About Corpse Killer
Corpse Killer is a full-motion video shoot-'em up. You play as an elite special forces soldier, who parachutes onto a remote tropical island. It seems the evil genius Dr. Hellman has found a way to raise the dead, and created an island of zombies. It's up to you to shoot your way through the undead hordes and stop Dr. Hellman. The game is played from a first-person perspective. Various zombies pop up in front of a video background, and you shoot them down by moving a cursor on screen or by using a light gun. The Saturn version has a few different features including extra power-ups as well as added footage of enemies.

Also released on: PC (Microsoft Windows) · 3DO Interactive Multiplayer · Mac · Sega Saturn · PlayStation 4 · Nintendo Switch. We haven’t priced or authenticated those versions yet.
Prices are per version and are not interchangeable, and neither are the reviews: conversions in this era were often built by a different studio than the original, so a score earned on one machine says nothing about how another plays.

The Sega 32X version
A campy zombie shooter on a Sega CD 32X disc whose upgrade over the Sega CD game left critics split.
This is the Sega CD 32X disc, so it needs a Genesis, a Sega CD and a 32X all connected together. Digital Pictures made and published this live-action rail shooter, in which you blast zombies on a Caribbean island, and it came out in both North America and Europe in 1994.
Reviewers disagreed on how much the 32X helped. Sega Visions pointed out that the 32X version's video window is enormous compared with the original's, and GamePro said the graphics were far better. Electronic Gaming Monthly's four reviewers found the campy B-movie cutscenes entertaining, the gameplay dull and the graphics only slightly improved, and Next Generation said the gain was so small that only an expert could notice.
How it was made
Digital Pictures both developed and published it.
What the press said at the time
| Next Generation Issue 4 | April 1995 | * |
“The only difference between the Sega CD and the 32X CD version is a miniscule improvement in the video”
Also on other platforms
Sega CD · 3DO · Sega Saturn · Windows · Mac · PlayStation 4 · Nintendo Switch
Before you buy
The US disc is one of the cheaper US 32X games, and the European one usually costs more, far more when it is complete. Make sure the disc is clean and unscratched and that you have the Sega CD it needs. The North American release came in a cardboard box, which is worth checking closely, while the European one shipped in a jewel case.

The Sega CD version
A zombie shooter whose video GamePro said looks and feels like a bad live-action movie.
This is the plain Sega CD disc of Corpse Killer, which needs no 32X; a separate Sega CD 32X version also exists. Digital Pictures developed and published it, and it came out in North America in November 1994 and in Europe in March 1995.
GamePro, reviewing the Sega CD version, said it looks and feels like a bad live-action movie. Game Players, in early 1995, was harsher still, calling it a boring, uninventive shooter with nothing going for it.
How it was made
Digital Pictures both developed and published the game.
What the press said at the time
“But at the end of the day, it tries too hard to be bad and it's nowhere near bad enough to be good.”
Also on other platforms
32X · 3DO · Sega Saturn · Windows · Mac · PlayStation 4 · Nintendo Switch
Before you buy
Among North American Sega CD games this sits about in the middle on price, while the European disc usually costs far more, loose and complete. A European disc needs a European Mega-CD. Because burned copies play on an unmodified unit, ask for photos of the printed side of the disc, the data side and the inner ring, and make sure the title and catalogue number match the case.
