Game Description

The Pinball of the Dead delivers a gruesome twist on the classic arcade genre, turning Sega’s iconic House of the Dead series into a frantic handheld pinball showdown on the Game Boy Advance. Instead of firing a light gun, you’ll use pinball flippers to mow down waves of zombies, rack up high scores, and face monstrous bosses — all within three massive horror-themed tables. It’s a bizarre yet brilliant crossover that fuses fast pinball physics with the atmosphere of a survival horror classic.

Developed by Sega’s Wow Entertainment and published by THQ, the game brings the terrifying world of House of the Dead 2 into an entirely new format. Each table is packed with interactive features, secret modes, and grotesque enemy encounters, while sound effects and visual details capture the arcade original’s creepy style. Skill-based challenges like multi-ball chaos and precision shot scoring ensure the gameplay remains addictive long after the first run.

For collectors, The Pinball of the Dead stands as one of the most memorable oddities in the GBA library. Few handheld games are as inventive or surprising, and its mix of horror and pinball ensures lasting appeal. As both a Sega franchise spin-off and a cult favorite, it has become a cartridge prized for its originality, making it a standout addition to any serious Game Boy Advance collection.

Gameplay Features

  • Three expansive pinball tables inspired by stages from House of the Dead 2
  • Battle zombies, ghouls, and bosses through flipper-driven action
  • Trigger multi-ball, combos, and hidden events to maximize scores
  • Atmospheric visuals and sound effects faithfully adapted from the arcade series
  • Blend of classic pinball mechanics with survival horror themes
  • A one-of-a-kind Sega spin-off that blends two very different genres
