Zombi

About

Zombi drops you into a first-person mall crawl with four characters fighting through hordes of undead. Move between rooms, avoid taking damage, and dispatch zombies via headshots or repeated hits. Each character has a name tied to the development team. The twist is that dying here doesn’t just end your run, it turns the fallen into a new zombie in the same area, complicating future encounters. Simple icon-driven controls handle movement and combat, though the 1980s hardware limitations shape every interaction. Dropped in late 1986, this was Ubisoft’s first game and a bold debut. The zombie-population mechanic remains its standout trait, with some retro players noting it feels ahead of its time despite clunky presentation. Old-school forums praise the clever risk/reward loop, with one user calling it “a weirdly creative way to make you nervous about your own footsteps.” It's not a polished classic but a curious snapshot of early design experimentation.
