The popularity of zombie games has always been linked to the online game Doom. Many say that the game started it all. However, a few people know that the concept of zombies came from a 1968 movie by George Romero entitled Night of the Living Dead. Unlike the zombies we see now in movies and in zombie games, here, the zombies in George’s movie were not as deadly. They were mind controlled and were extremely slower than the zombies we have come to recognize at present. As producers caught on with the trend of putting zombies into movies, game developers followed in their footsteps-and then we had Doom. Doom was the first ever game to be able to mix horror, entertainment, and action all into one game. The best part of it was that it appealed to both children and adults alike. Although a lot of zombie games we have now are too graphic for very young children and thus, we do not suggest for them to play these games.
