    Retrotopia Talks Zombies Ate My Neighbors

    Welcome to another episode of Retrotopia: Another Video Game Podcast. This is a show where we, Alan, Brian, and Sam, get together to discuss video games from years gone by. We like to look at video games from the perspective of lifelong gamers and how they hold up in the retro sphere. This week we are discussing Zombies Ate My Neighbors, a Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis game released in 1993 that puts you in the shoes of two unlikely heroes armed with everything from squirt guns to bazookas as they fight their way through hordes of zombies, monsters, and other B-movie horrors to rescue their neighbours. With dozens of levels, ridiculous weapons, oversized bosses, and plenty of nods to classic horror and monster movies, it's a frantic run-and-gun adventure where saving the neighbourhood is a lot harder than it sounds.
