Hey Mike, hope you see this tip for it might help. The Fire Extinguisher not only freezes enemies, it makes them vulnerable! You do double damage to any frozen enemy. For instance, the chainsaw maniacs take 150 shots to kill, while a frozen one takes 75!
I've played this game endlessly for the Genesis, one of my top 5 all time favorite games, it can become very nerve wrecking if you don't have the right weapons, those werewolves and chainsaw guy were such a pain to deal with
There's a hack of this game that lets you cycle backwards through either of your items. You do that by holding L and then cycling by pressing B or A. So if you ever pass an item, you can cycle back to that item. But yeah I would love it better if this game allowed you to pause to switch items, while still having the quick cycling at the same time.
Underrated game music throughout with that memorable organ....when I was around 7yrs old me and my neighbor friend used to play this game all the time but we could never beat it....it had soo many levels!!
1:11:10 Also one piece of advice about the monster potions is that if you don't move around while using the potion and just keep punching without moving, the time you stay the monster will be way longer than if you are constantly moving around. So it's on a timer until you transform back but whenever you move around as the monster, it lowers the time faster. Also, you can only get the "Extra Bonus Victim" once per level so you can't go from like 1 to 5 victims at the end of level with 160,000 points or something.
A: I have a deep fondness for this game. Took me 3 years after buying it as a teen to beat it, but I still love it. You basically gotta look at this game as a souls-like, but even more impatient. Get good at ALL basics or you're screwed and may as well reset. Passwords are useless for the most part. Use what you need on what is absolutely necessary or it's not going to be good for you... and time management... it's a truly hard game. Happy to see you play it. Love the soundtrack, too. B: a dollop of Daisy 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks, Mike.
This game is one of the greatest underrated gems on the snes imo, put so many hours into this game back in the day but never could beat it, lot of memories with this one, i still play it occasionally .
I've beat this game about 2 or 3 times all the way through, ..It's one of my fav snes games, but it's tough as balls! I would recommend saving lots of ammo and items in the beginning. Later on you might not be able to grab all of the power ups in a level when you're desperately trying to save neighbors and exit. Knowing when to use the right weapons and tools with the appropriate monsters and situations is important. There's a lot to this game..Including making sure to save at the least one or two neighbors at the end of the levels and learning how to quickly switch through the terrible inventory. One of the best weapons imo is the fire extinguisher, You're able to quickly kill the blobs with a solid blast and it does amazing things like freeze bigger enemies (like the chainsaw guy) and when they are well frozen quickly switch to the squirt gun and hold down the fire button on them. They should* stay stun-locked until they die! Saving a lot of bazooka ammo and the like. I've only done this trick on the snes version.. oh yeah and you know that wiggly purple monster that comes out of the things you're searching? He can be avoided sometimes if you are not super close to what you're searching AND looking in a different direction..I've noticed you're able to sometimes* avoid his attack. That asshole be in pretty much anything searchable. In situations were you would want to use a monster potion (lets say for a level with lots of walls, pokey plants or giant baby) instead try gambling with the mystery potion.. There's a good chance of it giving you a useful power-up to help with the problem or just filling up your health! Saving you precious monster potions and med kits...But On the flip side you want to make sure you have at least 3 health bars
Once you get a game sense of what items and weapons you've picked up , it will be easier to flip through the inventory.. I try to start counting from the squirt gun and from the medkit.. if that makes sense..most levels (from the start) will let you stay put without any trouble, and you can quickly blast through what you got on you and try to count how many presses it takes to get to them. It's the only thing holding this game back from being as awesome as it is. You have to be a damn math master on the side. When you're flipping through fast lets say~ and you miss what you're trying to get..I tried to mentally remember what the RED squirt gun and WHITE and RED med kit looks like from a visual memory to start back on... From the sounds of it, there's hacks that fix this issue🤘
Took me 3 years after buying this in the 90s to finally beat it. Truly a hard game. It's almost unfair in some parts, but that was also part of the fun. Still love this fucked up lil game.
I know you're planning strategies to beat the game so I wanted to give you a tip that has helped me. @1:20:20 you walked through a door that collapsed behind you, blocking your return to the exit. If you find yourself stuck by this again, the bazooka can destroy those blockades. Hope that helps! PS: I'm totally logging on twitch after this to drop you my prime sub. Thanks for playing, and keeping the classics fun to watch!
Great game, and great run. One suggestion - in the lava level with all the fire babies, use a monster potion. The lava won't hurt you and it's easy to rack up a ton of points. I think those guys are like 400 each.
Hi' Mike. I got some tips for you if you want to give Zombies another go 🙂 - Always keep the First Aid kit selected so you are ready to use it when low on HP. - Maybe ignore some weapons so you have less to cycle through. The Football is basically useless. Tomatoes are not especially great either, and they are often weird to use, and won't always come out. Popsicles only excells against blops, but then again, you could just use the Fire Extinguisher. - Spacegun is good against ants, but not much else, except for slowing some enemies. - When you freeze enemies they take 50% more damage or something like that. This is especially effective against the Chainsaw Guys. Freeze them for a while, the longer you spray them, the longer they will stay frozen, and then spam watergun or the lawnmower. It's my preferred way of getting rid of them. - The blue potion makes you invincible and let's you walk on water! - Use Speedy Shoes in stages where you have to save people fast, like in stages where they will turn into werewolves. - When you saved all the neighbors in a stage, toggle the radar off to get a better view.
Taken from a GameFAQs walkthru: Skeleton Key is located on Lvl 15, in the southwest part of the map. Its on an island surrounded by water, Toe Jam and Earl style. That should help when you get to the door on lvl 22 with the secret level and flamethrower.
This game pissed directly in your face if you thought you were going to beat it your first couple playthroughs. It saturated your hair with it's stagnant piss, yet we still kept coming back for more of that delicious yellow violence.
Hey Mike good to see you making another video again appreciate it and making my day made my day I mean anyway that's a good choice for a video I do love this game a lot!!! It'll zombie ate my neighbors this game is a classic I remember when it came out and I didn't know what was going on I didn't even know what to do all I knew was that hey I'm killing zombies
That info about playing the game from level 34 to the last level is a really great idea, I never thought of doing that. You could essentially break the game up into 3 parts. Levels 1-24, 25 - 36, 36 - 50 I always thought you absolutely had to beat it in one go. But seeing as how fast you lose neighbors for ridiculous reasons, playing it in parts is the best way to do it.
TRIVIA: The Flamethrower is incontrovertibly the greatest secret of all time in Zombies Ate My Neighbors. In Level 22 [Revenge of Dr. Tongue] there is a special Skull Door near the center of the level that you DON'T need to go through, and is actually partially hidden (the path to it, anyway). Thus, you must've grabbed the Skeleton Key in level fifteen or picked one up in a storage area (highly unlikely) in order to open the door. When you eventually DO open the door, you find a Bonus Level Icon inside. Most people assume that's what the door and the Skeleton Key was for. But that wasn't it! You can walk into the wall to your right and move around a bit until you hear a "bleep." Then the Flamethrower is all yours!
Giant Baby Use Pandora's Box against him. It only takes 4 or 5. And keep just in screen. Chainsaw Guy Freeze with 10 units of Fire Extinguisher and shoot him with the squirt gun Demon Dolls 6 pack of pop Football Players Footballs 😆 Vampires Cross Ants Bubble Gun Just a little advice for those enemies.
This game's actually also about item management. There's no way you'll ever beat the final boss unless you have a huge array of weaponry and monster potions, even then you'll probably be throwing plates and forks at him in the finale after running out of everything good and powerful.
Also if I'm not mistaken you lose all the items you'd collected if you enter a password. So not playing through several levels before getting to the end boss would make it near impossible.
@@overnightdelivery Yes, since the final boss has two forms and the first one is really annoying. It's not impossible to beat starting like 10-15 levels before it though.
@@nukem918 Forks and knives do against some monsters, since they're silver but plates do not do as much damage. They can be useful though. The starting water pistol is actually good against the second form of the final boss.
I played this game at 8 years back in 95, an old man who had a little arcade with SNES inse the arcade boxes lend it to me and I lent him Mickey Mania, I beat the shit of this gem and love it since. Also, this was my first and only approach to zombies on video games so far, when I heard about resident evil for the first time and they mentioned it was a zombies game I could only think it was going to be similar to ZAMN.
This is the kind of game that I will never play because it's like it doesn't want you to ever win. So many of those neighbor deaths were completely unavoidable. You can't even see the person you need to rescue, and they cry out and they're dead. So you have to know where they are ahead of time and warp speed your way to them? It just seems cheap. A game can be hard but it can still feel like it wants you to beat it, it wants you to win. This game actively antagonizes you and does not want to let you win. I gather that might be a draw to beating it, but boy, trying to beat this game would just put me in a foul mood.
I was a developer for "zombies fucked my neighbors in the ass". it was essentially a clone of puzzle game yoshi's cookie, which was popular at the time.
Well, it's been a year. Has he beaten it yet? On lvl 9, you can drink a speed potion and get all the hostages before they turn into werewolves. In the first Martians and cheerleaders level, if you get both blue shoes or use them, you get the secret level bonus. You can use pandora's box to save hostages.
true, i can't imagine ever beating it. too hard. asking the player to cycle through items while still playing is way unfair. it should stop the game when you go to switch items. even then they game is brutal beyond belief, but not having that pause for items makes it something i'd never even consider trying to beat
The guy from the lab in the first castle level didn't explode, he teleported away. He is Dr. Tongue and that isn't even his final form! Having a great amount weed wanker fu.. weed whacker fuel will help you out when confronting the evil Doctor. I seem to recall that you can save Dr. Tongue's son, evil in that particular case isn't hereditary I guess.
No way! I wish I was in the stream for this one. Definitely one of my all time fave games. It looks like you got screwed by the spider in level 30 when the cheerleader was just barely on screen. I remember so many times as a kid losing this exact same way! Honestly this is one of those games where in order to get better and not lose all 10 people, you have to play it several times through and remember where certain victims in high risk spots are. And honestly starting at the beginning makes the game easier since if you use a password to start halfway through the game, it's harder to get your inventory up and have sufficient weapons to survive. Would love to see this game in the future and I gotta get to the stream next time! :)
Just finished Zombies Ate my Neighbors on Switch. If it wasn’t for the ability to save your game there’s no way I would have been able to complete it. Monster potions are incredibly valuable when needed and ghost potions are useful if you just need to collect and go.
I love playing Zombies Fucked My Neighbors in the Ass!! No real advice for the game it's all about experience just like most retro titles, once you know each stage inside and out you 'remember' how to conquer them all individually. The Dr. Tongue stage I recall was a good one for finding awesome weapons.
also code BCDF allows you to play the Hidden Stage 0 "Day of the Tentacle" and lets you enter Stage 1 with the Plasma Gun, it's just hard to save all 10 Neighbors before the Martians get to them so you may be starting Stage 1 at a handicap just to get a decent weapon Still, it increases the game from 55 levels to 56. And it's a cool shoutout to another cool LucasArts game (Day of the Tentacle the point-and-click PC game)
I think you can grind full extra lives in the first two levels just by shooting the zombies before you lose any of the neighbors, because every 40000 points gives you an 1up if everybody is still alive.
@@mikematei If You Play Zombies Ate My Neighbors On The Nintendo Switch There Is A Save Features , A Load Features , A Reload Features Where You Pick Up Where You Left Off At And A Behind The Scenes Where You Watch A Videos Of The Creators Of Zombies Ate My Neighbors And Ghoul Patrol.
I played this game with a neighbor friend when it first came out we never beat the game but had fun with it. I have been playing this game alot more now that its on modern consoles. One day i will try to beat this game.
Such a shame you couldn't complete Zombies Ate My Neighbors Mike. Yeah this is why you need to save as many that way you aren't scrambling frantically for that one survivor. I hope to see you try again and topple that wonderful game.
I'm surprised you hadn't streamed this yet but glad to see it up! Edit: I can't believe that with zombies being worth 100 points each, the giant "Snakeoids" are ONLY worth 2000! That's just bad design.
The beginning of level 7, Dr tongues castle, the music sounds like a sped up version of the opening to the shining. Not sure if it's the same song or not but it certainly sounds like it
Back 1ce again w/ Zombies Ate My Neighbors. ME: "Neighbors"? (looks at title on the box) Oh, it _is_ "Neighbors." Why did I always think the title was 'Zombies Ate My NeighborHOOD'?
hey Mike. you know they have it on switch (physical) now? I mean, its been out. but its from limited run games. i only got it cause its paired with ghoul patrol. i use to play this as a real young kid and i ended up playing it alot and beating it with ease and just from remembering some key points in the game like the medkit locations, potions, invincibility items, speed shoes, and even which weapons counters which enemies. dont give up, its just addicting
I just started watching this but, already I'm wondering.. yeah, why can't you kill werewolves with silverware in movies.. almost said real life lol! I prefer the bullets for distance but, in a pinch.. fork in the nards!🤘
Mike you should really try out this rare SNES game called Whirlo and it's actually really good very tough and puts you in your place but it's so rewarding when you beat it and i think this game would be great for you! P.s try not to scream at your tv while playing this...it's not possible..

Giant Baby
Use Pandora's Box against him. It only takes 4 or 5. And keep just in screen.

Freeze with 10 units of Fire Extinguisher and shoot him with the squirt gun

This is such a good game. You should play the sequel Ghoul Patrol too.
The trick to this game is to lose all but one of your neighbors on level 1. Then you only need one neighbor per stage making some really easy.
You should try some of the hacks people made for this game
also code BCDF allows you to play the Hidden Stage 0 "Day of the Tentacle" and lets you enter Stage 1 with the Plasma Gun, it's just hard to save all 10 Neighbors before the Martians get to them so you may be starting Stage 1 at a handicap just to get a decent weapon
Still, it increases the game from 55 levels to 56. And it's a cool shoutout to another cool LucasArts game (Day of the Tentacle the point-and-click PC game)
My advice, use the right weapon for the right monster. Freeze the blob with popsicles. Throw silverware at werewolves.
Which is what I did
@@mikematei Yeah, I really should have watched it before commenting. I bought this game at Kay-Bee toys and played it a lot but I never beat it.
Hardest most addicting game
I was just playing this on the steam deck the other day.. still a timeless classic. just don't die because it's a wrap with that pea shooter.
How are you finding the Steam Deck so far?
@@P__114 I'm really enjoying it so far. if you don't mind tinkering with graphics settings from time to time it's a great addition to the stable.
@@dolo747 awesome!
I love the music in this game.
Never thought I'd see Mike hate Chucky
I did not know you could blow up the soda machines
I think you can grind full extra lives in the first two levels just by shooting the zombies before you lose any of the neighbors, because every 40000 points gives you an 1up if everybody is still alive.
Zombies F'ed My A!
One of my all time favs
Mike have you tried this on the Switch
no. why?
@@mikematei If You Play Zombies Ate My Neighbors On The Nintendo Switch There Is A Save Features , A Load Features , A Reload Features Where You Pick Up Where You Left Off At And A Behind The Scenes Where You Watch A Videos Of The Creators Of Zombies Ate My Neighbors And Ghoul Patrol.
level 6 that pyramid level had some serious metal slug vibes xD
One of my favs all time
The music to this game is so wicked, I love it. 🎵🎶
I played this game with a neighbor friend when it first came out we never beat the game but had fun with it. I have been playing this game alot more now that its on modern consoles. One day i will try to beat this game.
One of my favorite games. Keep going Mike love your streams
Such a shame you couldn't complete Zombies Ate My Neighbors Mike. Yeah this is why you need to save as many that way you aren't scrambling frantically for that one survivor.
I hope to see you try again and topple that wonderful game.
Loved this game until this day! 😂💗
1052 1:33:49. Surprising poll. I learned some new stuff about one of my favorite games on this stream.
Have you beaten this game?
@@mikemateioh god no. I got to level 30 when I was younger and haven't gotten that far again.
I'm surprised you hadn't streamed this yet but glad to see it up!
Edit: I can't believe that with zombies being worth 100 points each, the giant "Snakeoids" are ONLY worth 2000! That's just bad design.
Very nice. This game is brutal solo.
The beginning of level 7, Dr tongues castle, the music sounds like a sped up version of the opening to the shining. Not sure if it's the same song or not but it certainly sounds like it
I remember really enjoying this game as a kid, it'd be interesting to see if there's any difference between the SNES and Sega version.
I had this on saga and loved it as a kid
@@johnnieriot13 I love Saga too.
Sega had 1 special level "Day of the Tentacle"
the SNES ran a lot faster than the genesis version, SNES had better colors.
SNES has the flamethrower weapon that isn’t in the Genesis/Mega Drive version.
Back 1ce again w/ Zombies Ate My Neighbors.
ME: "Neighbors"? (looks at title on the box) Oh, it _is_ "Neighbors." Why did I always think the title was 'Zombies Ate My NeighborHOOD'?
I love and hate the game at the same time because it can be so punishing when you are not adequately equipped to kill enemies.
I wasted many a night trying to beat this game back in the 90's. Never finished it but loved to hate it for some reason.
Been playing this myself. Can I borrow your notes?
Try playing G-Darius HD
It's exactly like this, only different!
Well, that's one way to perfect your method. How many bodies did it take for the Z's to get it right?
hey Mike. you know they have it on switch (physical) now? I mean, its been out. but its from limited run games. i only got it cause its paired with ghoul patrol. i use to play this as a real young kid and i ended up playing it alot and beating it with ease and just from remembering some key points in the game like the medkit locations, potions, invincibility items, speed shoes, and even which weapons counters which enemies. dont give up, its just addicting
I like how they re-released this and ghoul patrol on PS4
Oh man you and James have to tackle this again.! I believe in ya ✌️
good game, played it a lot on the genesis 👍
At one point i had both Sega genesis and Snes versions love this game wish it had save slots instead of passwords system
This is a great one to watch. Cheerz mike oxwelling
Back again, just got done doing that live stream here on TH-cam I said I was gonna do, in previous comment. Now I have proof that I beat this game.
Wtf is the giant baby about? I'm too hungover to deal with that
You da man mike 🎮👍
Mike good stream. I like this good game . Your doing Excellent job Mike. Keep the good work.
1 of my favorite games Ever...I know mainly Everything about this game
yes! top 5 snes game. got a playthrough on my channel. definitely tough.
“Ok it’s that way.” *goes complete opposite way* “Where the f is it??” *goes original way* “Oh here it is.”🤦🏻♂️
I just started watching this but, already I'm wondering.. yeah, why can't you kill werewolves with silverware in movies.. almost said real life lol! I prefer the bullets for distance but, in a pinch.. fork in the nards!🤘
Mike you should really try out this rare SNES game called Whirlo and it's actually really good very tough and puts you in your place but it's so rewarding when you beat it and i think this game would be great for you!
P.s try not to scream at your tv while playing this...it's not possible..
Oh yeah that song on the 4th level is naanaananaa boo boo you cant get me?
I hope one day to see Mike (or Mike and James) to play Herc's Adventures for PS1.
Zombies Gangbanged My Neighbors
I wanna be like Mike ☺️
The mall part was fun
The cross also works on the mummies
Ghoul patrol is the sequel to this game and u don't think many people even know that there was a sequel.
nvm chat gave you the bad news about the skeleton key. hope you beat this game! it's a tough one
Damn this makes me want to buy the new collection that is out.
Me and my friend growing up played 2 player made it to level 28 in one sitting
