Zombie Revenge

Zombie Revenge (ゾンビ・リベンジ) is an arcade and Sega Dreamcast video game released in 1999, a beat 'em up game. Armed with their fists, feet, and whatever weapons they should find along the way, players are tasked with ridding an unnamed city of zombies. 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 and contains numerous references to its parent series. A port of the game for the Sony PlayStation 2 was to be released by Acclaim Entertainment, but was eventually canceled.

Tropes used in Zombie Revenge include:

Absolute Cleavage: Yoko, a hostage found in the first stage. It's not as evident on Linda in her default outfit, but definitely present in her catsuit outfit.
Absurdly Spacious Sewer: The second level takes place in a large sewer.
Action Girl: Linda is the first playable female character in the House of the Dead series, predating Lisa Rogan by three years.
All There in the Manual:
- Even though they don't speak it, Stick and Linda both understand Japanese. Likewise, Busujima has no problems understanding their English.
- Busujima has special punches that generate sparks that can set things on fire. Ki attack? No, it is from being a cyborg.
Ass Kicks You: One of Linda's combos ends with her slamming her butt down on a fallen zombie.
Attack of the 50 Foot Whatever: UDS-04C, a giant zombie that is fought in the penultimate level.
Beauty Mark: Yoko sports one on the left side of her face.
Big Bad: ZED. He triggers the zombie outbreak and aims to destroy all humans for the death of his parents.
Bilingual Dialogue: Stick, Linda and ZED only speak English, and Busujima only speaks Japanese. They understand each other just fine.
Boss Rush: Of sorts. Two of the game's bosses are fought before the final two.
Bottomless Magazines: Averted. All weapons have limited ammo including the handgun. Thankfully, hand-to-hand works pretty well on most enemies.
Brick Joke: If you manage to save the girl at the start of the first stage, she gives you a disk from ZED, and you continue on. After beating the game, The Stinger reveals the girl is still waiting in the room you found her in, complaining about not getting paid from him.
Camera Screw: Certain bosses have an attack where they'll fly away and charge from a distance. During the attack, the camera will follow them as they go in for the kill.
Charged Attack: The characters can charge up their gun shots to hit multiple enemies with a single bullet. Not as powerful as a focused shot, but helps in a bind.
Competitive Balance: The three characters are measured by their physical strength (offense and defense), speed and gun power.
- Fragile Speedster: Linda Rotta. She's the fastest playable character, but her hand-to-hand skills and physical defense is the weakest.
- Glass Cannon: Linda also doubles as this, as her gun is the most powerful of the three.
- Jack of All Stats: Stick Breitling. The most balanced of the three with decent shot damage, hand-to-hand skills, physical defense and speed.
- Mighty Glacier: Rikiya Busujima. He's the slowest of the agents, but his hand-to-hand skills surpass his abilities with a gun.
Continuity Nod:
- Icons of Rogan and "G" can be seen on Linda's laptop.
- One stage, titled "House of the Dead", takes place in the mansion from the first game with a remix of the game's first level music. Only the courtyard is identical, the inside has a completely different layout.
Death Seeker: Before he's fought, ZED threatens the agents with releasing the God of Destruction from his body, and looks forward to reuniting with his parents.
Dual Boss: UDS-TP II, first fought on Mt. Sacrifice, is comprised of a large cyborg and a small zombie.
Final Boss: Black Magician Type 01, once it is unleashed from ZED's body.
Fishing Minigame: One of the VMU minigames has players fishing for zombies.
Flunky Boss: Some of the bosses and mid-bosses have zombies spawning throughout the fight.
Gameplay Grading: At the game over screen, the player is given a number rank based on how well they did.
Good Scars, Evil Scars: Busujima has several scars across his body.
