Demons Ate My Neighbors Will Pay Homage To A Retro Classic Next Year

The newly-announced Switch and PC game takes heavy inspiration from the SNES/Genesis classic Zombies Ate My Neighbors.

Any Mario Golf fans out there? Nice little read on it from RacketBoy

Together Retro Game Club: Mario Golf http://www.racketboy.com/together-retro/together-retro-game-club-mario-golf

Been getting back into Mario Golf 64, I swear not too many games are as peaceful and serene as this game.

Excellent soundtrack, fun game.

Gonna fire up that Gameboy Mario Golf this weekend. Been trying to find an old school game to play lately.

Hot garbage like a lot of those early 3D offerings.

Just picked it up a few minutes ago. Seen the gameplay footage on YouTube and grabbed it.

Was Virtual Boy Nintendos biggest failure? I only played the Wario game at a Target kiosk and although that game was good I remember thinking how impractical it was even at 8 years old lol. Never knew any fellow classmates that had the system.

I had a classmate that brought his Virtual Boy to school once.

Most definitely my G jayt1202 - Nintendo claims to save sold 770,000 units but I think that's about 700,000 too many. Joint was pure garbage from the jump, with its bulkiness, black/red display and ridiculous price.

Nintendo completely lost the plot with that joint. How you gonna convince Mom Dukes to drop $$$ on some trash that looks like it would give your kid chronic neck/shoulder pain on TOP of seriously damaging their eyes.

Nike Jordan respect to that classmate for bringing that bulky 'ish to class. Hopefully he got clowned for it.

High Quality 16-Bit Football game.

Funny to think we used to play on a side angle

It was the first sports game to have running commentary as well.

I found a copy of NBA Live ‘97 for the PS1 that I might go get later today. $3 bucks for some high school nostalgia is not bad.

Happy 25th Bday to the best video game movie ever

The theme song was the best part about the film.

I feel you dude . Back then some of my friends chose sides like in the Genesis vs SNES debate. It was talked about a lot in elementary schools and jr high classrooms across the country.

I always go back to the Reptile - Liu Kang fight but seeing Scorpion and Sub-Zero walk out that first time gave me legit goosebumps
