Game Description
Influenced by low-budget horror films of the 1950s (and beyond), and by the shooting action of Robotron: 2084, Zombies Ate My Neighbors has one or two players (simultaneous) running around suburbia, using a squirt gun to blast mummies, pod plants, and other creepy creatures. Cheerleaders, tourists, and other innocents should be rescued, and footballs, bazookas, weed-eaters, and other weapons can be picked up for added firepower. Additional items include keys for opening doors and Monster Potion that turns your character into a purple beast capable of bashing through walls. Filled with tongue-in-cheek humor, fast-paced gameplay, tons of levels, and cartoonish graphics and sound effects, Zombies Ate My Neighbors breathes new life into your Super NES.~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide
Roots & Influences
Zombies Ate My Neighbors takes the two-player, overhead-view shooting action of games such as Smash T.V. and Total Carnage, but slows it down and adds scrolling playfields. The game's B-movie atmosphere has roots in such 1950s flicks as The Blob, I Was a Teenage Werewolf, and Creature from the Black Lagoon.~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide
