“The cult classic Zombies Ate My Neighbors and its sequel make their long awaited return in Lucasfilm Classic Games: Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Ghoul Patrol! Play these classics from the golden age of 16-bit gaming with new enhancements and never before seen museum features.”
Zombies Ate My Neighbors
Hey, where’s that scary music coming from? Yikes! It’s Zombies Ate My Neighbors, where you appear in every demented horror flick ever to make you hurl ju-jubes.
What are Zeke and Julie, our two wholesome teenage stars doing in a 16-bit game like this?! Trying to save the nice neighbors, cheerleaders and babies from a fate worse than polyester!
Who could put this SLICE of suburbia in such a goose-pimply hysteria? Zombies, relentless Chainsaw Maniacs, Mummies, Evil Dolls that just won’t die, Lizard Men, Blobs, Vampires, Giant Ants, Martians and more.
Will these crazy kids survive the night? Find your way through 55 horror-filled levels like a grocery store gone bad, a shopping mall awry, a mysterious island and your own back yard. Don’t miss “Weird Kids on the Block”, “Mars Needs Cheerleaders” and “Dances With Werewolves”.
You can fend off the freaks with a virtual candy counter of weapons like uzi squirt guns, exploding soda pop, bazookas, weed wackers and ancient artifacts. Also grab power ups-o-rama like secret potions and bobo clown decoys. Does this game ever end?!
Ghoul Patrol
Zeke and Julie, our intrepid teenagers, visit the Ghosts and Ghouls exhibit at the city library, where they find an old treasure chest containing an ancient spirit book. Naturally, they cannot resist reading it. Suddenly, a horrific snaggle-toothed spirit emerges.
Now, this snarling phantom and his dastardly minions are infesting Metropolis and slithering their way into the history books, where they plan to rewrite history with their spooky ways. Only you have the power to go back in time to de-spook and encyclopedia and zombified historic dudes.
Terminate, with prejudice, using crossbows, ping-pong ball machine guns, Martian “Heatseeker” guns, and more.
Vaporize garbage can ghosts and ninja spirits, rescue bug-eyed librarians and wigged-out pirates, dodge flying books and adolescent-eating plants!
Only our two heroes have the power to get the mighty beastly spirit back into his book and stop the madness. Ghoul Patrol to the rescue!

These are fun games but it’s a shame there’s no new lick of paint mentioned.
Old time fans know these are actually LucasArts games.
Hold on, didn’t Disney Interactive shut down a few years ago? I know Disney owns LucasArts/LucasFilms/LucasWhatever (as well as too many other things and I’m not okay with that) so this is technically their IP now, but I’m almost certain they dropped out of videogame development.
Lucasfilm Games is just a brand so no actual game development from Disney. That wretched story group of Lucasfilms is probably gonna be more tied to the game side of things now, though.
It might be time to consider Disney a lost cause as it sounds like they are doubling down on the “woke” shit. If the leaks are accurate, Disney has their own “be less white” training. I wonder who started theirs first: Disney or Coca-Cola.
Disney is just publishing, Dotemu is handling development and they are fantastic! I personally can’t wait to play their TMNT game and Windjammers 2!
Beyond excited for this. I played Zombies Ate My Neighbors so so much as a kid. Definitely Day 1 buy!
Zombies Ate My Neighbors was one of my favorite SNES games and I had no idea there was a sequel, so I’m pretty excited to get this! With that said here is a shameless plug of my song Zombies Ate My Dick: https://youtu.be/jy-8pCCV0ig
