Add a new beta or cancelled game to the U64 Archive Edit a page in the U64 Archive

Zombie High is a cancelled side scrolling action game that was in development by Electronic Arts for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive. An incomplete beta rom was somehow leaked online,it seems that there are a few enemies at the end of level 1 that cannot be defeated with your default slime weapon. They can be defeated by using the book as a weapon by entering the door marked number 4 next to the enemies and the book weapon will appear. It is very difficult to defeat them without being defeated yourself. Celine was able to find some early screenshots in Joypad magazine #10, in which we can notice that the main character sprite has some differences from the one in the playable beta. It’s currently unknown why this game was canned and never released.Recently a debug mode was found by “The Jackal” by pressing start and A on controller 2 simultaneously. Using this debug mode we can get to see more levels,Music that was never used(which after some research appears to be music used in a later EA title “Crue ball” composed by “Brian L Shmidt”,) Weapon select,invincibility and disabling enemies. It appears a lot of the game was finished but the only things missing are an ending to the game and most of the minigames and dialogue sections that can be found by entering certain doors in various levels will not work properly unless accesses using the debug modes level select feature.

Thanks to Celine for the contribution!

Hey guys, I hope somebody will read this. I checked out the source of the rom image existing in the web. There seems to be a lot more stuff inside the rom than we can see in the first level. Even big parts of dialogues which advance the story are within. Im not a hacker anyway but it would be great when someone who is competent could make the teachers at the end of the first level vulnerable or at least delete them. Perhaps we would be able to see more from the game. I`d really like to see another part of it. If someone has got an idea or a solution please contact me at my Youtube Acc.
