Description of The House of the Dead

Read Full Description

The House of the Dead is a "rail shooter" - a kind of game I have not seen before on a PC platform although it is well known for arcade fans.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the expression "rail shooter": unlike the usual first-person shooters such as Quake, Doom and so on, in House of the Dead you are not able to choose the directions yourself, only where the game wants you to go. So all that is left to you is shooting on anything that moves :-) Think Rebel Assault on foot, and you'll have a good idea of what HOTD is about.

The story is rather simple. Your girlfriend Sarah leaves a message on your answering machine, telling you she has been captured by a guy called Curien. You, being the chip of the Hero, want to rush out to the place in order to free her. That is where the game begins. As you are 'led' by the game around a place overcrowded with zombies and monsters of all kind, you will constantly be busy shooting, no more, no less. Even though the only weapon you have is a plain 9mm-pistol, that thing obviously leaves holes in bodies in gory manners that are definitely not suitable for kids. Let me say this way: "losing your head" gets a whole new meaning when playing The House of the Dead ;-)

There are quite a few options to toggle. The game plays as well with or without Direct-X support, depending on the options you select. The graphics will remind you of Alone in the dark and similar games, but with more detail. German Authorities (and most likely other as well) will be glad to hear that you can alter the color of blood in the game (yellow, blue, green, red). You can also choose from several gameplay modes, chiefly "arcade" which gives you fixed settings you cannot alter, and "PC mode" where you can choose your avatar, and along with him alter the damage he does as well as the chamber-size of the pistol. The "Reload" option of the gun can be switched on and off, and the lives you have can be set from 1 to 5. The game also features the "Boss-Mode" where you can train only the bosses at the end of each stage.

You have to fight your way through 4 stages, at the end of each awaits some sort of boss ...so nothing really surprising here either. While fighting the bosses of the first 3 stages you get a firm information sheet where to shoot to harm your opponents. The 4th (and last one) just offers you an "unknown type" so you have to find out how to defeat this one yourself.

As you can tell by now, its a rather common and 'uninteresting' implementation of an usual setting. What makes HOTD more challenging and unique compared to other shooters is the fact that you have to be careful not to shoot innocent civilians. If you accidentally shoot them, it will cost you a life. On the other hand, rescuing them (by shooting the monsters around them) will get you an extra-live as well as increase your score, or can open up optional paths. Therefore, although HOTD is a rail shooter, it offers a certain amount of nonlinear gameplay. Some of the directions you can alter are quite obvious, while others are hidden behind trapdoors. Also bonus-gems (why these had to be frogs only SEGA will know) can be found hidden within the game.

I hate shooters. Especially FPS's. Perhaps it's really not my kind of game, on the other hand maybe perhaps I am just hopeless at them ;-). But in some sick way I enjoyed HOTD for the 4 hours it lasted. Most probably because you can toggle the settings in such a way that it makes the game easier :-) And that is the problem with this game in my opinion: I think it won't be suitable for hardcore shooter-fans out there due to limited gameplay and weapons.

On the other hand I cannot think of anybody else for whom it might be suitable. But if you (like myself two days ago) just want to 'let off steam', lack classics like Space Invaders, and you are not too sensitive about "bloody" gameplay, you may want to try HOTD.

If you want a rail shooter with a more varied and longer gameplay, try the sequel The House of the Dead 2 instead. Recommended, but with reservations.

Se abre una ventana de windows32 y se queda un rato luego pide CD ROOM no encontrado
AYUUDAAAA

Jungkring 2024-02-24 9 points Windows version

Finally, I found a strange way.

When I tried to run the RIP version, I also get the "CD-ROM..." problem then I tried to download the Disk Image version, and because the file was ".img" so I had to install an application such as DAEMON TOOLS but instead found a problem with the game not can be installed, and when I try to run the RIP version again, and HORAAYYY, THE GAME CAN RUN WELL.

and when I tried to uninstall the DAEMON TOOLS application, the "CD-ROM..." problem appeared again when I tried to run the RIP version.

I don't understand what causes this to happen, but hopefully this method can help all of you

Users ZAMANI and RAINSTORM have posted, and linked, to an alternative gamefile download that they claim "works on modern windows" in this comment section. After downloading their suggested file from the links they shared, and uploading them to VirusTotal to check for malware/viruses, those linked version were found to contain trojans. Admin's note: those are false positive, it's safe to use

tried to run de rip version using the batch file but I can only change some graphics parameters...
I tried the CD version the I applied a nocd crack found on gamecopy world. The crack worked so the .exe doesn't ask for the cd, but the game doesn't start.

I found a better solution on a site called Abandonware France. They uploaded a modified version that works on modern Windows: https://www.abandonware-france.org/ltf_abandon/ltf_jeu.php?id=2056&fic=liens

Although the repetitive, linear aspects of this game can become a little daunting, such games give the player the opportunity to continually improve - rather like those scenarios used by law enforcement. The more you play, the more you'll progress - the lack of random events guarantees this. If nothing else, this and similar games give us an opportunity to continually improve our accuracy and other skills, which come In very handy for other shooters of all kinds. Keep at It - you'll get there soon enough!

Listen up gais.

How to access THOTD Rip Version:

Ok I downloaded the rip version alone but any methods that you guys do doesn't work and it needs CD Rom but its quick and easy without needing Daemon Tools or applying DirectX 9.0 (mine is 32-bit Windows 7 and I already installed during the DMC 4 setup package)

You just download two files: One is rip version and one is ISO (the ISO Version tends to be a CD Rom of actual game)

Then extract both rip and ISO (you noticed the ISO has two files of hotd.bin and hotd.cue) and its either you drag, move, and copy the two ISO files and insert it to rip version.

Then click the hotd.bat and you're ready to go.

Those who are struggled installing the game, don't download the rip version alone. It needs an actual ISO to prevent "noCD Insert" issues.

Mine looks good (I attempt to speedrun) but the problem is no music applied. I reinstall the game from the another source with music.

thomas rogan 2021-06-05 4 points

i made this tutorial for those who want to play in windowed mode

1. download and install dxwnd

2. once installed extract the files and put them to a folder of your choice

3. run dxwnd

4. right click on the white screen and click add

5. you'll be greeted with a panel showing name of the game, and path of the executable, and a launch option. launch is not needed.

6. enter the name of the game (i.e. The House of the Dead) in the text bar and click a ... (3 dots) icon next to the text bar

7. find game executable in the directory (thotd.exe)

8. click the "video" bar on the top

9. switch the window style to "default" and check the "lock win style" below the modal style

10. find the window size & position section in the video settings, once you found them, change them to "anchored"

11. find screen resolution (in video section) and change "svga" to "all"

12. in the screen resolution section, turn on limit resolution and click 800x600

13. next click the "DirectX" bar on the top

14. change the renderer from "primary buffer" to "SDL2"

15. click "Try" and launch the game. it will have little problems with the mouse positioning in the menu, but overall works fine. if you have a bigger resolution click the "Main" bar on the top and go to the "Position" section and change the size to a size suitable for your monitor (i.e. w(idth) 1280 h(eight) 1024) enjoy!

This PC port sucks, you'll be better off downloading the original NAOMI board arcade ROM, and running it under Model 2 emulator instead. It ironically is easier to set up than this half-arsed PC port, that unlike the Saturn version, doesn't have any redeeming factors, for the Saturn it was higher quality soundtrack, this one uses the arcade's music instead, but if you don't have the original CD, you can't even get the music.

Awesome game! Everything is great! Good memories. The only thing is that I had trouble with audio music. It had sound fx but no music. Did anyone else have this problem too?

To anyone looking to download it, it's more worth it to take a chance and find the Dreamcast version and a Dreamcast. This one never installed no matter how hard I tried

The very first horror/unreal whatever you may call it game I ever played as well as one of the best FPS titles with simple but memorable storyline.

Well....It's quite apparent I can't get it to run on Windows 10. Meaning I'll have to get lucky enough to find the games files.

Ppl listen... First end the process of explorer.exe, then run the game exe.

Follow this-
Copy the following code and paste it in notepad.

taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe
.exe
start explorer.exe

Now save the file as .bat. Its done, now paste this file in the House of Dead game folder. Double click that bat. Game on.

CTF 2018-09-15 0 point

it works but there is no music and sometimes the sound also cuts off

helper11 2018-09-12 32 points

In the rip version there is thotd.exe . Right click it and choose create shortcut. Now Right click thotd.exe - shortcut and choose properties.

Go to the Target box and click in it.
Now move your cursor to the end of thotd.exe"
Press space bar once and then type -d3d -d3d_setup

So it should now read thotd.exe" -d3d -d3d_setup
Press ok

Now just double click that thotd.exe shortcut and it will load .

Or you could just skip all that and double click on thotd3d.bat to load the game.
