The House of the Dead is a first-person light gun shooter arcade game with a horror theme, released by Sega in Japan on September 13, 1996, and later internationally on March 4, 1997. It is the first game in the House of the Dead series. Players assume the role of agents Thomas Rogan and "G" in their efforts to combat the products of the dangerous, inhumane experiments of Dr. Curien, a mad scientist.

The House of the Dead has been, along with Resident Evil, credited with popularizing zombie video games, as well as re-popularizing zombies in wider popular culture from the late 1990s onwards, leading to renewed interest in zombie films during the 2000s. The House of the Dead has also been credited with introducing fast running zombies, which became popular in zombie films and video games during the 2000s.


The following weapons appear in the video game The House Of The Dead:


Handguns

Fictional Handgun

AMS agents Thomas Rogan and "G" use a fictional handgun called "AMS EATER Custom", the main weapons of House of the Dead 1. According to the game's guide book "The House of the Dead Official Guide", it is a heavily modified unknown handgun converted from 9×19mm to 50.AE. It is also equipped with enlarged ambidextrous safety lever, magazine release and single-column 6 rounds magazine. The render's official artwork resembles a custom M1911, similar to a Colt Mk IV Series 80 Combat Elite. In-game, Rogan's pistol seems to resemble a Glock 17, while G's resembles a Colt M1911, though.
