I went to a marvel vs DC themed party last year and brought a control panel to play a DC vs Marvel mugen game. It was a big hit and I've been asked to bring it back, only this time around the party is zombie apocalypse. My first thoughts were house of the dead and the indie xbox360 game i made a game with zombies in it. However, my friends want the novelty of the real arcade controls since everyone has consoles. So no guns or gamepads.... I don't think the darkstalkers series is very zombie apocalypse, but at the moment, it's the best I can think of.
Any suggestions? CP has standard 6 button fighting game layout, plus a trackball and spinner. I'm using a PC and a projector, not a monitor. Not sure if that makes a difference other than the gun games that have already been ruled out.
