Zombies Ate My Neighbors, on the SNES of course, completely took a hold of me as a 12-year-old child. My best friend and I would play this game for hours stopping only to fight over who gets to play as Zeke when we hit the eventual game over screen. It is one of the best in the run-and-gun genre and still holds up today. BULLET POINTS ATE MY NEIGHBORS:
Made by LucasArts when they still worked on great games.
The animation in the game is smooth, varied, and expressive. Not always an easy feat on such limited hardware.
It has 48 stages. Forty-Eight. It takes skill to reach the end and plenty of kids tried. I never made it unfortunately.
It has enemies based on older and modern horror films. Zombies, mummies, werewolves, gill-men, giant spiders, the blob, killer dolls, and even Jason showed up in this game. Seeing a version of Jason Voorhees in a video game that doesn’t suck was a revelation to a younger me.
All of the different weapons. Especially the potion that turned you into a bad ass monster.
The soundtrack.
The different title cards before each level. Such as this one:
Ceej and Rob are back with a brand new episode of BDRCADE. Ceej starts off the show by declaring how awesome he is at Super Punch-Out!! and it turns out he wasn't lying. They both try to play some co-op games but run into some technical issues so they trade off playing…
From 28 Days Later - Buy it here! Danny Boyle did a terrific job in creating one of the most suspenseful and tense "zombie" flicks in the genre. While the infected in this are not technically zombies (they're just infected with RAGE, lulz) , the thought of this ever happening…
From Resident Evil (remake) - Buy it here Ceej and I are some of the biggest Resident Evil fans ever. I'm not talking about the extremely shitty movies, but the extremely awesome video game series. When the first one hit back on the PS1 it was an incredibly scary video…
