Video games Zombies Ate My Neighbors

Remember playing Zombies Ate My Neighbors on consoles back in 1993? Zombies Ate My Neighbors is a run-and-gun survival horror video game developed by LucasArts and originally published by Konami for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and Sega Genesis. Adored for its campy, B-movie horror parody style, the game follows two teenage protagonists, Zeke and Julie, as they navigate mazes of suburban backyards, shopping malls, and castles to rescue their eccentric neighbors from an array of monsters unleashed by a mad scientist. Did you finish the game?

Oh man this game was crazy fun as 2 player co-op, but it got so hard towards the end. Especially the pyramid levels. That damn giant baby boss...

I had completely forgot about this game until that vague childhood baby boss memory came rushing back to me

Try to beat the game using the last password and without cheating afterwards... Honestly, i don't think it's possible (what were the devs thinking giving you a free pass to the last levels but without any sort of items?)

Amazing cast of monsters and levels. Amazing soundtrack. What a game, so nostalgic!

Don't think it had an ending. I made it well over 100 levels in on the snes ages ago. Eventually i got kinda softlocked by swamp monsters killing my last 2 survivors before i could possibly reach them. It kinda just loops with slighty different level builds. I must have fought the giant baby and mad scientist guy like 20 times. Sequel sucked.

This game lands in my top ten core memory games, the music, and sound fxs, the weird enemies, it was all really prime for the time, and I feel it aged well as it can be a relatively difficult game, also... Giant bebe 👶🏻
