Abandoned Projects #2: Graveyard Hunters (’01)

I can’t remember how many quarters and weekends I dumped into the Kahala Bowling Alley (may it rest in peace) during my middle school and high school years. I fell in love with a number of arcade games, including Metal Slug 2, Marvel vs Capcom, and Area 51, but Time Crisis 2 was what I always had to play. It inspired me to make my own game with similar shooting mechanics, and since I had never seen it done in Flash I was motivated to be the first to release something.

I can’t remember why I didn’t finish this, but I got pretty far along in development of my Flash 4 zombie shooting game. There are actually 3 different locations that are pretty decently fleshed out, as well as 3 different weapons that you can pick up as you go through them. For some reason I never brought myself to create that final boss fight that would’ve sealed the deal…

Anyway, it’s almost 10 years later and I still think Graveyard Hunters is pretty fun. Give it a whirl.
