"From the very first seconds"
Saving neighbours menaced by hordes of zombies, mummies and living chainsaws, armed with a water pistol and zany items: this action shooter overflows with parody humour and B-movie love. The two-player co-op, snappy pace and deranged weapons make it a hilarious blow-off. Colourful, original and packed with nods, a cult classic to savour in tandem.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors (SNES) price, value & rarity
American version of the LucasArts cooperative action game, a wacky tribute to B-movie horror where two players rescue neighbors from monsters of every kind. Its bloody parodic content led to censorship and renaming elsewhere, the American edition alone keeping the original title and imagery intact. Its collecting interest rests on this status as the unwatered-down version of a cult classic, sought for its authenticity against the reworked runs of other regions.
Is Zombies Ate My Neighbors still worth playing in 2026?
A cult co-op action game from LucasArts, Zombies Ate My Neighbors sends two heroes to rescue neighbours from an invasion of B movie monsters, across top down levels with a delightfully parodic tone. The wild arsenal, the good natured horror humour and the two player mode make it a terribly endearing romp, still very effective today. The high difficulty and the search for survivors spice up the adventure. A classic of co-op gaming for fans of retro action and horror movie humour.
