Zombies ate my Neighbors

[PDorr3]

My friend came over yesterday and we decided to bust out the genesis to play some altered beast, and then i reccomended we play zombies ate my neighbors. I had never come to realize so much how much I miss these simple arcade type games. A life bar, a weapon, an item. It was so simple yet so enjoyable.
Who else here has played this game? I used to play it alot with my dad, the farthest we got was up to that sand crawler level w/ the GIANT worms. If I were to make a top 5 genesis gamel ist this would DEFINITLY rank in there.
(memories come back of killing werewolves, fighting dracula, oh how could i forget the giant baby boss fight!)

yeah i loved this game- this was probably the last 16 bit era game i really got into...

2 players makes it much more fun

Yeah that is one of my all time favs! too...... the 16 bitter! Platformers are the best, the time goes so fast!..

It's the last 16-bit game I remember fondly. If there was any game that would get me to buy back a SNES or Gen, that would be the one. The music alone was worth the price of the cart.

[Tank]

Yeah...I loved that game
Music was awesome in it too

ZAMN - fun stuff. Never got to play Ghoul Patrol, though.

This is defenitely one hell of a great game. I have the snes and genesis version but I'm not sure if they vary from each other at all. I remember playing ghoul patrol on snes emulation and not enjoying it at all.

That's probably a good thing.

Zombies ate my Neighbors is great, especially if you're even remotely interested in cheesy horror flicks from years past. It's full of good, solid gameplay, and the challenge is right up there with any other Konami title as well. I just wish they'd bring it back and update it. Keep the same top-down view, but give it an overhaul much like Contra: Shattered Soldier - old school 2-D gameplay with a simple, graphical overhaul. I'd be first in line for it!

The SNES version has slightly better graphics and music...

I love genesis but i had to be honest

[pookninja]

yeah,i still play that game off and on.good stuff.i have the snes version.

[Ernster]

Awesome game...my 2nd favourite just behind Super Mario Kart.

[Nesmaster]

ahhh, me and a good friend of mine played this game at least every other day. sadly he moved away 6 years ago, so we havent played it as often since. he visits me about 3 times every year and i bust that game out and we usually play it through . we also have tried it through emulation but its just not the same

Bought the SNES version and loved it since day 1. It's one those games you can play for a quick pick-me-up or play after a long time of inactivity and get right back into it.

[pixelsnpolygons]

Yeah, this thread reminds me of when zombies really did eat my neighbors.

Anyway, I agree - great game. I was playing it about 5 months ago.

That would be soo awsome! just think, xbox live or ps2 online 4 player online w/ voicechat! ohh that would be the day.....

Man, this game is pimp as fuck. It's funny, cause I definitely remember ZAMN being a cool game, and I did play it back when it first hit for the SNES, but man.... I didn't remember it being this pimp. This is just one of those classic arcade style games, just pure playability, pure video game love. Incredible music, great graphics, nice sound effects, the total frickin package if I do say so myself. Man, this game jumps dramatically up the SNES charts as far as I'm concerned. The SNES is full of classic games, big time hits, but this one still has to pull rank and bump itself into the Top 10. Considering how many incredible SNES games there are, that's saying something!!!



I agree about the Xbox Live Arcade idea. Supposedly SOTN is coming to Xbox Live Arcade, and that's a PS1 game, so why not bring over a SNES game!!! It's a two player co-operative game, it would be absolutley perfect for live!! Update it a little bit with 720p graphics and a modern score ( of the same classic melodies) and you're in business. Still I would always want to play the original SNES game on a RGB monitor for the purity of it all, but if I could play co-operatively with somebody over live, while talking about the latest in retrogaming on the headset, now what could be more pimp than that?


What say you?

[NintenDk]

that chainsaw hedge level I rememeber getting through but it seemed impossible even as it happened.

[Imstarryeyed]

Loved that game.. make sure you also play Alien Syndrome, as Zombies borrowed its gameplay from that wonderful game!!

I cannot wait until the new Golden Axe and Alien Syndrome remakes come out soon! I just hope they do good enough so we can get a Streets of Rage remake!

[JPeeples]

I've loved this game since I first played it, and I also enjoy playing it on the Nomad. There's nothing quite like playing such a unique game anywhere I want to.

Holy shit peeps iz diggin up all the old threads , but it is still a sweet game!!
