Every attempt with different people followed the same crescendos - immediate interest, followed by a lull, ending with a let’s move on. ZAMN isn’t a bad game per say, but it doesn’t do anything to earn your undivided attention. Zombies Ate My Neighbors (or ZAMN) seemed to be a viable remedy: a self-aware and irreverent top-down adventure with B-grade movie tropes should be easy enough to enjoy.Įveryone was willing to give it a try, but no one was willing to stick around.
Sure, everyone knows about about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Contra III or Super Mario Kart for the SNES, but the pickings quickly get thin. There are only so many two-player games in the world. I thought for sure this game was designed to take my quarters. Plays like an Arcade Game… But It’s Not One.
