I know somewhat pointless due to a remake on the way. I have a lot of great memories playing the classic version on a few platforms. You get a few paths that alters boss fights to a degree. Most ports adds a lot to make it a truly replayable game. Original Mode is hands down the best mode. You also get Boss Rush mode as well as a firing mini game. There's some truly rememberable creature designs. Saving a lot of people can notably help you out. Otherwise just keep on shooting to find stuff or take out enemies. The soundtrack is absolutely amazing with some good sound effects. If you can get pass the not great voice acting. This is a fun game to play with a friend or family member.

we need more attention for the light gun games, gog would be a big help in collecting these to use on the sinden light gun. get them all another arcade classic
There's at least 4 HoTD games that received a PC Port (6 if we count 4 and Scarlet Dawn, those are actually PC Games into an arcade cabinet) And is a shame that the only way to play it nowdays is throug a bland remakes, it truly needs a release.

While there might be small love for the upcoming REMAKE, this little gem that's on abandonware sites should be recovered and make it work properly on actual PCs. GOG should do their magic with the actual PC releases (1 2 3, THE TYPING OF THE DEAD OVERKILL). Do not ask for 4 or 5, as these never released on PC (Even tho they're in an arcade cabinet)
Those games also need your vote!
