Zombie Nation (video game)

Zombie Nation is a 1990 NES action game developed by Meldac of America and Live Planning.

The game stars the player as Namakubi, a zombie samurai reduced to a giant floating head. He has to rescue the USA from an alien invasion that turned people of the land into zombies.

The plot is as described in the introduction of the game:

“1999- What appeared to be a harmless meteorite crashing in the Nevada desert had turned out to be Darc Seed, an evil alien creature with horrible powers. By shooting strange magnetic rays, Darc Seed had turned the helpless nation into zombies and brought the Statue of Liberty to life to do his dirty work. These rays also gave him control over many deadly weapons, but none were more powerful than the legendary samurai sword, Shura. When the great head of the samurai, Namakubi heard that the sword had fallen into evil hands, he set off immediately for the United States. For only he possessed the strength and knowledge needed to recapture the magical sword and free the U.S. from the evil clutches of Darc Seed.”

The game is considered to be extremely weird, as the playing character is a giant floating zombie head who spits fireballs and eats people while destroying buildings.
