Jon and Arin play the game co-op, as Zeke and Julie, respectively. Zombies Ate My Neighbors is the tenth game played by Jon and Arin on Game Grumps. There’s not enough that’s been added in here to make it worthwhile for those who have fond memories of playing it back in 1993, and the rough edges will likely put off most newcomers.Egoraptor and Jontron play the most stressful game on the planet. Ultimately Zombies Ate My Neighbors is a good game that’s sadly been poorly treated with this port. Other issues include the inability to map buttons (so the original SNES button set-up can’t be used, bafflingly) and the fact that Ghoul Patrol simply isn’t very good – meaning the game’s value falls squarely on the shoulders of Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Something we imagine many modern day players simply won’t have time for. Sadly there has been a reluctance from DotEmu to make this a port everyone can enjoy, as although you can save your progress anywhere you’re still generally required you to learn the levels by dying repeatedly – chipping your way through via trial and error. Still this uncontrollable havoc is part of the game’s appeal, and the range of weapons make sure you’re rarely outgunned. You can only shoot in the direction you’re facing.Īlthough this sounds simple enough it means you can often feel overwhelmed by the action unfolding onscreen, and incapable of dealing with it all. Unlike something like Robotron which has a twin-stick control scheme this has a far trickier set-up for example. This isn’t an easy game, especially by today’s standards.
Mainly as you’re always up against it, for a range of reasons. You’re thrown into small stages full of various monsters – such as the titular zombies – and have to either avoid or destroy them while rescuing all the various members of your neighbourhood.Īnd that’s really it in terms of set-up, but there’s so many different enemies and locations thrown your way it never feels dull.
Developed by Lucasarts (yep!) the game is a back to basics arcade style experience.
