Story
★★★★★
"Classic"
The neighbours to rescue give the game its visual identity: each is a small characterised silhouette, cheerleader, bather, professor, dog, spotted from afar on the map. The weapons drawn from everyday life, water pistol, tomatoes, fire extinguishers, are drawn with the same comic care as the monsters.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors (Mega Drive) price, value & rarity
Zombies Ate My Neighbors is the NTSC edition of the LucasArts/Konami game, a cult cooperative horror parody with Zeke and Julie against the zombies of suburbia. Its collector value comes from the cult status of the game among LucasArts fans and from the fact that the cartridge remains one of the most emblematic LucasArts/Konami productions of the 16-bit parody-horror subculture.
Better with friends
A gleeful suburban nightmare where two vigilantes roam infested neighborhoods to rescue neighbors before it's too late. Co-op is the heart of the experience: you warn of dangers, pass each other improbable items and improvise plans in a hurry. Funny and unpredictable, it spawns comical situations and makes two-player sessions a field of hilarious memories.
