a time. The Magician increases in difficulty if you're doing well too, getting faster and faster and once his little after-image movements glow white instead of red then you know he's at max speed and "I want you to put more money in."-mode.
That Explains Why He Wasnt Going Red Or Blue When He Moved
I remember being a kid looking for all the emulators of these shooters. Took me a while but now I can *somewhat* play HoTD4 on PC, which brought a tear to my eyes
"dogs of the ams, TIMETHEYMADEAMOVE"
Goldman is simultaneously the most heinous, yet the most relatable villain in gaming history, if not all of fiction
Patali while I agree with Goldman trying to restore the "Life Cylce", but turning everyone or creating a genetically biohazard hostile creatures/mutants(or in this case, zombies) isnt really helping the eco system. But hey, its just a video game
@@Somespideronline wrong. You know nothing of the loife cycle
@@Palendrome yeah so relatable dr connors from the amazing spider-man did the same thing
@@Somespideronline kinda uninspired tbh
@@jefftakesdscakes30 exactly lol
Also the second game, in stage 2 and 3, has different boss arenas depending on your actions. Also a cool fact about stage 3. Depending on what arena you fight in stage 2 you actually go backwards in stage 3 from that arena. For example; You fight stage 2 boss on the actual bridge (A path) you end up by the wooden bridge and fight the stage 3 boss. If you fight on the wooden bridge (B path) you will end up near Sunset bridge for the boss fight for stage 3. Stage 4 has 2 different starting areas as well depending on the path you take in stage 3.
I actually played the third one on arcade, and while it was wasn't easy it was rare to see a shotgun shooter in an arcade, and let me tell you reloading with a working pump action on the gun was one of the most satisfying gaming experiences I have ever encountered.
Seeing how you talked about House of the Dead, I think it's only fair to cover the other well known *Or rather lesser* rail shooters like TIme Crisis, Ninja Assault and Vampire Night.
Edit: Bonus points if you mention the Jurassic Park arcade rail shooters too.
Yes! Someone else that actually knows Ninja Assault and Vampire Night! Two of Namco’s most underrated series. I love Time Crisis as well. 2 is my favorite of that series
Ninja assault was wild I remember in xenosaga episode 1 they had an in game ad for it
We ABSOLUTELY need a time crisis video. I've found a new youtube niche.
Jade Rabbit Can’t forget golden gun.
Yeah, man! I used to play all these games on arcade. Old good memories.
I remember back when I was a young tween a Friend and I had a blast playing House of the Dead 4 in an arcade. We ended up spending about $50 and made it all the way to about the 4th level. It may not have been the greatest game in the series but that was one memory I'm not going to forget anytime soon.
I looooved how many little secrets there were in HotD2. Like shooting a cat that appears or the boots of cars to find hidden weapons inside.
I remember way back in like 2006 when I was 15 me and a group of friends that I met on a cruise all chipped in and we ended up beating HOTD2, HOTD4, and Area 51/Maximum Force. Between the four of us we spent a lot less individually by essentially “passing the stick”. I actually remember that being the first time seeing a HOTD4 cabinet.
This game was so good. I miss the old ones.
But my preferred arcade shooter was Lost World Jurassic Park
That was great too, except when some nuggets would sling globs of shit at you as projectiles; dunno why that fucked me up
Typing of the dead was my jam!
Genuinely helped me become a better typist
same here, man ...
House Of The Dead 2 & 3 on the Wii was actually my introduction to the series. The difference between these versions, aside from how you aim, is the amount of extra content outside the main game, I think.
2 has two challenge modes. One tests certain aspects of your shooting abilities at three different difficulties each, and the other is a time attack against bosses. On top o' that, there's two ways to play the main game. Arcade is just the main game as is, but Original Mode lets you equip all sorts of different bonuses and extras such as a larger magazine, damages booster, shoot the UFO, and even weapons like a double-barrel shotgun, grenade launcher, and a bass lure launcher.
3 has only two unlockable main game modes, but they make the game way more replayable: Time attack takes you through the whole on a short time limit, but you can increase it by playing skillfully and hunting for bonuses, and Extreme mode locks you in solo, makes enemies tougher, and your shotgun is essentially a rifle now (in other words, AIM CAREFULLY), but it gives you a faster reload, and a melee attack.
Just reminds me of being at laser tag, and they had the arcade machines in the waiting area always with these games
"I'll probably do a video on House of the Dead Overkill in the future."
That's got me veeeeery interested. The game's dialogue hit me like an ice cream truck barreling down the road.
Overkill reminds me of Zombieland
Used to play this at the Arcade, it's cool you reviewing it. Now I'm going to watch the video, thanks for the video
Man Gman I wish you would upload more often this is quality content.
This was the first video I’d seen of yours and instantly I was enthralled by your opening. I love ou
the first house of the dead was literally my childhood, I remember playing it in secret on my parents shitty computer and finishing it over and over again. The different sound effects and voice lines are forever imbedded into my mind.

Just played first two games in an arcade/videogame museum and had to go and watch stuff about them as soon as I got back home because they were so fun. Never heard of them before today
Having recently watched JoJo's, I can't help but notice how similar The Lovers look in this game compared to Araki's rendition. Also, Chariot seems ridiculously similar as well - right down to losing their armour.
I'm not going crazy, am I?
There are plenty of japanese games with references to jojo so it's pretty possible that might be the actual intent
João Loução or Jojo referencing them.
Is ThAT a JoJo REfEreNce?!

I mean, all of the bosses in the game are based on the tarot cards, which also were stands are based on
16:57 "Flying High"? We know it as "Airplane!" in the States.
as a really young kid I remember playing HoTD 4 at an arcade and I can't believe this game actually has a series with an actual story, though I was too young to make it to one boss
The skating rink near my house had a HoTD 2 machine and I used to play it while trying to balance on ice skates. On weekdays all the machines were free.

Gee, I wonder why that is.

You can turn that off though.
I LOVED playing this as a kid at the arcade growing up. Me and a friend went from blowing 20 bucks on a run through to 5 bucks bucks between us both. I want to say I was 9 or 10 and it was 1998. I was so in love with the series that I bought HOTD3 for the Xbox with the light gun attachment for at home. Oh Nostalgia.
The local truckstop had a diner we used to frequent when I was a little kid. It had a small arcade in the back, and I used to be absolutely terrified to walk down the hallway to it because of house of the dead preplay video going
If anybody has the chance to play House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn do it, the game is super fun in arcade and it is as violent if not even more than previous games, you are set against bigger hordes compared to previous HOTD, and you have to mow them down with machine guns and rocket launchers. Good times.
I had a chance to do so in Florida a couple of months ago, but ended up passing on it. I regret not playing it :(
wish they would release it as a playstation vr game
shutcho goofy ass! its even worse than overkill even if it got some of the best graphics ever
arcades are basically all gone here, so... gonna wait for that crappy conversion, I guess...
I remember when Sega Gameworks still existed and me and my buddy beat HOTD 2 opening dayh in one go with only like 8 lives each.
We had a crowd around us by the end and yes, people did applaud when we finally beat it.
I fucking miss OG arcades, why did Sega have to fuck up so hard...
damn, that feeling must be amazing, nothing feels like flexing your skills on strangers in person
Wdym screw up
@@jefftakesdscakes30 They shut down all the Gameworks arcades in the late 2000's. They should have at least kept open the ones in New York, LA, Philly, and Orlando.

I’ll always remember hearing the voice saying “RELOAD” and beating this game solo in an arcade with just like $3.
The fedora bit gave me a good laugh
My favorite light gun series , a mix of virtua cop and an Italian zombie movie. My favorites are 2 and 3. I have the Wii port of 2 and 3 , it's a great port. Love these games
Same, right up with Time Crisis. Most favorite is 1 though I'd love to give 2 another chance again.
The wii port is great, has a lot of extra challenges. Cool bonus.
"There's even zombies with mallets, chainsaws and fleshlights." @8:36
The mall in my area had HOD3 cabinets with shotgun light guns, completed with functional pump racks. That shit was rad af
where's Overkill & Scarlet ? Scarlet has a wind blower to your face to simulate 4D and runs on Unreal 4 it's neat !
Overkill was not a arcade game,its a console game
@@oreofoxgamerx6028 yeah but overkill was still very good. Also kinda disappointed that he didn’t talk about scarlet.
Holy smokes you brought up The Secret World of Alex Mack..where's the youtube love button....dammit
Fun fact about Thomas Rogan in the third game: Thomas is voiced by Terence McGovern who some of you may know him best as either Larry in Telltale's The Walking Dead or Launchpad in the original DuckTales.
It should be noted that number 3 in the arcade didn't have a shotgun animation on screen because you was using an actual shotgun lightgun that you had to cock to reload, I loved this feature. I also played it on the original Xbox back in 2003.
It's so great to see this series being talked about today. Such a fun game this is.
Also, Sega needs to stop playing around and give us what we really want. An ACTUAL good remaster of HOTD1 for the PC with online co-op.
Imagine this on VR I would actually buy a VR set for it
I remember playing one of these at a retro arcade, me and my buddy had a blast, We wouldn't stop shooting survivors though...

In-depth explanation over the two crucial ports of HOTD2 below. Warning : Too Long; Don't Read. [?]
In the PC and the Wii ports of HOTD2, not only do they have HOTD1 level options, but different modes as well, including the Original Mode which I will elaborate on later. There's also the Practice Mode which is self-explanatory, giving you a set of levels to test your skills on each part of the game's action itself, which is just mostly shooting.
There's also a Boss Rush mode, with each boss having a 5-set difficulty level which goes up whenever you defeat the boss, but you can set it just at about any rate you want [first rate to fifth rate], so there's that. Arcade mode is well, Arcade, obviously.
In the PC and Wii ports, there are many secret items/assets plotted throughout the main levels of the game that you can interact/loot, although I am unsure about the Arcade version since it doesn't have any customizable content [Score/Health Assets are the exception]. Some of the secret items give you a different route through the mission, such as the 'key to the gate' from Level 2 'Muddy'. As for the others, they're either just there for you to get extra points, or some features which give you advantages the next time to pop in Original Mode, such as infinite health, costumes and even an entire arsenal of weapons, including the Machine Gun, Shotgun, Grenade Launcher, Toy Gun and the Air Gun.
Hell, there are even DIFFERENT ENDINGS ranging from Normal, Bad and Good determined by the following 4, of which they are :
1. If a solo game was finished as either player 1 or 2
2 .If both players defeated the last boss
3. Number of continues
4. Points earned
All endings have their own cutscenes, my favourite being the Bad Ending solely due to how cheesy it is.
And here comes the massive arsenal of customization within Original Mode, of which I copied and pasted it here from an old but useful guide [www.neoseeker.com/housedead2/faqs/16804-house-of-the-dead-2-b.html by SloDeth and published/hosted by Neoseeker.]
