House of the Dead is an old horror-themed rail shooter game, developed and released by Sega in 1998. The whole gameplay can be summarized in a single sentence "a first-person 3D shooting gallery with zombies". House of the Dead runs on older version of Windows, so you may need a virtual machine to play it properly.
i have an ancient pirated installer that used to work just fine under windows 7 but will ask for a cd under windows 10. maybe is just the game doesn't work on windows 10. luckily for me i still got an old s478 system somewhere. hopefully it'll run there but not today.

Had this one for the Dream Cast along with Resident Evil to round of the horror survival shelf. Interesting to see it floating about and seemingly more popular than I thought it would be. It is pretty fun (shooter on rails like Operation Wolf, but with zombies).

@ramesh: there's more than one exe, I just checked. Could it be that your antivirus automatically deleted the EXEs? I guarantee that House of the Dead is virus free

You are right Moldy... my mistake. I changed the system data accordingly.

This is actually a Windows 95/Windows NT game and cannot be played on vanilla DOS. I ran all of the executables in DOSBOX, a MSDOS 7.10 Virtual Machine, my stand alone ThinkPad running IBM DOS 4.01, and also my 2003 Dell Dimension 4600. It would only work when running under Win XP or 98 on my Dell.
