Up until 1995, the undead had largely been portrayed in a comedic light or nothing to take too seriously. From there, zombies in video games had a bit of a lull, not appearing again in a major way until Wolfenstein 3D’s udnead guards in 1992, and then at the center of the classic Zombies Ate My Neighbours.Īnd then came the big one: Resident Evil. Way back in 1984, Quicksilva released what many have claimed as the very first zombie game, Zombie Zombie, it coming to the ZX Spectrum. The history of zombie games stretches almost as far back as the industry itself. There’s something about being a stocked-up survivor trying to make it through desolate wastelands of civilisation or a gun-toting undead killer that connects with gamers you need only look at how many new zombie games come to Steam each week to see just that. Zombie games are now more popular than ever, and, as the saying goes: “you can never have too much of a good thing”.
