Corpse Killer is a 1995 CD-ROM game produced by Digital Pictures for various platforms and eventually given a remastered edition for the PlayStation 4 and Steam.Dr. Hellman (Vincent Schiavelli), from the safety of his tropical island, has created an elixir which can raise the dead, and he plans to use it to amass an army of zombies to threaten the world. Players control a nameless Marine who air-drops with some other soldiers in a covert operation to take him out, but the player-character is bitten by a zombie and his comrades are all MIA shortly afterwards. Saved by a Rastafarian named Winston, the pair then save a freelance journalist named Julie who is Going for the Big Scoop and offers information on Hellman in exchange for being escorted on personal errands. Winston, similarly, offers to help the Marine with his mission if he will provide support in Winston's treasure hunting so that he can upgrade from a Jeep to a Hummer, as well as using local datura plants to provide an antidote for the Marine's necrotizing condition.The game is a less linear than Digital Pictures' traditional output, allowed you to access a map as well as choose how and when to tackle the available missions. But in the end, it's still an Interactive Movie, which limits the actual gameplay to Shooting Gallery segments, albeit with actual light gun support if you so chose.

After Boss Recovery: Winston hooks you up with some Breath once you defeat your super-zombie Marine friends. Which is good, because you're immediately thrown into another fight in the Graveyard.

Mook-Themed Level: Each area is home to a specific "brand" of zombie. Hellman's fortress has ones dressed like prisoners that movie extremely fast, the swamp has hippie-dressed ones that are slower, and so on.

Nintendo Hard: Between the game throwing so many zombies at you and the need to collect the right kinds of ammo to defeat the otherwise-invincible elite zombies, it becomes very easy to die, or to get stuck in a loop of farming Datura for bullets and Breath such that you make no actual progress.

Elite Mooks: Comes in a few varieties. There are Shadowmen that turn from pitch black to pure white and back againnote If you hit them when they're all white, they act like a Smart Bomb; any other time, and you take damage instead, and there are special masked zombies called Black Magic Strawmen and Reapers, which can only be put down with armor-piercing rounds or better.
