Memory Recap: Zombies Ate My Neighbors | The Lost Gamer

I’ve posted my first article over at fellow gaming site, The Lost Gamer. Please check it out!

If there is any game to compare to popping off B-Movie nasties over a weekend then I haven’t heard about it… well, not back in the days of Zombies Ate My Neighbors. A classic top-down shooter for the SNES that took players to a cartoon horror movie nightmare that is overly addictive.

It used to be when I was a kid and played games with my elder brother, Zombies Ate My Neighbors was a strong favorite next to Motal Kombat 2. What was cool about ZAMN at the time was that it could be played co-operatively, hell, it was meant to be played with two players! Off the top of my head I can’t think of any game that was aimed at being a co-op, at the time it was very unique. Nowadays, I think it’s normal to expect a game to have some co-op aspect to it, but the 16-bit era was a time when the majority of 2 player games were sporting or fighting; sporting you are always against each other and fighting, unless a side-scroller like Streets of Rage, was typically killing each other.
