Speaking of Sega and Zombies, my favorite testament to the arcade industry's death rattle - CoinOp Today - has posted news of a House of the Dead 4 Special theatre cabinet which is to be released in North America. The gigantic cab, which you probably won't be able to find anywhere near you because that's just the way the universe works, boasts a 270 degree pivot seat that moves as you face the action.

From the release: "Surround sound, air blasts and a vibrating seat add to the hellish experience." Air blasts. That is awesome. I haven't seen that in an arcade game since Irritating Maze from Saurus, perhaps? Anyway, the official flyers may be absolutely riddled with typos and grammar errors (go Sega Amusements! They also distribute games by a company called SEGAS, apparently), but the game looks really nice, running on Lindberg as it does, and I'd love to check out this cabinet once. If you come across one, do send me an email!
