Well, as a classic gaming d0rk, I am always looking for unusual games and hacks of old games. This was a silly hack of an Atari 2600 game, but I appreciate the effort.
Just in case you can't tell, there are 2 zombies here, the car in red that drives up the screen, and graves. As you shoot the zombies, they turn into graves and often show-up in swarms. There are gas stations to refuel when needed.

You can actually download this ROM on AtariAge.com along with the Stella emulator for PC (there's a Mac one somewhere) for a few laughs.

I always thought that this movie had potential to be an amazing game on the computer, even better than Resident Evil was on the PS1. Back when I was in high school, I wrote a detailed plan for such a game, but alas I was not a programmer.

There is a PS2 game featuring Bruce Campbell as Ash from Evil Dead . Kind of fun when you get the good weapons.
