Rescue the villagers before they are turned into full vampires. Eliminate the head vampire and his minions.Know anything more about this game? Cabinet InformationThe game's gun rack is highly decorated with a silver crest on it. The game features Namco's Guncon for increased accuracy. There are two cabinet types: standard (29-inch monitor) and deluxe (50-inch monitor).Cheats, Tricks and BugsOnly shoot the victim's sacroma when they are close.Game IntroductionThis game is, arguably, one of the best light gun games with regard to the undead. The players assume the roles of two vampire hunters who use eight-slug shotguns to rescue a small village from the vampires. It features some similarities to other titles like The House Of The Dead and Crisis Zone.When players are shooting a vampire, the enemy's life guage will be displayed, so head shots are a must. Also, this game has a different tactic of rescuing civilians; instead of killing the pursuing monster, the victims' sacorma (attached to their bodies) must be shot. If the player shoots a victim's body, the person will turn into a vampire and attack. Bosses can appear anywhere and at any time during the six different stages:
Game PlayWhen hunting vampires, the targets that appear on the screen are the vampires' "weak points." These areas should be shot as quickly as possible in order to kill the enemy.Players must watch for victims who are changing into vampires. They can be rescued if a player shoots the "sarcoma," but if the victim's body is hit instead, the person immediately turns into a vampire. If a player is successful in resucuing a number of victims, special events can happen and a victim may give the player advantageous information. By defeating specific enemies or causing events, a player can enter secret routes within each of the stages. There are also objects in the stages that can shot and destroyed. Hidden within some of those objects are life bonuses or score bonuses. Unlike previous shooters, the "boss" characters in this game can appear at the beginning, middle or end of a stage. MiscellaneousThe game was jointly developed with Sega and WOW Entertainment.VAPS Arcade CensusGAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETYVery Rare - According to a survey conducted by Video Arcade Preservation Society of approximately collectors and their 20,000+ games, there are no known instances of this game owned by a known collector. This does not automatically mean that no examples exist, or even that only one or two machines exist. Wanted - We currently do not know of any VAPS members that have gotten around to adding this game to their wish list. The wish-list system is fairly new (not all VAPS members have filled one out) and there are probably a number of collectors who might purchase this game if offered one at the right price. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.
