Description
Sequel to Zombies Ate My Neighbors featuring new undead enemies to battle. Published by Lucas Arts, released in North America in 1994. Top-down cooperative play, characters with varied weapons battling ghosts and creatures across horrific settings. Spin-off sequel to Lucas Arts' humorous horror game on Super Nintendo.
The original NTSC release of Ghoul Patrol, arriving late in the SNES life cycle, which explains its more measured US print run. The loose cart moves easily, but the complete copy in an uncreased cardboard box with manual grows scarcer and concentrates collector interest. Its Zombies Ate My Neighbors lineage sustains steady LucasArts demand, with value hinging mainly on box condition and sealed status.
Is Ghoul Patrol still worth playing in 2026?
A sequel to Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Ghoul Patrol keeps the co-op top-down view and varied arsenal to face ghosts and creatures in horror settings. The tone is darker and a touch less inspired than its predecessor, and the formula spins its wheels next to the original. It stays likeable in two-player, though, with its macabre humour and secret-laden levels. More a complement for fans of the first than a gateway, but an honest co-op pleasure for a laid-back evening.
