comment |
Zombies Ate My Neighbors is your classic Zombie game created by LucasArts and published by Konami. Scores of B-movie monsters, from the eponymous zombies to stock werewolves, mummies, chainsaw maniacs, and even weirder and more obscure beasties, have overrun suburbia, and two ordinary teens must race through maze-like levels to rescue all the neighbors before the monsters catch them. Huge levels, lots and lots of enemies, creative weapons, and tons of B-movie references abound.This game is basically a parody of Devil World/Dark Adventure, a previous Konami arcade game, and in turn had a Spiritual Successor in the form of Ghoul Patrol, which was significantly less popular. Also inspired a later game loosely based on Classical Mythology called Herc's Adventures as well as the Xbox 360 game Monster Madness.A movie based loosely on the game was announced but it seems to have fallen into Development Hell.It, alongside Ghoul Patrol, comes bundled for the Nintendo Switch as Lucasfilm Classic Games: Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Ghoul Patrol. |

Darker and Edgier: The sequel took itself somewhat more seriously, at least in terms of visuals, which are surprisingly dark and creepy at times. The story is still pretty silly, and there are still humorous elements, like that one of the victim types you can rescue is an old man perpetually being electrocuted by a storm cloud. |

Unintentionally Unwinnable |
| | Zombies Ate My Neighbors (Video Game) / int_3ac5110b |
comment |
Unintentionally Unwinnable: Very rare, but it is possible to get yourself stuck by running out of ammo for all your guns and wasting all the keys and not having a bazooka or potion to blast the doors down. It is also possible to get stuck by not having enough skeleton keys when the game requires them. The game's password system is badly flawed to the point of being broken and useless. This is because it tracks exactly two things: your current level, and the number of remaining victims at the time you got the password. It doesn't matter how well-stocked you were when you got the password; if you use it, you will ALWAYS start off with only 150 water pistol ammo and a single health kit. Naturally, with VERY few exceptions that are minor at best, the farther you go by entering a password, the more severe and unpleasant your starting situation will be. And given the extreme difficulty of the final four levels, starting from level 45 is effectively setting yourself up for failure as you'll be lucky if you're able just to survive to the final boss, let alone hoard enough weapons, ammo, and items to actually take both forms down. |

Badass Normal: You know any other teenagers that can save 680 people, across the world, across time, destroy two globe-destroying monsters and their thousands of minions with nothing but squirt guns and whatever was in the kitchen? The chainsaw-wielding enemy might count as this. He appears to be a normal human except for his super-durability, and tendency to show up alongside numerous clones of himself, but both of these things can be explained as existing for the sake of gameplay. |

Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: One of the bosses, Titanic Toddler, is, well, a gigantic baby, who can stomp you flat or shoot milk out of its bottle at you. It becomes a normal (and rescuable) baby upon defeat. There are also giant snake bosses, Dr. Tongue's giant spider form, and giant ant enemies. Each and every boss of Ghoul Patrol counts, from a monster RoboCop... thing, to a giant, flying samurai, knight and pirate. They also animate in Mode 7 and look pretty cool when you destroy them. |

Invincibility Power-Up: Drinking a "monster potion", regardless of the character you're playing, transforms you into a big purple beast that's impervious to damage, and comes with a very powerful fist attack. The only notable difference is that when Julie transforms into one, she still has her hat on. There are also "Ghost kid potions" which turn the player into blue (presumably, ghostly) versions of themselves, who can neither attack nor be attacked. |

"Open!" Says Me: Keys are required to open locked doors. Alternatively you can destroy the doors with either a bazooka or the Monster potion, but while it opens up previously inaccessible areas to you, it also does so for the monsters hunting the neighbors. |

Sorting Algorithm of Weapon Effectiveness |

Sorting Algorithm of Weapon Effectiveness: Averted. Many weapons you pick up have at least one corresponding monster that it will deal heavy damage to, if not kill them outright, and even the water gun you have as your starter weapon has decent range, a high rate of fire, and can rapidly gun down a few fodder enemies such as the zombies in one hit each, so it's surprisingly handy throughout the game as well. |

Took a Level in Badass: Zeke and Julie in Ghoul Patrol. The monsters are far more demonic and take more hits before going down, so they switched the squirt guns for infinite crossbows, repeat-fire rifles, homing energy guns, and hot lasers (but no bazooka for some reason). The zombies themselves as well, they're considerably stronger and scarier looking and take four shots to go down as opposed to being weak as water in ZAMN. |

Too Dumb to Live: There's all kinds of monsters roaming about, but the neighbors you have to rescue apparently just don't give a damn, and are too busy hanging out in pools/barbequing/jumping on trampolines/etc. to even react when a monster is nearby. One victim is a soldier too scared out his wits to pick up the nearby bazooka and shoot some zombies. |

Weaksauce Weakness |
| | Zombies Ate My Neighbors (Video Game) / int_c09dbbbb |
comment |
Weaksauce Weakness: Many of the monsters have a particular weapon type that is exceptionally lethal to them, allowing you to One-Hit Kill some enemies with the appropriate item. For example, Tomatoes are extremely toxic to Martians. Toxic blobs die in a single hit if you can manage to land a Popsicle on them. Additionally, they're the only non-fire-based enemy that can be killed by the Fire Extinguisher. (All other enemies will be frozen by the extinguisher and take double damage from all weapons, until the freeze wears off.) You can kill werewolves in a single attack by throwing Silverware at them. Pod Plants are, appropriately, easily disposed of with the Weedwhacker. The otherwise VERY durable Giant Ants die on contact with the Bubble Gun's projectiles, whereas every other monster is merely incapacitated temporarily. While the Bazooka works fine, throwing Plates at a Snakeoid takes it down just as well. |

Cutting the Knot: Keys are limited and doors are aplenty, but if you got ammo left for your bazooka, you can blast down specific walls to bypass the doors and save your uses of keys. You can also do the same thing by using a monster potion and punching them or the walls down instead. Neither of these, however, work on skull doors. |

Generic Doomsday Villain: Done intentionally with the aliens, villains, and monsters. The manual states that Dr. Tongue unleashed the monster army unto the world, but it doesn't explain why. World domination or just For the Evulz? Likewise, some villains such as the Martians and chainsaw maniacs may be independent threats or possibly allied with Tongue for their own reasons... but really, the game doesn't explain what their driving motives are and it doesn't matter - it's all just meant to be a sendup to horror clichés, their presence can be justified by Rule of Cool, and they're all there to make sure you've got a big variety of horror movie villains to fight. |

Alien Kudzu: A reddish/purplish fungus similar to the stuff from War of the Worlds is a type of hazard — it's spread by large purple flowers who are stationary but shoot purple goop at the player. The fungus can also spawn mushroom men who are actually ambulatory and will chase the player. The flowers can also spawn spikey red bulb plants instead of the mushrooms that are functionally the same but don't spawn Mushroom Men. All four of these threats fall pretty much instantly to the weedwhacker weapon. |

comment |
Lightning Bruiser: Half the enemies in the game are lightning bruisers! Werewolves, evil dolls, the squidmen, the chainsaw maniacs, all the bosses, the vampires, even the damn MUMMIES are surprisingly fast, durable, and can make getting to certain victims nearly impossible. |

Every 10,000 Points: You get a bonus neighbor. If you don't have any dead neighbors, you get an extra life. If you have max lives (six), you get a "Perfect Player" bonus... which is even more points. |

comment |
Martians: Appear as enemies, most prominently in the above "Mars Needs Cheerleaders" level. They look like a cross between the "Mars Attacks" cards from the '60s (the Mars Attacks! movie wasn't out yet) and the Invasion of the Saucer Men aliens. |

Blob Monster |

comment |
Blob Monster: Recurring monsters from Level 9 onwards. They’re impervious to most attacks but weak against popsicles and fire extinguishers. An obvious Shout-Out to The Blob (1958). |

Our Werewolves Are Different |
| | Zombies Ate My Neighbors (Video Game) / int_f8b3fa5d |
comment |
Our Werewolves Are Different: You temporarily transform into a cross between a super beast with attitude and The Incredible Hulk when consuming the monster potion. You're invincible while in this form. On some levels the tourists can transform into two weaker, but no less threatening, regular werewolves, if you take too long. Unfortunately, unlike the giant baby boss, defeating them now counts as a neighbor death. |

Video Game Cruelty Punishment |
| | Zombies Ate My Neighbors (Video Game) / int_fcd993bd |
comment |
Video Game Cruelty Punishment: Victims disappear for good once they die, so letting the monsters kill them is not advised, no matter how much more quickly you think you'll get through the levels. Oh, and if none of the victims survive the level, it's an immediate game over no matter how well you're doing otherwise, so best not to make yourself hope that monsters don't score a lucky shot/spawn on your sole surviving neighbor for up to 55 stages straight. |
