Each level is designed to keep you running and shooting as you scour the area using the in-game radar for your neighbors while taking on the undead. These neighbors range from cheerleaders, lost tourists, babies and dads barbecuing in their backyards –– all victims if not saved in time. Throughout the course of 48 levels, you’ll travel through backyard hedge mazes, torn-down malls and abandoned caves to save your neighbors. However, instead of using traditional weaponry, the two main characters take out the undead horde with water guns, cherry bombs and fizzing soda.Įverything in the game screams 1990s, from the skull t-shirt and 3D glasses the male character is wearing to even some of the suburban life portrayed in the game. “Zombies Ate My Neighbors” is an angled-overhead action game where you and a friend take on zombies, chainsaw-wielding maniacs and other classic enemies from horror movies. One day while looking for something new, we found a game that neither of us had ever heard of called “Zombies Ate My Neighbors.” Made by Konami, who at the time was well-regarded for a lot of hit titles, we were on board to see what weird horrors were in store. One still had a SNES and we’d often pick a game at random out of his cabinet to play on weekends. While consoles such as the Nintendo 64 and Playstation had been released, many of my friends at school still had the older consoles like the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo at home.
The medium was going from 2D pixel art to a crude 3D art style with a ton of experimentation to see what would work.
As a kid growing up in the early 2000s, video games were in a state of transition.
