Okay so like I was checking out a Goodwill store and came upon an oddity that I had never heard of: Zombie Nation for the NES. It was only like $3 so I scooped it up. A quick internet search revealed that this game is as weird as I anticipated it to be. Anybody have any idea of its rarity/value? Has anyone even played it?
 
Never seen it..

my friend has a copy of BABY BOOMER..its a baby blue cartridge and i love the little quote on the bottom

"NOT licensed by nintedo of america"
 
According to Digital Press, Zombie Nation is:

Publisher: Meldac

Scarcity: 4 $10
(L)oose or (C)omplete: L

Description: The “futuristic” story told in this game takes place in 1999! Uh oh... Also, this is one of three NES games featuring a living Statue of Liberty (see also Superman and Ghostbusters II).



Baby Boomer:

Publisher: Color Dreams

Scarcity: 3 $8
(L)oose or (C)omplete: L
Designed by Jim Meuer.

Description: Color Dreams’ first game. They burned 200,000 ROMs in anticipation for its wild success, but they still had 80,000 left by the time they took the Wisdom Tree path. The ending of the game entices you to stay tuned for Baby Boomer 2. We're still anxiously awaiting it's release. Unlicensed.
 
i love the quote from the something awful review of baby boomer

Enemies:
From the manual:
Spider, Snake, Chain Saw, Devil, Spook, Hammer, Missile, Pickaxe, Rat, Raven, Rock, Riveter, Skeleton, Ghost, Bat, Cat.

One reason NES games were always so difficult was that everything in the fucking universe was trying to kill you. You could play a game where the goal was to throw toothpaste at ninja drug smugglers and still count on being attacked by 40 different types of cats, dinosaurs, and periodic elements. Baby Boomer gives us conclusive proof that nature hates babies, as video game scientists are still attempting to classify the thousands of species of insects they found trying to lay eggs in his soft, moist baby skull.
 
I think Zombie Nation was a (dare I be so redundant as to say side-scrolling?) shooter, where you are a floating head that appears to be a mix between Mikhail Gorbachev and, well, a zombie, actually.

I don't know about it's quality, but it's a shooter.

myke.
 
its not that good of a shooter...mykes descripton was dead on. youre a giant floating zombie head shooting junk in a city...yeah..

Half the games for the NES were like that :)
 
According to the " Video Game Bible":

Zombie Nation
Publisher: Meldac
Rarity: 4 out of 10
Price: $8
Description: An uninspired platform shooter in which you must take on droves of zombies; this title is average at best
