Why was this game so good?
Why was Ghoul Patrol so bad?
What happens to the devs after Herc's Adventures?

Infinitely respawning enemies makes it frantic, you can't just clear levels like lots of top-down shooters, there's not a set order to get the neighbors so the levels are somewhat nonlinear

I thought they just slapped the license onto a different game that was already in development

I never even played that

Herc's Adventures was pretty neat. Had a similar art/item system to ZaMN, and played like a co-op Zelda.

Not only that but:
>According to Toshiyasu Morita, a programmer and technology manager at LucasArts during the mid-1990s, this sequel was made by a third party that licensed the use of the Zombies Ate My Neighbors engine for this purpose
