Hmm...I'd have to pick Zombies Ate my Neighbors (SNES/Genesis). It was by LucasArts in...1994, I think. The plot was simple enough: You choose between Zeke and Julie, two Horror movie fans, and go about saving the victims (Ie. Tourists, Soliders, Babies, Cheerleaders, etc.) from being killed by a small range of monsters, like Zombies (Obviously), Mummies, Sea Monsters, Chainsaw Maniacs (Complete with Jason's mask), Red Blobs, Axe-wielding Dolls, Giant Ants, a 50 Ft. tall baby, and a load of others.
Why do I care so much about the game? Because...It was funny as heck. The weaponary itself (Water guns with holy water, Soda cans used like grenades, Popsicles, Tomatoes, Silverware, Plates, Bazooka, Potions, etc.) added some charm and comedy to it, such as having a single thing of Silverware being able to kill a Werewolf down in no time (Bad joke, but it works.) The scenery and Level Titles almost scream 'B-movie!', but it's purposely done to do so. And while the graphics haven't aged well (They didn't look as great even when compared to games from back them), it's sometimes frustrating gameplay still holds it together.
