Zeke, Julie and a squirt gun
You play as Zeke or Julie, two teenagers running through suburban backyards, hedge mazes, pyramids and castles to rescue neighbors before the monsters reach them. Each level shows how many victims are left to save, from cheerleaders and tourists to babies and soldiers. Weapons are household items: a squirt gun, soda can grenades, a weed whacker, silverware and popsicles, plus a bazooka that blasts through walls. Keys open locked doors, and a potion can turn you into a monster for a short time.
Fifty-five levels of monster movies
Each stage is named like a B movie, and the enemy list reads like a late-night creature feature: zombies, mummies, werewolves, giant ants, pod plants, blobs and a titanic toddler stomping through the level. The game runs 48 regular levels plus seven hidden bonus levels, and a four-letter password after every fourth level saves your spot. Two players share the screen, which speeds up rescues but also means you are both after the same first-aid kits. LucasArts developed it and Konami published it in 1993.
Checking a used Genesis cartridge
Genesis cartridges are sturdy, but the edge contacts can pick up grime or oxidation over the years. Look for dark spots on the contacts and for label tears or writing. The shell should sit tight with no rattle. Zombies Ate My Neighbors uses passwords instead of battery saves, so there is no save battery inside. This listing is the Genesis version, and the SNES release is a separate cartridge that will not fit a Genesis.
Questions about this game
How does Zombies Ate My Neighbors play on Sega Genesis?
It is a top-down run and gun for one or two players. You explore each level, blast monsters with odd weapons and rescue neighbors before enemies get to them. Speed matters, since the monsters are hunting the same people you are trying to save.
Is this the same as the SNES version?
Both versions share the same core game, but this listing is the Sega Genesis cartridge, and it fits and plays only on a Sega Genesis. If you play on a Super Nintendo, you need the SNES release, which is a separate cartridge.
Does it work on every Genesis?
It plays on Sega Genesis consoles with a standard controller, and co-op needs a second controller. North American Genesis cartridges are made for North American consoles, and Japanese Mega Drive systems use a different cartridge shape.
What is included?
The listing is for the Zombies Ate My Neighbors cartridge. A case, manual or controller is included only if the listing title says so. The game uses passwords, so there is no save battery inside the cartridge.
