I've secretly always hoped that zombies would eat my neighbors so that I could go on an undead slaying rampage. As I sit here with the Silver Screen Kid, consuming 907 grams of irregular candies rejected from the factory and playing Zombies Ate My Neighbors, I'm living out my dreams vicariously through my emulator. The best part was when the hockey masked chainsaw maniac killed the baby. That's hardcore. This game was an extravagant weave of horror genres.
You start out saving your neighbors from zombies, in a wicked simultaneous 2-player mode. It quickly escalates to include ax-wielding midgets, hockey masked chainsaw maniacs, mummies, werewolves, pod-people, and a giant baby. Plus anything else you can think of. The shit has hit the fan and all hell has broken loose and it's beautiful. The Silver Screen Kid and I remapped the controls of the emulator so that we could play 2-player mode with only one keyboard. It worked well enough. 2-player mode is loads better than solo. This game will definitely be included first-thing on the emulator arcade cabinet we're building.

Fantastic game. I was always a fan of horror-based games. Another favorite of mine on the Sega was The Haunting Starring Poulterguy.
Good tip! I've never played that one.
Just for you, I'm going to try to post/repost some more horror-based Sega games. Since you brought that up specifically.
I'm with you on that.
only played the snes version
Love this game, although I get my ass handed to me about 12 levels in everytime I play. I'm not sure what all you've posted here already, but I did a fairly big Sega post on my site once if you wanted to grab any of the games to post here.

Love this game! But does anyone know what the keyboard control is to use the first aid kit? I know X shoots/ throws, C changes your weapon, V switches to first aid kit & other items, but I can't figure out how to use them... Space is pause, & the control + A or X don't do what everyone says they do... Help!!!
Never mind, it's D...
