Plants vs. Zombies

Overview

Plants vs. Zombies is an unauthorized port of Plants vs. Zombies, leaked in August 2012. It was likely developed by Nice Code Software. This port has fewer plants and zombies than the original. The game has five levels based on the first five stages of the official release. The music is lifted from the Nice Code game Beach Ball, and there are no sound effects. The "Set Plant" text is written in the Bubble Bobble Part 2 font. Like with Nice Code's Famicom port of Angry Birds, the exact origins of their Plants vs. Zombies port are nebulous. Both games were likely intended to be included on multicarts and multi-game systems originally due to their simplicity, and particularly in the case of Plants vs. Zombies, no single cartridge releases are known to have been produced. In late August 2012, ROMs for this game and Angry Birds would be leaked on the Chinese speaking internet by maxzhou88, a former Super Game employee, on his blog. The release of these ROMs seemingly led to many developers of multicarts and multi-game systems including these games, presumably without licensing them from Nice Code. This is evident by the leaked ROMs possessing certain quirks, such as the ROM of this game being overdumped in file size. The title screen is most likely based on the loading screen of the mobile version of Plants vs. Zombies. Potato Mine and squished Squash don't function well in this game. Sometimes, zombies can go through a Potato Mine, and sometimes they will explode. A squished Squash can jump right into a zombie and disappear, or it can jump ahead of a zombie and kill it.
