Dreamcast video game released in 1999, one that falls squarely in thebeat 'em up genre. Armed with their fists, feet, and whatever weapons they should find along the way, players are tasked with ridding an unnamed city ofzombies that look more or less like the ones in "House of the Dead". The House itself is featured as one of the later levels in the game.tory
The time is the present. A city has been suddenly filled with the souls of the dead. A GOVERNMENT TOP SECRET PLAN U.D.S., Undead Soldier. It was a top-secret plan to utilize the dead for military purposes. Just before it was ready for operation all was throwninto darkness by someone unknown. A year later the city had becomethe home of the dead. Three of the best AMS agents were sent in, Stick Breitling, Linda Rotta and Rikiya Busujima. They have now been sent out to eliminate the enemy and track down the mysterious leader of this attack, known only as "Zed".

Trivia
*Originally titled "Blood Bullet : The House of the Dead Side Story", the game was later renamed "Zombies Nightmare" before Sega decided on the name "Zombie Revenge". This game also serves as a spinoff to Sega's popular "House of the Dead" series of light gun games.ref|Klov
*In one stage of the game, the players can pick up guitar cases. One is a pair of cases that are both hidden
machine gun s, while the other hides a rocket launcher. Both weapons were seen in the movie "Desperado".*There are signs throughout the game that prove "Zombie Revenge" is a spinoff to "The House of the Dead". Zombies sound the same as they did in the first game, and the main protagonists from both the "HotD" series and "Revenge" are AMS agents. At the start of the game, computer icons of Thomas Rogan and "G" can be seen on Linda's desktop. The Curien Mansion seen in the first House of the Dead appears as its own stage, called "The House of the Dead" and the music from the first stage is used. The final boss of "Revenge" is called Black Magician Type 01. The game's credits sequence is also the same, going back through the game's stages to the beginning of the game.
