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.
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)
I used to play the loving crap out of this game as a kid and I probably beat this game more than a 100+ times. A pretty good soundtrack and MARVELOUS voice acting (lol). The game is really fun and super replayable with the original mode, where you can start with different guns and other items along with other different modes like boss rush and a training mode to sharpen your skills. Family members would join in and cheer me on during the boss fights and that created some really great memories. Unfortunately, the game is unplayable on modern hardware and even with lots of tinkering it still has some problems that ruin the experience. It would be awesome if GOG did some of their magic and made this gem fully playable again along with the other titles in the franchise. I hope the revival of this franchise will help bring some attention to the light gun genre.
