It was never worth the extra token back then, but that's the beauty of owning these suckers. We'd suggest grabbing a friend for these two classic arcade experiences, but with the ease of the Wii remotes it's also extremely rewarding to grab one controller in each hand, and dual-wield like you always dreamed of doing in arcades. For a quick $30 players can pick up this two-game set, grab a couple Wii remotes, and blast though the 1998 House of the Dead 2, and 2002's House of the Dead III (now renamed to '3') respectively.

House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn is to-date the most linear game in the main series unlike The House of the Dead III, the order in which the middle three levels are selected does not alter the paths taken, with only the Annex and the Elevator Lobby levels offering actual branching paths.

The House of the Dead 4 's route map has several misspellings (' Constraction elevator', 'Station attended room', etc).

On the top left-hand corner of The House of the Dead 2 's route map texture, there is a hidden message: a red fingerprint accompanied by the text 'Dream?'.

Rough maps were designed to plan out the routes. Ultimately, the mechanic was simplified due to time constraints and the Sega Model 2 arcade hardware's limited data space. The mechanic was originally more complex and influential on the story, with the player able to choose routes when the game began. The House of the Dead developer Sega AM1 wanted the branching paths to add replay value and encourage players to discover their preferred routes. The exceptions to this are Vampire Night and The House of the Dead III, the latter of which uses circular icons to mark the player's position they shed their color when they reach the spot where the player died. The routes taken are highlighted, with the player characters traversing the map upon reaching the spot where the game ended, they fall over and die.

Upon game over (and game completion, in the case of House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn), a map of all branching paths is shown. The stages themselves are linear.ДЄMS special agent James Taylor traversing The House of the Dead 2 's route map.
