431 - Zombie Nation

Mike and Sean explore the cult NES game "Zombie Nation," dissecting its outlandish premise where an alien turns the US into zombies, fought by a levitating samurai head. They discuss its unique but messy shmup mechanics, the peculiar health bar, and iconic bosses like the Statue of Liberty and Paul Bunyan. The hosts also touch upon its cultural context, market value, and ultimately decide if this weird, chaotic title earns a spot on the Essential Games List.
