Herc is a prequel. Turns out Hades set the stages for what would happen hundreds of years earlier. An aged Herc became the evil Doctor and reanimated the zombies using midiclorians.
I picked up zombies ate my neighbors for 2.99 brand new at Kay Bee toys. They had like 80 copies of the game and I was unsure why it was so cheap but I was 12 and wanted to play it I thought it looked so cool. I knew my parents wouldn’t say no to a 2.99 game. I played this game for weeks. To this day it was the cheapest best game I ever played. Oh I also got a little ceasers Bigfoot delivered that night and was up til about 9am with my friend Kelly.
I found the title misleading. The second game was news to me but the herc game has nothing that says to me it's part of the same franchise. I can see why one might include it in a set of games but that would be the [insert game developer names] Trilogy *featuring* Zombies Ate My Neighbours. I enjoyed your history of Streets Of Rage and Golden Axe videos and I love the game Zombies, but the content compared to the title for this video is disappointing.
I had barely heard of ghoul patrol until i turned 19. Played ZAMN when it dropped and boy howdy the commercial was something else. Also just being honest, snes beats the shit outta the crappy port on genesis, both in terms of color, and in sound quality.
Ehh, I felt like the X-Box 360/PS3 Monster Madness game to be a closer sequel (well, spiritual successor) to ZAMN, myself as it hit on more of the hallmarks that made ZAMN so memorable; ecclectic B-Movie enemies, wacky weapons, bizarre bosses, and a demented sense of humor with quite a few pop-culture references tossed in for flavor (Zack and Andy's Red vs Blue references when getting tanks later in the game were my personal favorites) and the very similar gameplay style just felt more ZAMN than Herc's Adventure.
Definitely feel played that there wasn't some "hidden" zamn game that stuck with the theme in this video. No offense, but as far as spiritual successors go, Hercs Adventure wasn't really what I was looking for m8. 2/10 for hopes let down.
played zombies ate my neighbours on the snes back in the days ,i remember it being quite a challenge. hercs adventures was a ps1 favourite for me,although it seems to be an easily overlooked gem in their library.
A zombies ate my neighbors move would be so amazing, that would make me explode with happiness x3 This was an awesome video, I didn't know any of the details behind this game, but it's awesome to hear your insightful context
Hellwyck I think he mispronounced it on purpose. I don't think his subconscious desire to avoid giving any praise to post nes consoles is on purpose however
This was an excellent watch. I heard of Herc's Adventure somewhere else, but wasn't aware it was by the same crew as Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Cool, I'll have to try to find this one.. I still need Zombies Ate My Neighbors too.
Mate that was absolutely fascinating, loved that. I knew about Ghoul Patrol but I remember it not being a great as Zombies Ate My Neighbours, the PAL name of which I own on the SNES and it's one of my favourite games ever, love it. I didn't know about Herc's Adventures however, and I used to own the original Hercules game on the PC. OMFG, Mortimer and the Riddles of the Medallion, I used to own and play that on the PC back in the day. It wasn't until you mentioned it that my mouth just fell open as I'd forgotten all about it for all these years and just checking out some gameplay of it, I remember doing that, was such a fun game so thank you for reminding me of that. Wow a movie, sound intriguing, would be very cool to actually see it happen. Mate again amazing commentary and editing, must take you so so long but obviously so worth it because it just looks awesome! :)
***** You got a long waaay to go :) plenty more videos where that came from :) Be sure to read the interview from Colette it's such a great read. Also, looks like I have the thumbs down guy after me too hahaha
Daniel Ibbertson Looking forward to more vids absolutely! I will mate, definitely, and someone is just jealous of much of a professional you are, and with 22 likes it only makes them stick out like a sore 'thumb' haha see what I did there! :)
That opening made me a bit sad. It made me realize that the once epic Star Wars Trilogy has been reduced to "just a set of old sci-fi movies" for those who didn't watch the original unaltered versions. Before the prequels stained them, those three really *were* something special.
jack squatt I don't mind the prequels. They're not perfect but they hold a certain place in my heart. Star Wars Episode I was the first Star Wars film I saw in the cinema. In fact, I'm pretty sure it was the first ever film I saw in the cinema. I loved it. The whole experience. I didn't care that Jar-Jar was an embarrassment to the saga. I didn't care that the script was dire. I didn't care that midichlorians ruined the mysticism of The Force. As a 25-year old man, I care more about those things from an objective viewpoint. That said, the nostalgia I feel for the prequels - particularly Episode I - makes it difficult for me to hate them. The problem was that most people saw the original trilogy first. Watching them in chronological order shows you how the galaxy morphs from this fun place of adventure with a functional (if bureaucratic) government and at the centre of it is this innocent kid. And we get to watch all that gradually get deconstructed over three films. By the time we start A New Hope, we know quite how much these characters have all lost. People forget the original trilogy wasn't perfect. Personally, I rank RotS, TFA and RO higher than it. I know everybody's personal Star Wars rankings are always going to be furiously smacked down by fellow fans but that's part and parcel of being a Star Wars fan. No one can really agree on anything...perhaps with the exception of AotC being generally perceived as the weakest. Most people I know do rank that at or very near the bottom. The funny thing about RotJ (which everyone sees as better than the prequels by default without really thinking about it) is that people forget how controversial the Ewoks were due to the way they contrasted with the tone of the rest of the trilogy - they probably wouldn't have been out of place in the prequels. We ignore that inclusion though because we've convinced ourselves that the original trilogy will always be superior just because it's the original trilogy. Then again, not objectively looking at sequels/prequels and relying on sentiment to enforce our opinions is hardly a phenomenon unique to Star Wars - it happens with gaming all the damn time.
Lucas Williams This is what I was referring to in my initial comment: the idea that the prequels were equal or better than the originals, and the thinking that the originals were not actually freakin' amazing when taken by themselves. I'm not saying the original trilogy was perfect, but I *am* saying it had very few problems, the Ewoks probably being the biggest of them. Still, those problems were *nowhere* near as bad or as numerous as the ones in the prequels. I don't feel like getting into an argument about it though, and there are no doubt many places on the internet you could look to find better constructed monologues than I could make here. The guys at Red Letter Media come to mind, with their Mr Plinkett reviews, but if you're a Star Wars fan, you've probably already seen those. Another video you probably have not seen (because he usually doesn't make this kind of content) is the Amazing Atheist "Why the Star Wars Prequels suck". I found that quite interesting, because he managed to pinpoint a single problem with the prequels, from which most of the other major problems spiral outward from. I would recommend that video to any Star Wars fan, and to writers in general. However, while I see the prequels as inferior movies, there were some things I *did* enjoy. A lot of people said they didn't like the political/economic conspiracy stuff that cropped up in the second and third prequels, but I really enjoyed it. I also liked that we got to see these fantastic other planets at the height of the senatorial power. We got to see the Jedi order before it was eradicated, and that was pretty cool too. In general, it was fun to just revisit that universe, the look and the feel of it all, aside from the CGI characters.
Star wars films in order of greatness: Rogue squadron--Superb, great effects, fast paced and good acting Return of the jedi-- Good apart from stupid teddybears 1977 original--Good apart from the added cgi in the re-releases Disney reboot#1--Ok i guess, cant really remember much about it, which isnt good Empire strikes back--Pretty meh with boring yoda bits, AT-AT`s are cool though Disney reboot#2--Forgettable film with nice special effects, much worse than first reboot Holiday special--So bad its good, at least its entertaining in its weird awfulness The 90`s prequels --Fucking awful, full of boring dialogue and dreadful acting. The 3 films blend into 1 tedious ordeal. Good special effects though.

Herc's Adventure was a great game that was derailed entirely by timing. It had the works: satisfying gameplay; appealing graphics; three different playable characters, with different playing styles; kickass character and enemy designs; kitschy tunes; a large, open world map; a decent challenge and a funny storyline. What doomed this title is it came out right around the same time as Disney's Hercules. The massive marketing campaign for that movie, complete with a licensed game release, totally overshadowed Herc's Adventure. I saw a kid hold up a copy of Herc's Adventure, for the PSX, and declare "that's not Hercules", before putting it back down. His loss was my gain, because I snatched it up right behind him.
Oh my God, that Encarta 95 intro... Chills from the nostalgia! I remember fucking with my grandfather's computer for years as a kid. Encarta 95 being one of the few things I could actually do on the thing.
Hahaha...your videos are impressive. I can imagine they take a long time to make. But it's stuff like that people like to watch you know. I've heard people (including myself) say that they don't watch TV anymore, but secretly the shows with higher production quality are the most popular. So keep going..you're doing very well I think.
I used to play hercs adventure on ps1 in the late 90s and I always played zombies when that came out. I absolutely did not know they were related and they were both some of my favorite games. That’s awesome
hi dan i am a new subscriber... been catching up on your game histories videos. i really love your video style and how indepth you go all the while accompanied by cool video and pics relating to the subject. well done! cant wait for more.
The fact there is a character named Dr Tongue also is an SCTV reference. There's another SCTV reference with the crane shot courtesy of Johnny LaRue. Both of which are characters that were played by John Candy on SCTV.
To this day, I wonder what Dr. Tongue's deal is. Did he make the monsters or simply unleash them? What was he trying to accomplish and why? Did he destroy the whole world or just about 50 isolated areas?
I don't know if there are so many zombie games because the world really loves Zombie's that much. I think it's just because zombies are such a convenient enemy in video-games. They don't need to explain where they come from, why there are so many of them, why they move in predictable patterns or do dumb things, or why they go take so many hits to go down. They're the easiest antagonist to utilize, aside from Nazi's.
Hey man! Just wanted to stop by and say how much I love your videos! The content is great and really insightful, to the point where im watching about games I wouldnt really care about but the detail and history you provide is really compelling viewing for me! The editing is also pretty damn awesome too. Iv no idea what things you use for it but you do a superb job. Anyway, I better stop as this is verging on being unreadable for diabetics. Keep up the awesomeness. Danny
hahaha diabetics. Dude, i really REALLY appreciate the kind words. I spend aaaages on videos like this so its awesome when people like yourself notice :D
I didn't think much of ZAMN before I actually played it, a friend at school was putting it over. It wasn't until a year later at the toy store (KB?) they had a SNES setup with it to play, I was hooked I asked for it for Christmas. Loved it.
I think everybody I knew had this game when I was younger, and that's because it was a classic for all systems and it was 2player, so it was just a great game to buy and own.
I will also add: I've had my SNES for just about 2 decades and while my collection is tiny, I am extremely satisfied over the choices I went for... aside from the Shaq Fu that the pawn shop guys included along with the system but who's complaining.
@@shadowofalegend8316 i know everything is subjective, and i hate blasting and feeling like a dick but i never liked ZAMN at all, and i always loved top down run and guns... i think maybe its the art style and soundtrack that grate on me... but i did wanna say there are so many (subjectively) better games of its ilk from the era that you should try like Pocky and Rocky (Ki Ki Kai Kai in japan) series, Elemental Master (though it plays more like a shmup), Legend of Valkyrie, Twinkle Tale ( i know it was japanese only at the time) the Ninja (on sega master system), Mercs, Shock Troopers, Gain Ground, Final Zone, Granada, and much more... i guess my point is, while im glad people enjoy it, i just feel ZAMN is way overrated compared to its much better competitors...but nevermind enjoy your snes... it does rock, again try Pocky and Rocky (both) on it...
OH MY GOD ENCARTA 95! I completely forgot about it. I remember going to the computers in the school library and finding the only song it had, David Bowie's Changes and blasting it!
Aw shit, this is a classic. It was one of the first games I played on my SNES when I first got into gaming as a kid. Played that to death until my SNES suffered unjustly from a basketball accident. It was pretty tough getting a feel for it at the time. I remember getting my ass kicked on multiple occasions (especially on the Football level.) Definitely brought back some fond memories. Good stuff!
+Gino Giovannina hahaha I'm glad my video helped bring back the sad memories of loosing your #Snes :( hahaha Hope you stick around and find plenty of stuff to keep yourself entertained
+Daniel “Slope's Game Room” Ibbertson Haha yeah, I plan on purchasing one sometime later. Not the biggest fan of emulators and I prefer having physical copies of titles, old or not. I'm viewing other content you've put out, some of which I had no idea existed in gaming. Then again, I grew up in the early 90's so my knowledge is limited.
+Gino Giovannina Thats cool mate, as you have probably noticed I like to do it so that about 50% of my content is stuff you know (like this) and the other is stuff you may not know (like "the sandy white story") :)
This video was incredible mate! You did a fantastic job here. I had NO idea about Herc's Adventures?!?!?! Unfortunately I don't have a Sega Saturn yet and it's unlikely I'll get my hands on a copy of the game if it's sought after, but maybe one day.... one day...! I am luck enough to have Zombies on the Mega Drive though and it's one of my favourite games!
MyGamerXP HANG ON! HOW ARE YOU COMMENTING ON THIS! IT ISN'T LIVE YET!!!! *cough*cough*patreonperks*cough*cough* Ahhhh yes I was happy with how this one turned out :) and I too did not know of Herc's Adventure until I was tagged in one of those daily posts by RGG on twitter. It's a seriously good game. Unfortunately the Saturn version only came out in America, so unless you can import it I would say just go with PS1. It is also available on PS Network, but again... only in America! AAAHHHHHHHH Cheers for the feedback as usual buddy :)
Daniel Ibbertson Haha oh yes! Worth every penny! :D I wish I could give more than $1 to support you, but unfortunately I'm not really in the position to give anything without sacrificing something else. I don't have much of what you would call "disposable income" at the moment, but maybe in the future :-) Also thanks for the heads up about the PlayStation version. That may be the one I have to go for, even though in your video you said the Saturn one was better :-)
Amazing review! I didn't even know that the third game was made by the original team. Also, it takes place in my country! I might pick it up and play it sometime soon.
Zombies Ate My Neighbors is one game in need of a remake or reboot. Add twin stick shooter controls...that'd be the only real change needed in the gameplay/control department in my opinion. (and of course an option to switch back to the classic control scheme)
It was one thing when you say it's a trilogy, one game being developed as something elsr then getting an asset transfer, then you say Herc's Adventure is kind of a third game cause it's somewhat similar and shares most of the development team...You hadn't crossed the line until you said Herc's Adventure is a better game, with better gameplay AND a better soundtrack. ZAMN has one of the best soundtracks ever to date.
Aww none of the SNES music. It's gonna sound strange to someone growing up with that Yamaha chip, but it's the extra definition in those instruments that make it music to my ears.
i currently have zombies ate my neighbors both on sega and snes along with the rom hack called out no more zombies ate my neighbors and i just bought a bootleg of ghoul patroll been wanting it for a while
don't forget the spiritual successor, monster madness for the 360 and PS3. the game got a lot of shit but I think it's insanely fun and really captures the goofy take on classic monster movies the same way zombies ate my neighbors did.
You don't get the Star Wars hype? I don't really understand the enthusiasm about Star Trek an it's humanoids... I completely recognize the Star Wars movies as timeless masterpieces.
This reminds me of my favorite movie trilogy: Gremlins, Gremlins 2: A New Batch, and Mrs. Doubtfire.
I LOVED when Mrs. Doubtfire ate after midnight and turned into Robin Williams ! :D
@@dede9806 i loved when Robin Williams ate again in the morning and became mrs doubtfire.
Police academy, police academy 2, and airplane
Herc is a prequel. Turns out Hades set the stages for what would happen hundreds of years earlier. An aged Herc became the evil Doctor and reanimated the zombies using midiclorians.
This reminds me of my favorite movie trilogy: Terminator, Terminator 2 , and Finding Nemo.
Yes because anything past two is two much when it comes to terminator
😂😂😂
I loved ZAMN so much as a kid. Still love going back to play it occasionally.
Just announced that it's going to be ported to the Nintendo Switch.
@gameexstreme RB its coming to pc also on this month.
It's coming to everything boys. We've made it to the promise land of great remasters. Stay safe and game. 💚
@@QwizzyXD be real, its not a remaster, its a rerelease. Added content makes not a remaster; rather improved gameplay and graphics do.

If Herc's Adventure is part of the "troligy" because it uses the same engine , then Big Sky Trooper should be considered as part of it too.
Also BEYOND OASIS on Genesis.
Herc's Adventures has the same mechanics, but it's not a trilogy.

Subbed! I saw you on last night's RetroUnlimLive hangout. I had a spot of trouble to find your channel but Harry was kind to point it out to me.
The Highlander Ahhhhh sweet, glad you was able to find it :D cheers for subbing brother
Hahaha...your videos are impressive. I can imagine they take a long time to make. But it's stuff like that people like to watch you know. I've heard people (including myself) say that they don't watch TV anymore, but secretly the shows with higher production quality are the most popular. So keep going..you're doing very well I think.
I fell in love with Maniac Mansion the moment I sat down to play it on my NES ❤ and it had a battery save and not a tedious password system to boot 👍
"Zeek" is the correct pronunciation of "Zeke". Spectacular video and love this channel.
he's british ;-; so uhh
Fuckin' Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker...
All i get is parts for the Zeke Walker.
This is an awful video, honestly
@@ttvmarcyy7906 so am I but I pronounce it correctly so that's not an excuse
Just bought this game this weekend. . . pretty pumped to start putting some gameplay footage up for it whenever it arrives.
best game I've played as a child and even now. :)
+Darkness Slayer hell ya
Great video mate, loved ZAMN back in the day.
+TheOne Jat ZAMN is so good and really holds up well :D
I used to play hercs adventure on ps1 in the late 90s and I always played zombies when that came out. I absolutely did not know they were related and they were both some of my favorite games. That’s awesome
You're the new "All your History are belong to us"
+Dakebinator thats quite breathtaking to hear that :D
Dennis the Menace is from 1951.
Very cool!
i just loved this game back than. ..
hi dan i am a new subscriber... been catching up on your game histories videos. i really love your video style and how indepth you go all the while accompanied by cool video and pics relating to the subject. well done! cant wait for more.
Omg I swear, If they ever made a Zombies Ate My Neighbors movie.......I would effing diiieee. *cough* pun intended of course
What great editing! You deserve more subs.
The fact there is a character named Dr Tongue also is an SCTV reference. There's another SCTV reference with the crane shot courtesy of Johnny LaRue. Both of which are characters that were played by John Candy on SCTV.
GREAT JOB BRO! This came out PERFECT! I loved this game growing up (the original on SNES)
Half-Life 3 confirmed - but it was released with it's international title "Dance Dance Revolutions"
To this day, I wonder what Dr. Tongue's deal is.
Did he make the monsters or simply unleash them? What was he trying to accomplish and why? Did he destroy the whole world or just about 50 isolated areas?
I don't know if there are so many zombie games because the world really loves Zombie's that much. I think it's just because zombies are such a convenient enemy in video-games. They don't need to explain where they come from, why there are so many of them, why they move in predictable patterns or do dumb things, or why they go take so many hits to go down. They're the easiest antagonist to utilize, aside from Nazi's.
It's "zombies" or "Nazis" unless the zombies and Nazis own something.
Hey man! Just wanted to stop by and say how much I love your videos! The content is great and really insightful, to the point where im watching about games I wouldnt really care about but the detail and history you provide is really compelling viewing for me!
The editing is also pretty damn awesome too. Iv no idea what things you use for it but you do a superb job. Anyway, I better stop as this is verging on being unreadable for diabetics. Keep up the awesomeness. Danny
hahaha diabetics. Dude, i really REALLY appreciate the kind words. I spend aaaages on videos like this so its awesome when people like yourself notice :D
I didn't think much of ZAMN before I actually played it, a friend at school was putting it over. It wasn't until a year later at the toy store (KB?) they had a SNES setup with it to play, I was hooked I asked for it for Christmas. Loved it.
+add37j pretty much the same for me, big fan of all the games
I think everybody I knew had this game when I was younger, and that's because it was a classic for all systems and it was 2player, so it was just a great game to buy and own.
I have had ZAMN for years and after playing it so many times, I'm still not bored. It is a truly a satisfying experience.
I will also add: I've had my SNES for just about 2 decades and while my collection is tiny, I am extremely satisfied over the choices I went for... aside from the Shaq Fu that the pawn shop guys included along with the system but who's complaining.
@@shadowofalegend8316 i know everything is subjective, and i hate blasting and feeling like a dick but i never liked ZAMN at all, and i always loved top down run and guns... i think maybe its the art style and soundtrack that grate on me... but i did wanna say there are so many (subjectively) better games of its ilk from the era that you should try like Pocky and Rocky (Ki Ki Kai Kai in japan) series, Elemental Master (though it plays more like a shmup), Legend of Valkyrie, Twinkle Tale ( i know it was japanese only at the time) the Ninja (on sega master system), Mercs, Shock Troopers, Gain Ground, Final Zone, Granada, and much more... i guess my point is, while im glad people enjoy it, i just feel ZAMN is way overrated compared to its much better competitors...but nevermind enjoy your snes... it does rock, again try Pocky and Rocky (both) on it...
OH MY GOD ENCARTA 95! I completely forgot about it. I remember going to the computers in the school library and finding the only song it had, David Bowie's Changes and blasting it!
Aw shit, this is a classic. It was one of the first games I played on my SNES when I first got into gaming as a kid. Played that to death until my SNES suffered unjustly from a basketball accident. It was pretty tough getting a feel for it at the time. I remember getting my ass kicked on multiple occasions (especially on the Football level.)
Definitely brought back some fond memories. Good stuff!
+Gino Giovannina hahaha I'm glad my video helped bring back the sad memories of loosing your #Snes :( hahaha Hope you stick around and find plenty of stuff to keep yourself entertained
+Daniel “Slope's Game Room” Ibbertson Haha yeah, I plan on purchasing one sometime later. Not the biggest fan of emulators and I prefer having physical copies of titles, old or not. I'm viewing other content you've put out, some of which I had no idea existed in gaming. Then again, I grew up in the early 90's so my knowledge is limited.
+Gino Giovannina Thats cool mate, as you have probably noticed I like to do it so that about 50% of my content is stuff you know (like this) and the other is stuff you may not know (like "the sandy white story") :)
I'm an early 2000s kid and I played the hell out of this game!
grabbed by the ghoullies would be my pick to the third sequel.
It's the closest we have to a 3D spiritual successor!
Hey man your videos are truly excellent, there a pleasure to watch. :)
+Adam Watson cheers adam, im glad u enjoy them :D
Love that game! And learned stuff again while being entertained! And yes I've actually read "this stuff"! :P
This video was incredible mate! You did a fantastic job here. I had NO idea about Herc's Adventures?!?!?! Unfortunately I don't have a Sega Saturn yet and it's unlikely I'll get my hands on a copy of the game if it's sought after, but maybe one day.... one day...!
I am luck enough to have Zombies on the Mega Drive though and it's one of my favourite games!
MyGamerXP HANG ON! HOW ARE YOU COMMENTING ON THIS!
IT ISN'T LIVE YET!!!!
*cough*cough*patreonperks*cough*cough*
Ahhhh yes I was happy with how this one turned out :) and I too did not know of Herc's Adventure until I was tagged in one of those daily posts by RGG on twitter. It's a seriously good game. Unfortunately the Saturn version only came out in America, so unless you can import it I would say just go with PS1.
It is also available on PS Network, but again... only in America! AAAHHHHHHHH
Cheers for the feedback as usual buddy :)
Daniel Ibbertson Haha oh yes! Worth every penny! :D
I wish I could give more than $1 to support you, but unfortunately I'm not really in the position to give anything without sacrificing something else. I don't have much of what you would call "disposable income" at the moment, but maybe in the future :-)
Also thanks for the heads up about the PlayStation version. That may be the one I have to go for, even though in your video you said the Saturn one was better :-)
Great stuff Dan, Stick a Zombie in front of anything and i love it :)
Gashead Steve I am exactly the same :)
this game was off the chain. as hard as freaking gauntlet with all those levels.
+bs4830 ahhhhhh hell yes. Gauntlet... Might need to cover that 1 day
Hahah I remember this game boy old days I wish they come back
Gaming Gamers thanks for commenting buddy
Damn, I loved this game on Gens. Played it in like 2012 as a 9 year old.
Amazing review! I didn't even know that the third game was made by the original team. Also, it takes place in my country! I might pick it up and play it sometime soon.
Zombies Ate My Neighbors is one game in need of a remake or reboot. Add twin stick shooter controls...that'd be the only real change needed in the gameplay/control department in my opinion. (and of course an option to switch back to the classic control scheme)
Simon pegg is Ashens
+Tristan Brown mind... Blown
I most likely would run out to see a Zombies ate my Neighbors film as soon as it gets out. I am an avid collector of B-movies.
Same here hahaha bring it on
i played hercs adventures and zombies ate my neighbors when i was a kid, no idea there was a connection
Fantastic as always
TheNintendoFreaks :) thanks buddy glad u enjoy :D
Great video, one little thing, Dennis the Menace has been around since 1951!
O really?
yeah his haircut was ahead of its time!
Have you not read the Beano?
It was one thing when you say it's a trilogy, one game being developed as something elsr then getting an asset transfer, then you say Herc's Adventure is kind of a third game cause it's somewhat similar and shares most of the development team...You hadn't crossed the line until you said Herc's Adventure is a better game, with better gameplay AND a better soundtrack. ZAMN has one of the best soundtracks ever to date.
Amazing video. Great job!
+Carla Gobatti more than welcome Carla :D
+Carla Gobatti more than welcome carla :) hope the video wet your zonbiee appetite
Aww none of the SNES music. It's gonna sound strange to someone growing up with that Yamaha chip, but it's the extra definition in those instruments that make it music to my ears.
In the US of A, we have a different Denice the Menace, he is a nice fellow that never got into trouble
There was a movie that was very Zombies Ate My Neighbors-esque... and it actually predates ZAMN: The Night of the Comet.
OOOOOOOOO gonna defo have to check this out!
I was unaware of the existence of both those latter two games. I am keen to try them now.
+Top Hat Gaming Man Hercs adventure is well worth checking out buddy
I love your videos! Make more!
+Sugar Hieroglyph yes sir
Oh man.. hurcs was one of those games I was only able to rent, but wished I owned
*Maniac Mansion was released for the NES in 1990.
Is it me or does Maniac Mansion have a kickass track.
But the tune in Zombies ate my Neighbors was classic material.
Grim Fandango is without a doubt the best game that Lucas Arts' released
You forgot about George Sanger who did the music for zombie ate my neighbor and Maniac Mansion.
lol what the heck, we used to have that 3D space pinball game on our old family computer xD
Nothing like a epic burp to open a video ;)
+Tenpin Plays hahaha
Hydra wasn't a god. It was kind of just a monster.
i currently have zombies ate my neighbors both on sega and snes along with the rom hack called out no more zombies ate my neighbors and i just bought a bootleg of ghoul patroll been wanting it for a while
I half expected the third game to be Monster Madness, it's heavily inspired by Zombies ate my neighbours.
+Tanukitsune I don't believe I know this one! Any good?
+Daniel “Slope's Game Room” Ibbertson It's a pretty great twin stick shooter.
Sweet, gonna check this out this weekend :D
don't forget the spiritual successor, monster madness for the 360 and PS3. the game got a lot of shit but I think it's insanely fun and really captures the goofy take on classic monster movies the same way zombies ate my neighbors did.
Zombies Ate My Neighbors! the Movie from director Michael Bay.
+Skidoosh Layman ahhhhhh too much lens flare
I believe that's J. J. Abrams. Michael Bay likes Explosions, J.J. likes Lens Flare
Expect a lot of zombies and monsters exploding to bits if that movie ever gets made! ;)
Ya um no... Herc's adventure is stupidly expensive on both ps1 and SS so I will not be adding them to my collection.
Yeah, too bad it's so expensive, it actually looks like something fun.
You don't get the Star Wars hype? I don't really understand the enthusiasm about Star Trek an it's humanoids... I completely recognize the Star Wars movies as timeless masterpieces.
Great video.
It is much more informative than other reviews on TH-cam.
Keep up the good work.
sonic meerkat thats very nice of you to say :) thanks for commenting
I enjoyed watching! Thank you for bigging up such a brilliant game :D How about a Cannon Fodder review?
***** Thanks so much :), I get a lot of requests.... however... THAT IS A GREAT REQUEST :)
Because it was from the
I agree with you on Star Wars movies. They are better than good, but I don't get the obsession over them
