Gameplay is top-down, with fairly simple controls. The player begins by selecting either Zeke or Julie, and in co-op, the player that they don't choose is controlled by player two. On October 26, 2009, it was re-released on the Wii Virtual Console. The game was originally published by Konami for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis on September 1993. Alone or in two-player co-op, players have to roam a huge number of levels killing monsters and rescuing their innocent neighbors. The game takes place during some unspecified event that has caused zombies and a whole host of other B-movie style monsters to run amok in a suburban setting.
