The game is described as a visually stunning and humorous 2D belt-scroller, featuring hundreds of frames of hand-crafted animation. Brace yourself for plenty of punches, kicks, throws, and decapitations in glorious 100x120px resolution. Below, you can find gameplay footage from both the C64 and PC versions.

According to the Steam page, “Originally developed for the Commodore 64 from 1990 to 1992, ‘Undead’ has been resurrected for both the Commodore 64 and PC, featuring fully hand-crafted bitmap images (for PC) and an abundance of animated frames. Players will control Jon, a hyper-violent half-human, half-cyborg on a mission to rescue captive scientists in a city plagued by a zombie outbreak, alongside dangerous cult bikers and hellish demons. Developed simultaneously for both platforms, ‘Undead’ offers an array of attack moves, melee weapons, a supercharged jatimatic, and a grab/throw/hurl system—allowing players to enjoy ‘zombie bowling’ against tougher foes.”
