On my machine Zombies Ate My Neighbors played exactly as it did on the original SNES. If you want to play in full screen hit the Alt-A combination. Naturally how well the game plays will depend upon your machine and which game you downloaded. The game plays within a window by default. Once you have loaded your ROM an old familar "face" will appear - that face is the game you remembered from your undergraduate years (I am showing my age here).įigure 2 shows the start screen for "Zombies". To load your ROM click on the GAME menu and select ROM which will open up a Zsnes-native file manager. This, again, will depend upon how the creator packaged the file. This is the ROM you need to load.I have also found that some of the ROMs can be loaded directly from the zip file. But the import piece of the puzzle is the file with the smc extension. The contents of the zip package will vary, depending upon who created the file. You will need to unzip that file once it is downloaded. When you download a ROM file it will be in. This may even be the case if you own the original cartridge. Note: Downloading ROMs may be illegal depending on where you live. I found Zombies Ate My Neighbors on ROMNation. There are plenty of sites that have ROM files for SNES games. One of the first things you are going to want to know is where to get ROM files. Or you can install the nearly-old-fashion way and issue a command like: Because of that you can either search for "zsnes" (no quotes) in your Add/Remove Software utility, mark the results for installation, and click Apply to install. Installing Zsnes is simple because it will most likely be found in your distributions' repositories. If you long for the old SNES games, this emulator will do the trick. Zsnes is an emulator for the Super Nintendo game system that runs on Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, and DOS.

Lately I had been jonesin' to play that game so I was about to plop down some cash for an old SNES and the Zombies Ate My Neighbors cartridge when I came across Zsnes. It was a classic Super Nintendo game that had you playing either a young boy or girl who uses various toys (such as a squirt gun) to save their neighbors from getting destroyed by zombies! This game is pure fun and, as far as I know, it is where the old "muhaha" came from. My favorite game of all time is Zombies Ate My Neighbors.
