About This Game
Developed by LucasArts and published by Konami, this game parodies 1950s-80s horror/sci-fi films with weapons like squirt guns and weed whackers. Features a dynamic soundtrack that changes based on danger level.
Notable for its non-linear level design - players must explore to find hidden neighbors before time runs out or they get devoured. Includes iconic enemies like giant babies and chainsaw-wielding maniacs.
The game was controversial for its violent content but became a beloved sleeper hit. Its difficulty and quirky charm have maintained its reputation as one of the SNES's most unique titles.
