Ghoul Patrol is the sequel to the cult classic Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Developed by a third-party studio under license from LucasArts, the game tasks players with rescuing townspeople from ghosts, spirits, and other supernatural entities after a local library exhibit accidentally brings creatures to life.

GAME ID: SNS-AGJE-USA
Development Origins:
While Zombies Ate My Neighbors was a LucasArts-developed title, Ghoul Patrol was outsourced to a third-party developer that licensed the existing game engine. This explains the mechanical similarities, though Ghoul Patrol introduced new movement mechanics, such as the ability to dash and slide, to differentiate its gameplay.
Cultural Reception:
The game received mixed reviews upon release, with many critics comparing it unfavorably to its predecessor. Despite the high expectations set by the original, Ghoul Patrol is often remembered for its challenging level design and shift in aesthetic tone.
Cancelled Port:
A version for the NEC TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine, to be published by Virgin Interactive, was planned but ultimately cancelled before launch.
