A wacky two-player horror shooter that plays well on the Genesis, even if it trails the Super NES original, at an above-average price.
Zombies Ate My Neighbors is a run-and-gun game from LucasArts, published by Konami, in which Zeke and Julie rescue their neighbors from movie-style monsters using a range of weapons and power-ups. The Genesis version came out in North America in November 1993 and in Europe, under the title Zombies, on 21 January 1994. The game was developed on the Super NES and ported to the Genesis about halfway through, and the Genesis version leaves out the Super NES flamethrower.
Power Unlimited found the Mega Drive version almost as good as the Super NES one, with harder controls and weaker graphics. Die Hard GameFan enjoyed the two-player action but found the later stages far too hard and judged it not quite as good as the Super NES version.
