Saturn Goofy ah question abt The House of the Dead

[solnK!]

Can I play this game without the light gun?

 

[Deean]

i think so,the later games (2-4) can also be played with a controller.

 

[retro-gamer]

No idea, just try it.

Some emulators let you use the mouse, so, yes.

The Saturn port of HoTD sucks, get the arcade one.

I had a Dreamcast with a demo of the second game and I could play it with a controller no problem

 

[Antilocal123]

Don't know never played it.

 

[Mahan_Native]

yeah there is no problem

 

[Vardalis]

Yeah, I played a good bit of House of the Dead and games like Time Crisis on controller with no issues back in the day.

I know for the PC version of the game you can use a mouse. And for the Wii port of the HotD games uses the Wii-mote, so you may be able to use a mouse on Dolphin.

All console ports of light gun games can be played with a controller, pretty much. It's the worst way to play these games because it's just not fast or precise enough, so you might find yourself setting it to easy or having to do a lot of memorization. I use to do it anyway with Virtua Cop cause I didn't have the light gun and still had fun, but I was a kid.
MAME and other arcade emulators let Model 2 Emulator (for House of the Dead) let you play using the mouse instead. It's definitely easier that way, and a bit more fun, though of course nothing beats a light gun.

Yes! For them to be able to sell this game in stores, they needed have you be able to play the game without the peripheral. The same thing goes for the other light gun games: Virtua Cop 1 and 2.

Most light gun games can be played without the gun. I think people get tripped up by NES light gun games. But that system, its original core bundle, came with a zapper, so the expectation was that everybody had a gun already.

Oh, and on the Saturn port, I recommend you emulate the original game like everybody else, but you and I have the same vibe: we love Saturn and want to play Saturn games.

So, let it be known, Saturn HotD is like the original Daytona port. It looks like trash, but it plays like a dream.
