There was a point in gaming history when many games didn’t take themselves too seriously. Instead of opting for top-tier graphics or inventive mechanics, there was a greater focus on creativity and humor within video gaming. When Zombies Ate My Neighbors came out, a fun co-op experience that was reverent to horror movies of yore was released to the world. Its sequel, Ghoul Patrol, was released a year later. A collection of the two games was released midway through last year. While there is certainly some fun to be had in reminiscing on what games were, the collection released in 2021 showed what limitations the genre had at the time and how far the medium has come.
