Need help identifying an arcade machine.

bonerm

All I can remember about it is that it was one of those gun-operated games where you point the gun down to reload. It was a two player game and you were fighting against zombies. I'm guessing it was on the go in the mid-1990s.

Sorry that isn't much to work on. Hope you can identify it. Thanks!

The House of the Dead ?

Thanks Trout. That certainly fits the bill. However I've looked at a few level1 playthrus of HOTD 1 and 2 on youtube and it doesn't seem quite right.

Was there any other games that copied this style in the intervening years?

I can think of a few two player light gun games with zombies ... can you remember anything else ... any more clues?

try any of the AREA 51,Area 51 site 4,Maxium force etc

bonerm

Thanks Mitchomagic. However the game I'm thinking of definitely had that "house of the dead / resident evil" horror vibe to it rather than the military/mutants vibe your games seem to have.

I'm guessing maybe it was HOTD1 (and I've just forgotten the particulars) or maybe some spin-off/copycat from that series.

Was Ninja Assault an arcade cab? I have the Ps2 version. I suppose all light guns games are ports. And to the OP I am afraid I cannot aid you

Might you be mistaking Zombies for Mummies?

Like House Of The Dead, it was also made by SEGA.
