Time to get pumped up for ZAMN

A long time ago there was a game for SNES/Genesis that became engraved into our heads at a young age, depending on if you played it and when you played it. You could choose from two characters, a 3D glasses wearing rock/punk kid armed with a red water gun and loaded with holy water, or a young and attractive female.

You fought against Aliens who wanted cheerleaders, hockey masked bulky men with chainsaws, zombies and far more - with rocket launchers, soda cans and the bible (was it a bible?)
Zombies ate my Neighbors is one of those classics that made us all mentally insane. What I want to do is bring this experience back with Torque Game Builder - and so I'm attempting to present Zombies ate my Nation, the unofficial 'sequel' to the old classic by LucasArts and Konami.

I'm now in the process of finding like-minded people who would love to evolve this classic to today's technology standards, with all new graphics, gameplay, level designs, characters and more.

To pump up those talented individuals out there who love the idea, I have created a pumpy-upper-super-teaser-ZAMN-Trailer

I look forward to hearing from you!

Yes...yes...YES! AWESOME!

Ok, that sounded weird, but you get the point. I would love to see this concept come to life, so keep us informed.

Are you going to put a team together?

Search the TGB private forum. There was a project underway that was doing this very thing! Maybe you two could team up and kick some zombie ass!

Hi! I'm a game designer, SNES/Genesis lover, and would really want to contribute concepting the game, controls, and stuff.

Yeah, I saw this game at the time but never got to play it, might have give it a dload and check it out, but watching the gameplay video, it's a great concept and a great breeding ground for potential ideas and content, good choice! And thanks for youtubing/uploading the teaser video, I just don't really like dloading avi/video clips and it's some much easier to view online (note for others ;)).

I started the objects...

Because I can't use the names "Zeke" and that chick, I am thinking of doing a character creator instead, that way they can create themselves if they want, of even create the two characters from the old game.
