Bobby JCFHv Lichtenstein Most definitely. As campy and over the top as this game was there was definitely that 'It' factor a game like this needs. That legit sinking, uneasy feeling you'd get from hearing the chainsaw rev or seeing the sun set waiting for that werewolf howl. Many parts of this game legit scared me.
I love how the grilling neighbour only gives you 5 points while the barbecue (or whatever he is grilling) gives you 100 points, giving the hint that the neighbour is less important than the food
Me and my Dad used to sit and play this for hours together when I was a lot younger. Never got very far but great fun and a very underrated game. I thoroughly enjoyed your play through and to speed run it was very impressive! Loved watching the video! :)
There has been this image in my head, for a long time, about a giant baby stomping. I figured it was some cartoon from my past. But I couldn't remember it. And I kept thinking, why is it in my head? Was it a dream? But I let it go and just didn't even bother finding out. But just recently, my brother had and I was just casually talking, then out of the blue, he was like "I remember a game back when we were kids called ZOMBIES ATE MY NEIGHBORS". I was like "I don't remember". Then he was like, "look it up and see if you do". So I did and OMG!!! So many lost memories was suddenly remembered. 😂😂😂😂 Oh Wow! How could I forget!?
Your walk-through literally saved my life! Your tactics and knowledge of how to go through each level helped immensely! After playing this game for 25 fucking years I finally beat it!!!!!! Thank you so much for your help! Took me 5 hours...
Joel Hernandez I thought I imagined it! No one I knew remembered it and all I could remember was that Trampolines and lumberjacks were somehow involved. So happy I found this shit 😄
Amazing shit, dude. Serious props. I could never get further than like level 22 in this game as a kid, so it's awesome to see you destroy it. I can't imagine how stressful this run must be, knowing that one bad monster spawn could ruin the whole run. I knew when I saw you get that bazooka in the first trash bin that there had to be some RNG manipulation at work. I'm kind of curious how much of the routing and strats you had to figure out yourself, since this isn't a massively popular speed game.
Thanks! I figured most of it by myself. Including the RNG in level 1, and the routes for almost every level. The way the first drop works is by selecting the character at the right frame after a reset. Then just keep pressing up+left to ensure the RNG is consistent until you get to the bin. You can see more details about this run here: speeddemosarchive.com/ZombiesAteMyNeighbors.html
It had a fairly harsh password system tbh. If you jumped to later stages the difficulty got an effective hike because it didn't store your inventory, so you'd always start with a tiny number of items.
I used to play this game before i could walk This was the dark souls of our generation. Beat megaman x when i was 3 as well. Went back and tried to play megaman x a few years ago and could only beat the penguin boss. The first 5 minutes of you cycling your weapons to the music i was a little annoyed, but after that i fell in love with it. You're a god Major props. I only ever got to Frankenstein
there are only three games I cried after beating Zombies Ate My Neighbours The Immortal Russian Roulette with my crazed uncle in the basement after his Nam flashbacks overcame him and his Heroin dealer got arrested.
@@inceptional It was a bad running animation even relative to it’s time, when we picked up this fantastic game on launch day back im 1993. Toejam and Earl did it better two years earlier, as one example.
39:11 all made sense when I was older. The Mall is the most memorable part of the game for me and I still own this game. I played through it with my friend when we were kids. Eventually I played Resident Evil which lead me to renting George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead (1978) on VHS. In 2008 I met Ken Foree and Tom Savini from Dawn of the Dead and in 2010 I met George A. Romero which was like a dream come true for me, along with other main actors from the film. Even the composers Italian Rock group GOBLIN I saw perform live and met them after the show. I am a huge fan of Dawn of the Dead... and it all started from playing this game as a kid.
There were some levels that once I figured out what you were doing, it blew my mind. Inching forward and using a treasure chest to kill what ever was just about to attack someone. Or spawning a bunch of mummies because I assume only a certain amount can spawn? This stopped other mummies from spawning and killing a survivor. wow. Good job
I am in awe. Despite my best efforts over a decade of playing this game, my best friend and I only ever got as far as the Giant Ant Farm. I know a lot of people have said this, but you made it look so easy! Nice work.
When I play this as a kid and then a adult I would always get the last level but never could beat it, watching you play this makes me want to try again.
AAAAHH I miss this game, used to play it when my daughter was little. We had the sega channel lol. Got a connector thing from the cable company that would fit into the sega like a game. For a fee we would get like 30 games a month to choose from. Zombies Ate My Neighbors was a regular. Never made it close to level 99 though lol.
I remember the heavy sweat of playing level 20. Those damn worms man. For the longest time I thought they were indestructible.. Feels good watching you plow through them.
Watched this from beginning to end. Never thought it was possible, nevermind something someone could speed run. Amazing gameplay! So few close calls and so many exploits that blew my mind tbh! Might pick this game up again soon to give it a shot, but i doubt I'll get past the 20s! 😂
I like and hate how if you died at the chainsaw stage, the music continues playing while zombie blood runs down your screen, giving you straight chills 🥴🤣😭
Me and my dad beat this game a few years ago ( with the use of MANY save slots) and the pure joy we felt when it was finally over oh my goddddd it was amazing hell
I've beaten this Game Multiple times; in fact, I've purchased it again for my Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series S. I have every ACHIEVEMENT unlocked for this Masterpiece, except for the "Save all Neighbors" ACHIEVEMENT, on my Xbox Series S ! Excellent Game! Thank you for the video. Liked and Subscribed!
Yo también complete el juego a los 15 años fue difícil pero lo logré , es mi juego favorito y me llené de satisfacción al completarlo y no dejarlo a a la mitad como hize con otros juegos jejejeje 😉
Woah I remember this crazy game! One of my friends just left it at my house when he moved away. I didn't get very far but it definitely left an impression. You can tell the devs had fun making it.
I never thought to just save all the victims. I mean i tried! But after saving one i would move on to all the potion, money and health packs. No wonder i never made it past like level 20. Your strategic way is far superior! I will be evolving my strategy.
@@jboyxd6573 Really? Haha. I was just thinking about a fun horror video game rep character like the guy in this game to be in smash bros. Having a creepy eerie music and like, some monster double creature inside of him. But yeah. Imagine the graphics of this game in 3D. That would be amazing.
You have hell a lot of nerves to do this on original SNES, pal. I've done this game before, but no matter what (and how) i tried, game always finds someone who kills at least 1-3 neighbor from other side of screen. It is outstanding job, you most be quite proud for this one
never got past 12 or even 20 with random passwords... this is extremely therapeutic to watch and awesome too actually, i never knew the pyramid box was best used on the giant babies like a homing missile at a distance
Damn, well I'm impressed. I usually start losing neighbors around Level 10: No Assembly Required (Those evil dolls kill off a couple of soldiers before I can even act).
I use bazooka sound for brake screen for my channel. Great game! P.S: when i was young, i seating many hours and trying to pick up bazooka in first level. I'm happy man, i get it)
I loved the music , i was struggling to remeber the name of this game and the song (from level 1) was stucked in my head for the past days, thanks i found it 🤣

What a rhythmic person. Changing items to the music... I love that about this guy
2:08 lol
Lol especially the part at 33:03😂😂🤣🤣🤣!!
9:44
Yeah that was dope.
I found it unbearably annoying lol
Twenty whatever years later and this game still gives me anxiety
Still remember Level 4 with the revving of a chainsaw and it makes my stomach flip, that's the most memorable level for me
I have never had this much anxiety in any game ever.
the music, chainsaws, all of it!
Lol so many memories brought back by the chainsaws.
Bobby JCFHv Lichtenstein Most definitely. As campy and over the top as this game was there was definitely that 'It' factor a game like this needs. That legit sinking, uneasy feeling you'd get from hearing the chainsaw rev or seeing the sun set waiting for that werewolf howl. Many parts of this game legit scared me.
I never knew this game was actually beatable lol. It always seemed like the levels went on forever :(
Jrum178 yes I've bet the game but never perfect
Lol thought the
Same thing
Was it that hard? I beat it when I was in kindergarten...I need to play it again as an adult! I’m curious now
I remember ir being too tough. He makes it look easy.
Just a regular girl out there Who? No you didn’t
49 freaking levels?!
Well, I'm not going to beat my 10 year old self up from never being able to finish this one.
same. this game a was a beast.
I never realized how close I was as a kid! Lvl 36!
Why. Not. 50.
Plus the secret levels which makes it even more annoying
my dad gave me every password for the levels and i still couldnt beat it
we need a remake of this game, best game I ever played. and also nice game play friend
no remake, but wii console have them for sale too
Le terminateur what if they remade in 3D
Just play the original..
yusss they should make a updated version and then put it as a online free multiplayer game where u can team up with other players (max is 4 tho)
ha un français sa fait du bien !
As someone who played this like crazy as a kid and could never beat it, this is satisfying as hell to watch. Just absolutely annihilates the game.
I love how the grilling neighbour only gives you 5 points while the barbecue (or whatever he is grilling) gives you 100 points, giving the hint that the neighbour is less important than the food
Love how he played to the music, cycling through the items and weapons like that.
Some serious style points.
Me and my Dad used to sit and play this for hours together when I was a lot younger. Never got very far but great fun and a very underrated game. I thoroughly enjoyed your play through and to speed run it was very impressive! Loved watching the video! :)
ahh the memories... Excellent job Player 1
The music is so catchy. I’ve always loved it.
I think it is much better on the Genesis version.
@@counterweight320 I don’t think so the sega genesis is so “dead inside” while the snes version has sound effects making it catchy
This game was a damn masterpiece. Awesome music, gameplay, tons of levels, crazy scary.
1:28:19 The credits are so creative. Each production member is a character in the game :)
I love the soundtrack on this game
Music was perfect gave you a genuine fear
Me too
Evil castle middle of nowhere with poisonous sewage leaking into it?
Good spot to fill my inner tube and chill.
There has been this image in my head, for a long time, about a giant baby stomping. I figured it was some cartoon from my past. But I couldn't remember it. And I kept thinking, why is it in my head?

My theory is, they turned up the baby's speed until it became a credible threat.
I had that same thing happen to me
Omg me to man it got to the point where I just googled old game with giant stomping baby and I finally figured it out 😂 the memories man
This story is so relatable
Lol same but it was me trying to remember somee sort of doll level and tremor worm level
Your walk-through literally saved my life! Your tactics and knowledge of how to go through each level helped immensely! After playing this game for 25 fucking years I finally beat it!!!!!! Thank you so much for your help! Took me 5 hours...
One of the best games ever created for the SNES. My brother and i were playing it everyday =D
1:24:16 what an epic way to conclude such a chaotic speedrun. The boss introduction perfectly synchronizes with the music
My mom loved this game RIP MOM
Rip
rip
Minds did too we use to after school I couldn't wait to play rip to your mom dog
My dad lived this game too. R.I.P. Dad
Im sorry for your loss too
I was 5 when I finally played this game and struggled with the chainsaw guys . 24 years my son played and struggled with the same guys … lol
lol nice
The ancient artifact (cross) was the most effective weapon to use against them
Like father like son😂
this was the game that fueled my fear of zombies watching my brother and uncle play this
Me and my brother have been trying to figure out the name of this game for over a decade. And I finally found it
Joel Hernandez I thought I imagined it! No one I knew remembered it and all I could remember was that Trampolines and lumberjacks were somehow involved. So happy I found this shit 😄
Joel Hernandez Lmao same I had to search up zombie snes game
Im surprised you forgot. Its one of the most memorable names for a game ever.
Amazing shit, dude. Serious props. I could never get further than like level 22 in this game as a kid, so it's awesome to see you destroy it.

Remember playing this during my final year at school 24 years ago. Time waits for no man.
I used to play this game before i could walk
This was the dark souls of our generation.
Beat megaman x when i was 3 as well.
Went back and tried to play megaman x a few years ago and could only beat the penguin boss.
The first 5 minutes of you cycling your weapons to the music i was a little annoyed, but after that i fell in love with it. You're a god
Major props. I only ever got to Frankenstein
I will never be happy until this game is on the snes online on Switch this is literally one of my fav SNES games
LET'S FCKING GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it omfg 😍🤪😍🤪🤪🤪
It's coming to the Switch on June 29!!!!!
done
When someone says Dark Souls is hard, make them play this and regret being born.
there are only three games I cried after beating
Zombies Ate My Neighbours
The Immortal
Russian Roulette with my crazed uncle in the basement after his Nam flashbacks overcame him and his Heroin dealer got arrested.
So true.
@@judyhopps9380 Now that's some perfect "Read more" placement if I've ever seen it.
This my first game . Today i play at Bloodborne.
Man, the artist in this game was just REALLY good.
But the main character running animations are poor.
@@inceptional It was a bad running animation even relative to it’s time, when we picked up this fantastic game on launch day back im 1993. Toejam and Earl did it better two years earlier, as one example.
@@inceptional Very true, it’s subjective! The artwork is excellent.
Followed you all the way to the end for my platinum, thank goodness you can save it now lol
I like how you changed weapons to the rhythm of the melody as well as messing with the zombies @20:57 lol
At first I thought it was some tech I was missing, took me a minute to realize what he was doing. I love it.
Yea max out the sprites number so the game won't spawn new monsters right next to the victims.
Thank you for saving all the people!

Me and my best friend growing up who passed away recently this was our fav game. U r insanely good at it. Good video.
This run is blowing my mind. Good job!
Edit: I would have to imagine that the Martians are your worst enemy since they slow you down.
I finished it just once when I was a kid, felt like there were 100 levels. This game fuels my anxiety.
There were some levels that once I figured out what you were doing, it blew my mind. Inching forward and using a treasure chest to kill what ever was just about to attack someone.

Now THIS is a speedrun, not that neighbor manipulation BS

This game freaked me out as a kid. Great run by the way! I never understood though how a squirt gun was a viable weapon against the undead.
Holy water :)
This game is such a challenge, and you breeze through like it's nothing. Bravo.
You should 100% do a breakdown on your techniques and tips that you do while doing this run. This shit is amazing
Well there's a link in his description to pretty much every strats he does and where he got more nervous.
That music on level 25 is iconic and my everlasting memory of this game, it's good to hear it again and see this game again, well done!
Mad props! Even though I knew you beat the game without losing a single neighbor, I still gasped in horror at every close call
Wow you’re pro!! Loved the level music mocking with item switch.
27 years later, and I see the "Day of the Tentacle" level for the 1st time. Never once in my childhood did I come across that.
I love the item switching to the beat of the music
I love how he keeps switching the items in the rhythm of the music.
I had forgotten how good this game was. You played it so well. Excellent work.
Why are all the innocent civilians so blissfully unaware of the danger they’re in
Such a blast from the past!!! Thanks for the nostalgia trip!!!
I love how the runner is switching Items to various notes in level 3 lol :)
haw haw haw, YEAH I did that too when I used to play. I dunno why though.....
He shoots his weapons to the rhythm of the songs levels too lol
Watched this from beginning to end. Never thought it was possible, nevermind something someone could speed run. Amazing gameplay! So few close calls and so many exploits that blew my mind tbh! Might pick this game up again soon to give it a shot, but i doubt I'll get past the 20s! 😂
ZAMN 😍
Zamn 😱
I like and hate how if you died at the chainsaw stage, the music continues playing while zombie blood runs down your screen, giving you straight chills 🥴🤣😭
I could see this being made into a movie.
Funny thing is that there was a rumor of this being a movie last time I checked.
This game is a homage to many different movies
I would watch that movie
Me and my dad beat this game a few years ago ( with the use of MANY save slots) and the pure joy we felt when it was finally over oh my goddddd it was amazing hell
speedrun this game while he is making music with the weapon change button hahaha, such a good player.
I greatly appreciate changing the item with the music, as I do it as well and it just completes the music for me.
My Godfather just passed today from lung cancer and he's the one that introduced me to this game on the Sega as a kid.
I miss you like crazy R.I.P
I've beaten this Game Multiple times; in fact, I've purchased it again for my Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series S.

Yo también complete el juego a los 15 años fue difícil pero lo logré , es mi juego favorito y me llené de satisfacción al completarlo y no dejarlo a a la mitad como hize con otros juegos jejejeje 😉
pero era muy dificil :'v
Sebas Fitt lo que hace el vicio :v jajajajaja
Sebas Fitt tanto
Wow nunca había visto una chica que siquiera haya jugado este juego, menos terminarlo...
fue el mejor juego que tuve en mi infancia,al ver este video me llene de gratos recuerdos.momentos llenos de felicidad e inocencia.
Woah I remember this crazy game! One of my friends just left it at my house when he moved away. I didn't get very far but it definitely left an impression. You can tell the devs had fun making it.
This Game has some of the greatest music Ever from the SNES Era
I love how relatable the changing of items with the music is
im 31 watching zombies ate my neighbors speed run that i'm pretty damn sure i've watched before. my life in a nutshell :/
I never thought to just save all the victims. I mean i tried! But after saving one i would move on to all the potion, money and health packs. No wonder i never made it past like level 20. Your strategic way is far superior! I will be evolving my strategy.
The original survival horror.
Nothing better than being 5 and watching my older brothers play these old gems man
This game is everything. Kids today will never know.... Glad to have grown up in the 90s.
i was born in 2009 and i played this game for a year or more trying to understand what the stuff meant(cuz i don't speak english originally)😂
Runner changing weapons to the beat of the music was the best part of this run 👍
Also the buttclench at 49:45 was real 😂
This game needs a remake badly. I would get it on the Switch.
I was just talking about that
@@jboyxd6573 Really? Haha. I was just thinking about a fun horror video game rep character like the guy in this game to be in smash bros. Having a creepy eerie music and like, some monster double creature inside of him.
But yeah. Imagine the graphics of this game in 3D. That would be amazing.
@@slytheguy6988 Someone already made a Doom mod thats 1-1 with the SNES version. Looked awesome but not sure if it was ever finished or not.
I will release pretty soon i already know people can wait to play again
Enough of the remakes; we need new games.
You have hell a lot of nerves to do this on original SNES, pal. I've done this game before, but no matter what (and how) i tried, game always finds someone who kills at least 1-3 neighbor from other side of screen. It is outstanding job, you most be quite proud for this one
best game ever give my childhood
You make this incredibly hard game seem like Child’s Play. Amazing
ZAMN 😍 1 HOUR!?
I like how the Dr. Tongue's Castle level uses both the opening music and the carpet pattern from The Shining. Nice homage.
never got past 12 or even 20 with random passwords... this is extremely therapeutic to watch and awesome too actually, i never knew the pyramid box was best used on the giant babies like a homing missile at a distance
Skill level is off the charts. Especially with how goofy the hitboxes are in this game! I'm amazed
I remember putting hours into this game. I loved it so much as a kid. I still hope maybe one day I can play it again but this will have to do for now.
download emulator and play it on pc.
This game was scary to me but not for the monsters, but the fact you can get a Game Over screen by seeing all the people being killed by them
Damn, well I'm impressed. I usually start losing neighbors around Level 10: No Assembly Required (Those evil dolls kill off a couple of soldiers before I can even act).
Zombies starved to "death"...
Or
Zombies didn't eat my neighbors.
Wow thats some quality gameplay.
Zombies won't eat MY neighbors
I love how you switch your items in time to the music. Too fans who played a LOT of this game, it feels rather nostalgic. :-)
This is one of my all time favourite game, would love them to bring it back some how.
Th market level with the Baby Boss or Maze with the Chainsaw guys was a nightmare. We need a remaster of this
The chainsaw level I could never get passed.
That level gave me the worst anxiety.
@Mike Driggs are you still watching this on 2020 as me? Say yes please hahaa
Some of the finest tunes to hit a system. These tracks are life. Top 3 game for me
I use bazooka sound for brake screen for my channel. Great game! P.S: when i was young, i seating many hours and trying to pick up bazooka in first level. I'm happy man, i get it)
Хех
Brings back a lot of memories playing this game Saturday morning with my brother and sister
As much as this game is a classic for all
I feel it was way beyond the realm of difficulty for its target audience
I agree, it seems like 95% of players never made it past level 22
great job on this run, man. that was dope
The sound track to this game is so damn good!
I loved the music , i was struggling to remeber the name of this game and the song (from level 1) was stucked in my head for the past days, thanks i found it 🤣
she's 12??
What a brilliant play-through. Amazing game. Amazing music.
Very nicely executed.
