Ghoul Patrol Premium Edition (SNES)

Zombified historic dudes, ping-pong ball machine guns, and a transparent red SNES cartridge. Ghoul Patrol Premium Edition brings the cult classic sequel to Zombies Ate My Neighbors to a physical SNES cartridge with a collector's package that rivals the originals.

Ghoul Patrol picks up with Zeke and Julie accidentally unleashing a snarling phantom from an ancient spirit book at the city library. Now they're hopping through time periods, de-spooking history with crossbows and Martian Heatseeker guns while dodging adolescent-eating plants. It's exactly as absurd as it sounds, and it plays like a lost relic from the SNES golden age, because it literally is one.

The Premium Edition gives you the cartridge in either transparent red or standard grey, tucked inside an authentically sized retro box. Surrounding it is a manual, commemorative metal coin, original CD soundtrack, enamel pin, lapel pins, a reversible 18 by 24 inch poster, art cards, and a deluxe premium box to house the entire collection. This is the kind of package that would have blown our minds if it showed up under the tree in 1994. Back when we were saving allowance money and renting games by the weekend, we never imagined owning something this comprehensive for a title this wonderfully weird. Ghoul Patrol didn't get the same love as its predecessor, and that's precisely why this Premium Edition matters. The underdogs deserve the deluxe treatment too.
