“Zombies Ate My Neighbors” is a 1993 run and gun ‘horror’ video game for the Sega Mega Drive/Sega Genesis and Super NES platforms. This video game was originally developed, distributed and produced by LucasArts as a comical tribute to both classic and schlocky horror films of the 1950s through the 1980s. [Infos from Wikipedia]
It seems that a beta version (titled Monsters) was leaked somehow online and through a password (BCDF) you are able to play a bonus level that was later removed from the final game (the BCDF bonus level in the released game is different from this one). Thanks to a video from WillowAlchemist Youtube Channel we can see this beta area. Another beta level (he Son of Dr Tongue Bonus Level) was found by Superfun64: it has no monsters, is smaller, and has different music.

Yeah I’m pretty sure the son of Dr tongue level is different as well. No giant baby, is smaller and unused music. It’s been years since I checked though. I wish this site would let me contribute. I had the first Beta vid of this game up on Youtube I think.

Huh, so that’s why I never knew where that song came from when I heard it used in the rom hack sequel “Oh No! More Zombies Ate My Neighbors!” along with the bananas. I wonder why they didn’t include that song in the final game? It sounds pretty cool and fitting. Plus that’s definitely one small and unfinished bonus level.

It looks like the water from the unused level, and the Dr Tongue level are different
