Was there ever a arcade game for this because I wanted to know was it ever in the arcades?

Difference:
GTA allows, almost encourages, the killing of innocent people, complete with blood, gore, screaming and swearing. House of the Dead encourages you to save innocent people (who shed no blood should they be killed) by shooting (not killing, because zombies are already dead) rampaging zombies who have green blood, if I remember correctly. What seems worse in the eyes of an OAP/Christian/Miserable old git? Saving people or beating/shooting/stabbing/slashing/crushing/chainsawing people to death? Plus HOTD contains no bad language, drug abuse or sexual references.

I can picture waitin' in line for that
*shivers*
Whilst I'm here, might aswell ask something constructive: did anyone ever play the 3D Gta on PC. It may ave just been onthe sold out release but I remember there being a 3D mode that I couldn't play dueto the fact my graphics card was shabby and shakey when playing back video.

Crossbob, shut up. GTA would not work on an arcade machine.
Yeah but there are some games when you can get weapons to hit people with.
that's NOTHING like GTA.
the outcry about GTA was because of the content of the game, not the blood.
i hardly think anyone would be offended by House of the Dead... unless you're aware of some zombie civil rights groups that i'm not? :)
anyways the point is, encouraging people to cause a flying zombie to die is VASTLY different to encouraging players to cave someones face in with a baseball bat. i'm fairly sure there are more idiots with baseball bats in the world than there are zombies.

Well I ment with gore,for example house of dead. That had so much gore that blood even splatted over the screen,when you blew a zombies head off.
like what?

hehe, you just took a daily mail headline and added the words "in public" didn't you? :)
