[@itsjustaclint8404]

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.

[@kabardino1337]

How they knew you beat the game with one token, since they saw you reusing the token?

[@itsjustaclint8404]

@ respect.

[@petr79]

@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.

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.

[@angry_zergling]

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.

[@GodOfOrphans]

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.

[@solidskullz5736]

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

[@alconfalcon]

I remember playing an original HOTD3 cabinet, and you actually had to reload it; rather than pointing outside the screen, like the last games, you had to pull back the handle. It was really unique, and I personally have never seen anything like that in any other arcade cabinet.

With the music off its even scarier the zombie sounds, machine sounds, death sounds and more all more sinister and horror vibe.

[@thevgmlover]

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.

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.

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.

[@manperson5315]

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.] Bullet Powerups: Power Up 1.2 - bullet power multiplied by 1.2(20% stronger) Power Up 1.5 - bullet power multiplied by 1.5(50% stronger) Power Up 2.0 - bullet power multiplied by 2.0(100% stronger) Bullet Blow - all monsters killed in ONE SHOT! Life Up: Life +2 - two more life torches Life +5 - five more torches Credit Up: Credit +2 - two more credits Credit +5 - five more credits Credit +10 - ten more credits Credit +Infinity - infinite credits Chamber Up: Chamber +2 - two more bullets in the chamber Chamber +4 - four more bullets in the chamber Chamber +8 - eight more bullets in the chamber Chamber +Infinity - no more reloading Costumes: Bruno Costume - A costume of Bruno Delinger, a protagonist from Sega's 1998 beat 'em up Dynamite Cop. Civilian Costume - A costume of a civilian. Amy Costume - An Amy Crystal costume. Harry Costume - A Harry Harris costume. Goldman Costume - A Caleb Goldman costume. Unlocked after completing Original Mode. Rogan Costume - A Thomas Rogan costume. G Costume - A G costume. Guns: Machine Gun - six bullets shot at one time, one ammo Shotgun - wider shot, two ammo Grenade Launcher - disappointing, three ammo Custom Air Gun - ping pong balls for ammo, twelve ammo Toy Gun - zapping sound, six ammo Other: Double Score - doubles your score Life 1/4 - monsters have 25% their life(not as good as Bullet Blow) First Aid Kit - Life Up in each barrel Primitive Meat - civilians have large hands and heads Rotten Meat - monsters have huge heads , excluding bosses Bass Lure - lure shot out by gun UFO?? - UFO appears in the sky occasionally, which you can shoot out for points And finally, for the red blood toggling, you have to finish the game first and then go the options, and you're good. For the rest of the game honestly, I'm just going to hook-up some sources.

i remember playing the hell out of this one and "Area 51" good times..

[@filipinowhiteboy]

Those were two of my favorite Arcades....mainly because I could actually make some headway in them. Both HoTD and Area51 are way easier than their sequels and thus, I could get a lot more enjoyment per quarter.

[@angry_zergling]

Area 51! In elementary school my mom and I would go to the arcade in the mall almost every Saturday and that's the one we played the most (in addition to Aliens 3 and the game in the video). "Entering hanger sector 1-8." "Check your targets people." "We-we-we we copy!" "RELOAD. RELOAD."

[@bombomos]

One time at a friend's birthday all the machines were free. So me and a friend beat Area 51. It was epic

[@czolgistta]

I remember like it was today the place where my parents used to go on vacation when I was 12 and that little obscure bar that had this game in its corner. I used to spend half my days there playing that game and was quickly able to beat it with one coin only. I became so well known for that that there was an audience of 9-12 kids and teens around me watching how I played and finished the game with that one coin. Oh the good times and epic game :D

[@dawsonweber99]

I don’t know what it is about the 4th game, but I absolutely loved that first level.

[@gaz6629]

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.

[@birdtoons9713]

I now beat this game in a arcade few day back. First time by myself then with my friend. And I plan to play the game again 10/10

[@entropy_9320]

Used to go to the mall arcade when I was a kid every Friday where they had Time Crisis 2, Crisis Zone, and The House of the Dead 1. These games were such a blast to play. I played these games so many times I somehow managed to be able to play through all 3 in a row without getting hit once in any of them. Literally memorized everything in each game. I really do miss these arcade classics. Thanks for the nostalgia trip lol

Everytime I hear the RUOOOORGHH SFX in any videogame or movie all that springs to mind is The Tower from HOT2. This entire series was my introduction to videogames and I have nothing but the utmost respect and love for it. Thanks for the amazing video.

[@Sco3000]

HotD 1 still might be my favorite arcade shooter. Time Crisis 3 was pretty good as well... and of course the Aerosmith and T2 games.

[@DobbsterLobbster]

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.

[@CliffuckingBooth]

Playing the very first THOTD is a total nostalgia for me. Also one of the first (and few) games I played in coop :)
