* Main/TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Sometimes, the screen will produce lots of enemies that are impossible to dispatch on time. Makes worse for fighting bosses whose [[Main/AttackItsWeakPoint weak-spots]] are not even pointed out, forcing the player to continously shoot them in the hopes of depleting the life bar. See also GuideDangIt.
* Main/GuideDangIt: It is very easy to miss the hidden keys or books if one plays this game for the first time.

Despite the obvious similarities with ''VideoGame/HouseOfTheDead'' in terms of gameplay and premise, ''Evil Night'' is one of few light gun shooters to offer three-player cooperative action: players 1 and 3 wield handguns that can charge powerful "Penetrating Bullets", while player 2 uses a [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter pump-action shotgun]].

''Evil Night'' (known as ''Hell Night'' in Japan) is a {{Light Gun}} [[UsefulNotes/ArcadeGame arcade game]] released by Creator/{{Konami}} in 1998. It was the company's second horror-themed {{Rail Shooter}} since ''VideoGame/CryptKiller'' in 1995, as well as the second to offer three-player cooperative action. The game draws numerous comparisons with ''VideoGame/HouseOfTheDead'', which was released two years prior.
Mysterious energy has released TheUndead, and three cops are in search of their kidnapped friend, Liv. Players must venture into [[HauntedHouse a dilapidated mansion]], battling zombies, ghosts, [[RaisingtheSteaks insects, and other small creatures]] to uncover clues behind the infestation and rescue Liv before it's too late.
The gameplay is largely identical to ''The House of the Dead''; players move along a predetermined path, blasting enemies and destructible objects to avoid taking damage and collect health power-ups, respectively. This time, though, the weapons have some unique quirks; players 1 and 3 use handguns, which -- when the muzzle is pointed up -- can be charge to shoot damaging "Penetration Bullets", while player 2 has [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter a shotgun]] which disperses powerful bullets throughout the screen and must be pumped to reload. There are also collectable keys and books, which open up alternate paths through the stages and [[MultipleEndings alter the game's ending]].
Notably, the game runs off the [[{{Vaporware}} cancelled]] Panasonic M2 hardware, which is notorious for [[LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading long loading times]] and a high failure rate -- perhaps reasons why ''Evil Night'' disappeared from most arcades and has become extremely rare.
