This weeks game has been chosen by Rayne and is Zombies ate my neighbours. Produced by Lucasarts and published by Konami in 93,94 europe. Here's an excerpt from Wiki to describe it.

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 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire), werewolves (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werewolf), huge demonic babies, and the game's flagship, zombies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie). 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 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra_life). Scoring points earns players more neighbors to save (but only up to the maximum of 10) and extra lives (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra_life)

I've just been playing this game and it's great! I've just got upto level 10 and then it's stupidly difficult, the game is like an earlier version of Loaded!

Ho ho ho! A classic, huh? =D

It's been ages since I played that game, I hardly remember it... I'll give it a try today or tomorrow. We'll see.

Man this game is hard as nails! I got upto level 12 and struggled like hell! And there's over 40 I think so that's a downside, and a lot of the levels are repetitive, I feel like i'm going nowhere.

I used to have this, but sold it back in the day to buy a playstation! Now I'm regreting it, I'll have to hunt down another copy!

I gave it A 4. IT does get difficult but I like the graphics and level design. And im A fan of old school gameplay. Not too far into it yet, but im gonna see how far I can go though. I get the feeling im gonna have to tak advantage of the save function on gens with this one though......

The highest I've got is level 16 :blush: I'll have to start saving and paying more attention

It shall recieve a 4. The game all in all is good, but a few flaws (especially regarding switching items and weapons, some enemies being immune to several weapons without showing it) take 1 point.
I came through to about Level 10.

Thinking about it. i've not tried yet. is there any difference between characters? weapon wise or anything, or is it just the visual difference?

Sherlock
24-06-2008, 13:45
I haven't seen any difference other than visuals, yeah.

Rayne
24-06-2008, 13:49
Its purely a visual difference =]

One thing I forgot to mention I do like some of the items and weapons. The clown balloon doll thing that distracts the zombies is A good example. pretty funny I thought.

4 from me.

Honestly I almost gave it a 5 for it's music alone, but further playing there was one thing that annoyed me enough to knock it down to 4, the character doesn't pick up an item when they walk over it, you need to be like just above the item, and when you're running away from a guy with a chainsaw it can get extremly annoying.

It's got a 4 from me, very fun for the first 10 levels! But the cliff face rise in difficulty after that does harm the enjoyability a little, that and the similar levels stop it getting a 5 from me.

I have to give it a 4, because of the music and the gameplay wasn't great, so just say the music was enough.

The game is decent. I'm mildly entertained by the race against time, however it can't hold my interest for long, I feel there are way better Genesis games to spend my time on. That's my take on it, anyway.

Oh... the Megadrive version was asked? Sorry, I played SNES one, if that's ok. o.o

How should I know, I didn't even know there was a MD version. o.o

XD my cousin had the Mega Drive version, but I'm sure there's no major difference, perhaps minor difference in graphics or sound..

Hmm, the first time I played this game was on the MD with my friend many years ago, yet playing the SNES version I really don't see how the controls could have been any good since it manages to use all of the SNES buttons.

I played this game on an emulator about a year ago and playing it again now I still feel the game lacks that x-factor to keep me interested.-_- I mean, I only got as far as the third level before deciding I was too bored to go on!XD I'm giving it a 2 for trying.

I have to say I'm not impressed by this game. It's nice at first, but along the way it kinda loses its spark.
