Notably, many of the zombies in the games are fast-moving, which was unheard of in the mid '90s, long before 28 Days Later, which brought agile undead to the big screen.
The stories, characters and dialog are absurd, but in the best way possible. Originally released in 1996, House of the Dead leans hard into its campy style.

But while nothing can match the experience of exchanging a $10 bill for a pile of quarters and binging on some games with your friends, many of the classics have made their way to consoles and PCs.
