Cabinet Information

This game is availible in two styles. The first is a regular upright cabinet with a 25-inch monitor that has both guns attached to the cabinet. There is also a model with a 45-inch rear-projection screen (contains the system boards and speakers) that has an attached gun holding/coin mechinism about 1.5 feet back from the screen.

Game Introduction

Your mission is to investigate the status of the mysteriously missing personnel at a genetic engineering center (The DBR Corporation) and of the first team of operatives sent to rescue them. You will also need to take defensive action and assist any survivors. During the mission, you will discover that the mad scientist Dr. Curien is the one resurecting the undead and you must stop him and his evil undead minions.

Game Play

The game is divided into four Chapters, each with its own end-boss: Armored Giant, Man-Bat, Giant Spider, and the "Magician." The game allows you to aim and destroy specific body parts. (i.e. you can blow off the arms of a chainsaw-wielding undead enemy), although blowing off their heads is the fastest way of killing them. You can also earn power-ups by saving scientists throughout the game, but if you shoot one, you will lose one of your own health levels.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.
