Metallus Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Ok, I thought it was made by LucasArts as well; in fact, I was almost sure of it. However, all the images I'm finding of it lead to it being made by Konami. Perhaps it was made by LucasArts and then published by Konami for consoles, because all the images I'm finding for it have the Konami logo on it, or are copywritten by it. However, in Curse of Monkey Island, there's a scene where a book titled "Zombies Ate My Neighbors" in the foreground. This screen is kind of dark, but you can sort of make it out .

RappScallion Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Originally posted by The Adventurer Its a Fact....and it had a sequel on the geneis called....um....I don't know.... It's Ghoul Patrol... I think. At least they look kinda similar on a SNES emulator (hope I'm not going to get banned from the forum for this...) And the rest of LucasArts products, including those "exotic" ones is here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmatz Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 I have Pipe Dream for the Mac and trust me it's nothing special... I wonder where we can find out more about LEC's involvement with ZAMN and its sequel Ghoul Patrol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoOliE Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 just found this : Zombies Ate My Neighbors -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cheat Codes: This is a credit level where you can roam around the Lucas Arts offices and meet staff that you can talk to, AND there is a boss that spits milk drops, it's pretty cool try typing XWJR. Enter BCDF as your password to ascess the hidden bonus level BLHR + 10 bazookas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Savage Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 Don't forget Night Shift where you work for Industrial Might and Logic making Star Wars and Indy Action figures. That was quite wacky little sidescroller. I agree Schmatz, the Mac version of Pipe Dream wasn't that great, the Tandy/IBM and Apple IIgs version are much better at least graphics-wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1.21 Jigawatts? Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Zombies ate my neighbours and its sequel Ghoul patrol were released on both the SNES + Genesis. Both were produced by Lucasarts, but distributed by Konami. I still own my original SNES copy of Zombies. There is another secret level which is full of Purple Tentacles that you have to kill, I thought I had the password written down in my manual, but I can't find it there.

QueZTone Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 heh with that list i can say that LEC's been pretty inferior on consoles in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueZTone Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 LucasTones, this does 2 things to ya doesnt it? 1. Oh gawd more LEC games to collect, my collection will never be complete!! and 2. Oh yay, now I'll never run out of a goal in life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted April 21, 2002 Author Share Posted April 21, 2002 Well, I just want this one for the playability - I remember it as being great fun. My collection really is only for the adventures, but I pick up what else I can too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darnn Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 I remember it SUCKING. I think I've played both the SNES and the Genesis versions... Sure, the level full of game designers and tentacles and stuff was cool, but the game itself was way hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McScurvy Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 Zombies is my all-time favorite SNES game. I still remember the day I beat the damn thing, man were my thumbs killing me, but it was worth it to see George Lucas and his Brillo-pad harido in 16-bit glory. Ghoul Patrol is good too, the gameplay is similar to ZAMN but the humor was replaced with a darker theme based on an imprisoned Demon traveling through time to wipe out humanity after being released by the games two heroes (Zeke and Julie). All the odd weapons and items are gone, replaced by machine guns, lasers and Grim Reaper transformation potions. I've yet to find any in-jokes outside of the Ghost Pirates during the Carribean levels, but what more do you need. Another one to look out for is Metal Warriors which is a side-scrolling Mech based action game. I was really surprised to find out this was made by Lucasarts because.....well...ITS A FRIGGIN' MECH GAME! This was also published by Konami and if you look carefully in one of the later stages you can see a billboard ad for Proto-Cola (Defenders of Dynatron City) with Julie (ZAMN) as the spokeswoman, its 2 in-jokes in one! Heres some advice: Only play Big Sky Trooper for the intro, the rest of the game is a very painful experience kind of like watching Howard the Duck for a week straight.

Jake Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 I loved the Tentacle level in Zombies Ate My Neighbors. We all peed ourselves upon discovering that. Interesting about Metal Warriors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted April 25, 2002 Author Share Posted April 25, 2002 That Tentacle Level pissed me off. You couldn't do anything - that gate never opened for me. I liked it walking round the LEC offices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scabb Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 They actually released Maniac Mansion for the SNES, although it was Rental only. I'll try and dig up the link if I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmatz Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 How can they make a game for rental only? That would suck... especially since most rented games get sold after a while, so some people must own it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
