Zombie Raid is a screen scrolling light gun shooter, horror-themed game released for the arcade by American Sammy. Welcome to the extraordinary world of Zombie Raid. Players use specially designed sawed-off shotguns with pump action reload to fight their way through the graveyard, through castles and dungeons and even through the mad scientist's laboratory. Battle all kinds of ghastly creatures, like zombies and other frightful beings. You may feel like you're lost in a horror movie! A myriad of secrets have been programmed into the game for added dimension. Can you discover how to get extra life? Can you find a way to escape the forces? Can you defeat the evil? The challenges are endless. In 1918 England, a small village suffers a rash of kidnappings and grave-robbing incidents, and heavily armed zombies have begun to emerge. With the job too dangerous for the police to handle, private detective Edward Windsor begins to investigate. Following a shootout in the village cemetery, Edward rescues a man named Charles, and the two join forces to infiltrate a nearby castle where the zombies have originated. They become separated upon entering the castle, with Edward falling into a subterranean dungeon and having to fight his way out. Shortly after Edward and Charles reunite, Charles is fatally shot; however, an infection he has acquired mutates him into a hideous monster and Edward is forced to fight him in order to continue. Edward moves through the castle laboratory only to find Charles - mutated into a new form - waiting to battle him again at the exit.
