I loved, absolutely loved, these gore focused light gun games in arcades. I even bought a Saturn and two Sega Stunner guns when I saw the game at a local Electronics Boutique. It was not perfect but it was also cheaper than the arcade.
I have been addicted to them since I first played Beast Busters by SNK (almost bought that cabinet three times in my adulthood now).
It has always baffled me as to why Sega never made House of the Dead into a Resident Evil, fixed camera survival horror style game. It would fit perfectly, I think.
