What?

are 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 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 kids survive the night? 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 portions and bobo clown decoys. Use your victim radar viewer. Does this game ever end?!

Where?

else will they turn up? Find your way through 55 horror-filled levels like a grocery store gone bad, a shopping mall gone awry, a mysterious island and your own backyard. Don't miss "Weird Kids on the Block", "Mars Needs Cheerleaders" and "Dances With Werewolves".

Play!

Zombies Ate My Neighbors. But don't be surprised if your friends are missing when you hear the sound of the chainsaw hissing!

Enter the password BCDF to start in a bonus level that gives you a 1up and the "Martian Bubble Blaster". When you exit the level you will be at Level 1.

Enter WBGR as a password to begin the game on level 9 with all ten victims. Rescue all the victims on each stage up until level 12 (Mars Needs Cheerleaders) to reach the "Cheerleaders vs. The Monsters" bonus level.

View end credits:
Enter XWJR as a password.

Cheerleaders vs. The Monsters bonus level:
Enter WBGR as a password to begin game play on level 9 with all ten victims. Rescue all victims on each stage up until level 12 (Mars Needs Cheerleaders) to reach the "Cheerleaders vs. The Monsters" bonus level.

Hint: Best weapon:
On level 14, go as far right as possible and find the hidden passage on the wall. Go through and you will find a shotgun.

Hint: Level 1: Bonus level:
If you are lucky enough to get a bazooka cannon, use it on the bushes next to the house to find a bonus level. Note: You must have all 10 victims at the time. You must save all 10 cheerleaders without any dying to automatically be sent to a bonus level after the level is over.

Hint: Level 9: Bonus level:
If you have a bazooka cannon, use it on the bushes near the top of the area to find a bonus level. Note: You must have all 10 victims at the time. You must save all 10 cheerleaders without any dying to automatically be sent to a bonus level after the level is over.

Hint: Monster Phobia level: Giant spider:
At the very end of the level is a Giant Spider. You normally must defeat it, but it will take almost everything you have. It is best just to pass it by with a level skip password. Note: If you do intend of fighting it, use the weed wacker to cut through the webs that it makes.

In-Jokes

The creature "Gillman of the Blue Lagoon" has the nickname "Brook Shards" which is a reference to Brooke Sheilds who played the part of a castaway to the Blue Lagoon movie.

In what is becoming well-known is that there is a bonus level in ZAMN that takes place in LucasArts Offices. I hear that it is true to the game. There are always programmers and artists going nuts within the walls of LEC.
