I’ve finished Zombie Wars now. I prefered it to the original overall. It has some relatively impressive prerendered 3D animations at times, including the final boss, which were a nice touch. The bosses were nothing amazing but certainly a step up. The gameplay was largely along the same lines but the addition of a shield did change things up. Also there were so many more levels, this game is big. I was finding myself just running through quickly the further I got rather than chasing after the hostages. It’s not easy and you’d have to spend ages to 100% it. I’m not that much of a fan but it was OK, and still felt very much like a DOS platformer for better or worse. The best aspect of these games was definitely the graphics rather than the gameplay but given the limited options I probably wouldn’t have been too unhappy if I’d picked this up in a bargain bin back in the mid 90s.
