Sigh ... i remember playing this as a kid, then reaching the terror on isle 5 and just getting demolished time and time again ... Also that creepy laughter was surprisingly terifying
A real shame he wasn't more talkative and the other dudes had no idea about the game, it'd help explain to folks who haven't played it before what's going on.
+AStandsForFrench Ikr. Thats what helps build an audience and gets people interested about the game that they never played or even heard of. This is a pretty good game. Good classic.
+AStandsForFrench i mentioned this in another comment, but this run was scheduled for like 6am and went on around 7am - i was really tired and it was hard to maintain enthusiasm and focus on performing the route. that said, there is not much to say about the game once the initial information about killing all but 1 neighbor and the points for the extra bonus neighbor are explained if anyone does have questions about the route that wasn't explained in the commentary let me know
lurkchan Damn i can't believe how close i was to beating this game. I got to level 47 and i believe i made it to level 48 but never even made it to the boss. I was really close but I never did beat this game as many times I tried as a child. I played this on the Sega Genesis. Thanks for this video and explaining something's during the play through.
I tried so hard as a kid to beat this in one setting so I could have all the weapons and everything ready to go for the final boss and I just could not beat him. I didn't realize it was the final boss at the time, so now it's even more frustrating realizing how close I was to finally beating this.
Whoever owns this game now could re-release it on mobile and it would (I think) fare quite well. It's nice to see that it's still relevant and appreciated these days.
Am the only person who as a remembers someimes skipping levels (sometimes even to the next boss) if you save all the neighbors in a level? Mandella effect? Or am i crazy.
I heard that the reason for the cheerleader not spawning on level 36 is because of Dr. tongue being killed too close to her, something about the spiders he spawns and the explosion effect,. to avoid the despawn, just kill the Doc away from the cheerleader
+ThonyHedgehog this actually isn't true. the plates do deal a good amount of damage compared to other weapons against dr. toungue, but they also move slowly and have a limited number of projectiles allowed on screen
I remember my years as a 8-10 year old, spending my whole day getting to the last boss and not being able to defeat it, I couldnt realistically fight all the bosses unless i started from like lvl 20 as needed to save items. I clearly didnt realise that you didnt have to save all if they die in lvl 1
Want to make a couple corrections. The first correction is that there are fifty-five levels, if you include the bonus levels. The second correction is that that cheerleader in Level 36 usually despawns is you kill the giant spider close to her and you wait for Dr. Tongue to spawn. You seem to have negated the close proximity in which you killed the Giant Spider to the cheerleader by walking off-screen, causing Spiders to despawn. I'm inclined to believe, based on extensive tests, that the reason that cheerleader isn't always there (even after you've seen that she is before the fight) is because the game forgets her existence when trying to animate the explosion of the Giant Spider and spawn the Spiders and Dr. Tongue all at once. It's the same method employed when you have the maximum amount of enemies spawned. Given the limited capabilities of this game at the time of it's release, there were little quirks such as this.
+Joseph K. yea i misspoke about the level numbers. then again it was like 7am and i was dead tired during this run so i apologize for the misinformation and general lack of physical enthusiasm. in my experience, the softlock on 36 happens when the cheerleader does not spawn. not to discredit the idea that the cheerleader might be despawned from there being too many enemies loaded into the memory, i've just never had that happen to a neighbor
You can but you're risking an instant game over if that neighbour dies. You're basically skirting death constantly. You get more out of the game including secret levels if you save everyone and do as much as you can. How difficult the later levels are depend on how much well you've managed your resources.
+BadAkatsukifangirl That way he cuts even more the time he spends in every level. He only has to locate 1 neighbor. Tho he's walking on a fine thread, because if that one dies, he gets a game over.
"monster potion not really that helpful" only a speed runner would say that lol
How would that not be helpful?
Not only a speed runner but a professional too.
F*ck monster potion, my homies use fire extinguisher, clown boxes and bazookas
Yes!!!!! Zombies ate my neighbors is still relevant in the gaming community. My childhood is complete.
and it always will be
I owned this game as a kid. WHAT THE FUCK THIS GAME IS BEATABLE!?
+inamoratasamazing Yeah try it again man I thought the same I actual almost beat it first try not that long ago
do you save all the neighbors?
shocking isn't it?
Almost 30 years of playing this game and i never knew THERE IS A FRIGGIN FLAME THROWER
Sigh ... i remember playing this as a kid, then reaching the terror on isle 5 and just getting demolished time and time again ... Also that creepy laughter was surprisingly terifying
The farthest I got back then was level 36, with the spider boss.
The burger guy is the real MVP of this game.
omg its so nice to see someone actually play this game properly
When I was younger I watched my dad beat the entire game and saved all the neighbors without killing them. I think I'm going to show him this video.

+lurkchan you guys do great work, and that makes alot of sense! id be drained even while gaming. keep up the good work!

One my favorite games used to play this a lot when I was a kid
I love how chill lurkchan is always during his runs :D
Each level starting level 3 can be a game over, underated.
#facts
I used to love playing this game with my brothers! Thanks for playing and the speedrun!
Effing level 20. That was the one that usually made me get a game over.
this game was ahead of its time in terms of humour and presentation IMO!
we need a sequel! same 16bit style, a bit less random and you're good to go!
There was a sequel on the Super Nintendo, Ghoul Patrol. Sadly, it was nowhere near as fun, varied, detailed or beautifully soundtracked as Zombies.
@@joshyland heck yeah, they tried to be too serious with Ghoul Patrol, which killed the charm ZAMN had
This game aged so well!!.
this game was so scary to me as a kid :(
Nice music selection for the event! masterpieces
This game was a classic man I'm telling you
One of my favorite games when I was younger
What's the advantage of switching to the water pistol for the final boss, when it switches from the spider to the giant head?
Funnest game on SNES.
Man, those production values.
I tried so hard as a kid to beat this in one setting so I could have all the weapons and everything ready to go for the final boss and I just could not beat him. I didn't realize it was the final boss at the time, so now it's even more frustrating realizing how close I was to finally beating this.

Get an emulator
Loved this game when I was a kid. I could never make it very far but it was still great
The soundtrack of this game gave me nightmares as a kid
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This game was legit creepy and the Og resident evil
“Hoooo Haaaa”!! “Hoooo Haaaaa”!!
Disco Heat mentioned.
What game is the music in the beginning from? Nvm just realized it's Super Mario RPG > FF 5 (I think) > Super Mario RPG again
This game is sooo hard, i was never able to finish it
what a classic!
ive played this game for so long and ive never beat it
Am the only person who as a remembers someimes skipping levels (sometimes even to the next boss) if you save all the neighbors in a level? Mandella effect? Or am i crazy.
What was the starting music, i know the second one was ff4
It's the battle theme from Super Mario RPG on Snes
I heard that the reason for the cheerleader not spawning on level 36 is because of Dr. tongue being killed too close to her, something about the spiders he spawns and the explosion effect,.
to avoid the despawn, just kill the Doc away from the cheerleader
I love this game
Was One of my fave games in the 90s ah good old times :D
If you use the alien gun on an ant it's a 1 hit kill
and the ~silver~ware one shots werewolves
What was the song in the beginning of the video? I think it's from a Mario RPG, but I'm not sure.
yes it is. first one is culex theme, second is boss battle theme
Culex theme and Fight Against An Armed Boss
Favorite OST on SNES
Final boss could have been optimized by getting the plates near the baby at lvl 41. The head is weak against them :P
+ThonyHedgehog this actually isn't true. the plates do deal a good amount of damage compared to other weapons against dr. toungue, but they also move slowly and have a limited number of projectiles allowed on screen
nice start time my guy
What is the very first song of this video?? I remember it from somewhere.
Super Mario RPG. It's the battle theme
I remember my years as a 8-10 year old, spending my whole day getting to the last boss and not being able to defeat it, I couldnt realistically fight all the bosses unless i started from like lvl 20 as needed to save items.

***** It sucks when it happens, but it can't be helped.

in my experience, the softlock on 36 happens when the cheerleader does not spawn. not to discredit the idea that the cheerleader might be despawned from there being too many enemies loaded into the memory, i've just never had that happen to a neighbor
I've had it her despawn after I've already seen her there. But, hey. Who knows? :)
crazy, i hope that never happens in a run lol
Joseph K.
OMG HI
I don't like this speedrun of killing neighbors I'd rather see a speed run saving all neighbors
So you would say that killing the neighbors is... unacceptable?
this game is so awesome! used to co op it as a kid all the time wish it was co op. going to find a full video of it i think and watch lol
I've beaten the game multiple times as Julie. With Zack I haven't been able to make it to the last level. Always go Julie or gg.
there's no difference with the characters
Zeke* Also why do people hate going playing him?
This is so cheap, I didn't know all you have to do is let all the zombies eat the neighbors and you can just skate right thru the entire game lol
You can but you're risking an instant game over if that neighbour dies. You're basically skirting death constantly.
You get more out of the game including secret levels if you save everyone and do as much as you can.
How difficult the later levels are depend on how much well you've managed your resources.
awesome
Disco Heat! :D
i cant even beat lv 5 without cheat.
Poor beard bros!
I don´t understand why he only has to save one neighbour oO
+BadAkatsukifangirl That way he cuts even more the time he spends in every level. He only has to locate 1 neighbor. Tho he's walking on a fine thread, because if that one dies, he gets a game over.
lizzyvainne Thank you. I never noticed this :o
Speedrun Any%
