SIDE NOTE -

I'm jumping ahead on this review because of somewhat of an announcement. I've been picked up by ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE DEFENSE FORCE (a blog about horror / zombie movies, games, books, etc.) to do their horror related video game reviews. I figured, what better way to start things off than by showcasing a NES zombie / horror shoot 'em up classic like this. Anyway, check out ZADF, and enjoy the read. I'm stoked to be able to review more games for them. On to the review!

Quick. What are the first two things that come to your mind when you hear the word "awesome". Chances are, if you are any bit of a mega-nerd like I am, Zombies and Ninjas were probably right up at the top of the list. I'll even give you a break if you thought of some Samurais. Well hold on to your heads folks, because that's exactly what you are getting with this rare little gem that came out for the Nintendo Entertainment System back in 1991.

That's right. I'm talking about ZOMBIE NATION.

This game was relatively unknown, but it did manage to obtain quite the cult following. Over the years, the value of even owning this game has grown exponentially mainly due to the fact that it was released in limited numbers, and let's just say the market was quite niche. Then again, those who did experience this game growing up as a young lad or lass, were greeted with one of the best shoot 'em ups of the NES generation.
