CLASSIC OLD SKOOL RETRO GAME!!!

It’s fright-night as the dead awaken to terrorise your hometown.

Zombies Ate My Neighbours is a run and gun 'horror' video game originally for the Sega Mega Drive/Sega Genesis and Super NES platforms. The game was produced by LucasArts as a comical tribute to both classic and schlocky horror films of the 1950s and 1960s.


Gameplay
The player chooses between two teenage characters, Zeke and Julie, or both in two-player mode. They navigate suburban neighborhoods, shopping malls, pyramids, and other areas, destroying a variety of horror-movie monsters, including vampires, werewolves, huge demonic babies, and the game's flagship, zombies. In each of the 48 stages (excluding the bonus levels) the goal is to rescue the surviving neighbors, at which point a magical door opens that will take the player to the next stage. However, if the player is not careful, any enemy in the game will kill the neighbors, preventing them from being saved. At least one neighbor must be saved from each level to progress to the next. The game is lost if all of the neighbors in a certain stage are killed or if the player(s) lose all of their lives. Scoring points earns players more neighbors to save (but only up to the maximum of 10) and extra lives.


Victims
Zombies Ate My Neighbors also has diverse cast of "neighbors", including tourists, Archaeologists, babies, cheerleaders, dogs, and more. Each level has a maximum of ten neighbors, but if they all die without the player saving at least one throughout the stage, the game is over. Most victims are fully vulnerable to the monsters. The victim lounging around in an innertube can only be killed by Squidmen. The only victim who can never be killed by any enemy whatsoever is the girl jumping on the trampoline.

Though every victim can appear in generally any out-of-place area, they usually come in abundance in areas where they fit in. Archaeologists, for example, appear in large numbers in the pyramid, but can still be found in the average neighborhood.

Victims are instantly killed or saved upon contact with an enemy or the player, respectively. The one exception is the soldier victim, who will survive the first attack by an enemy, but will begin to "freak out," indicating that the next hit will kill him. Victims become angels upon death, floating to the sky.


In-game references
The game makes several references to horror movies, including An American Werewolf in London, Child's Play, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Mars Needs Women, "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" Dracula, Night of the Living Dead, Friday the 13th, Them!, Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Day of the Triffids, and Tremors, as well as the classical novel Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Censorship
Due to the theme of the game, it was originally subject to some censorship. In some countries from Europe (such as the United Kingdom and Germany) the name was considered unsuitable, and so the European version was renamed simply Zombies.
