Zombies Ate My Neighbors Growing up in the 90s and early 00s when rental stores were commonplace (the parents of my best friend growing up actually owned one, so he got free rentals, which was a sweet deal), sometimes you would just pick out a game at random based on nothing more than the box art, the title, or the back of the box. When you started up the game, youd really have no idea what you were getting yourself into. Zombies Ate My Neighbors was one such game for me. I am not a horror movie fan whatsoever. That genre just does not appeal to me, and yet I found myself playing and loving this game that is essentially an homage to (and a spoof of) horror. Anyway, Zombies Ate My Neighbors is an action game where you go through individual levels trying to save your neighbors from various horror movie staples, like werewolves, vampires, skeletons, and so on. They would occasionally do absurd concepts like the giant baby pictured above. The levels could be traditional horror movie stuff like an open field with a hedge maze (which you could buzz your way through if you could find a chainsaw), or it could just be a supermarket. You had a wide variety of weapons, and monsters would be more susceptible to the things youd expect them to be, such as the werewolves being weak against silverware. You had two playable characters: Zeke (if anyone ever wants to know what the stereotypical 90s kid looks like, show them a picture of this dude. He had blonde hair sticking straight up in the air, a t-shirt with a skull on it, and 3-D glasses, for some reason) and Julie, who was a lot more normal by comparison. The level ended when all of the neighbors were either saved or killed by monsters. My best friend and I played this game a lot, but we never managed to beat it. Not because it was too difficult, but we always got stuck on the same level. There was this level where you needed a skeleton key to open a particular door, and we could NEVER find it. I tried playing the game again as an adult, and I STILL couldnt find this stupid key. I dont get it! Maybe one of these days, Ill try it one more time and Ill just look up a guide on GameFAQs! --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/080/145/638.png https://imgur.com/WqDcNNq <cite>LeonhartFour posted [p:933597424] in Leonhart R...
