Zombies Ate My Neighbors (1993) is a 1993 action video game made by LucasArts Entertainment.

Rescue the townsfolk before the monsters get them, grab whatever weapon is handy, from Super Soakers to flying silverware, and keep moving. It is a top-down run-and-gun soaked in B-movie horror, best played with a friend on the couch trading panic and cover.

A few thoughts on Zombies Ate My Neighbors (1993)
The joy is the monster-movie roll call played for laughs. Nothing in quite the same vein sits close by, but if you want creatures and dread turned into tense action, BioShock and Half-Life both build whole worlds out of things lurching at you, just with the campy grin swapped for real menace.
Shooters that keep you moving
Zombies Ate My Neighbors is all momentum, blasting whatever crosses your path with whatever weapon is handy. These shooters keep that constant forward pressure, throwing waves of enemies at you and rewarding quick target-switching and a good trigger finger over careful, slow cover-crawling through every room.
