You already know that we heart zombies, tithing a portion of our annual income to fund the experiments of mad scientists in the hopes that one of their deranged plots will eventually bring about the rise of the undead. Until that day comes, we'll have to settle for monster-themed video games. Of all the zombie games that've been announced for the Wii, which admittedly are very few, Zombie Massacre definitely has the best concept. Up to four players will be able to hop into a 1950s convertible, driving and shooting their way to the heart of a city to deliver a ticking nuclear bomb. Along the way, you'll pick up various people who can provide health, serve as "human shields," or give you access to special weapons.
Here's the catch, as well as the reason why we don't have any screenshots or videos to help hype the title -- 1988 Games, the developer that dreamed up Zombie Massacre, hasn't actually started development on the game and doesn't yet have a publisher on-board. We normally steer clear of these budding projects until there's more to present, but our posting about it will hopefully show potential publishers that there is some interest for the game. Also, after seeing 1988 Games' website and hearing "Take on Me" embedded on the studio's "About Us" page, we can't help but support the developer.

What kind of zombie plan is going into a city overrun with them?

Totally tubular!! That's one awesome website! Love the poster for "The Wizard" and the Power Glove display. I'd be stoked to see a company focus on making new games with a classic approach.
Their zombie game idea sounds great. Wii definitely needs more brain-eating undead. And it would be neat to see some original content made for systems like the SNES or Genesis, distributed via VC of course. A company like this could do it well I think.

That sounds amazing. That... it's a game based around the concept of pulling drive-by shootings on the undead in a 50's convertible? I can really not think of anything more fun to do with three other people in a co-op game. This concept is beautiful. PLEASE let this one work.

Wow, A-Ha and Zombies! That's all kinds of awesome. Or two kinds.
I fully endorse the making of new zombie games.

I am certainly up for a drive through the (zombie infested) city in a convertible!
Sounds like loads of fun...if 'executed' properly!

This game already has more to its legitimacy than Sadness
