Every horror-movie cliché of the 1950s and later turns up in suburbia: zombies, chainsaw maniacs, giant babies, Martians with bubble guns, mummies and an enormous ant. LucasArts built this 1993 top-down shooter, designed by Mike Ebert with Dean Sharpe as programmer, and Konami published it. Teenagers Zeke and Julie, alone or together in co-op, have to reach the cheerleaders, tourists, babies and other neighbors stranded in each stage before the monsters do.
The arsenal is pure comedy: a squirt gun, soda-can grenades, weed whackers, ice pops, tomatoes, silverware, dishes, crucifixes and a bazooka, plus a flamethrower found only in the SNES version. Different monsters respond to different items, so you are always managing ammunition across 48 stages, which include optional bonus levels. It did not sell well at first, but it is now a cult favorite for its humor and co-op, and it led to Ghoul Patrol.
Tips for Zombies Ate My Neighbors
Silverware kills werewolves in one hit, and crucifixes destroy vampires faster, so save them for those enemies.
Use the bazooka to blast through hedges and walls, which often opens a shortcut to stranded neighbors.
Rescue the neighbors closest to danger first; each victim lost is gone for the rest of the game.
