About this game

Zombies belongs to the "tower defense" sub-genre of casual games, where the objective is to deploy a series of stationary weapons to protect a structure against hordes of enemies.

Plants provide the artillery and can be bought with sun power, the game's currency.

The enemies are zombies invading a suburban lawn.

At the start of each level, the player starts to plant the available seeds on the lawn in a strategic manner.

Zombies slowly begin to appear from the street at the right side, just a few initially, and must be destroyed before they can reach the house on the other side.

Sun power icons fall from the sky randomly and must be collected with the mouse to increase the funds.

The sunflower can be planted to generate extra units of sun power but doesn't have any attack power against the invading undead.

Besides their cost, the seed packs take some time to recharge after being used.

There are several types of offensive plants available.

Peashooters are the basic variety, spitting a projectile forwards every few seconds.

Variations appear later in the game, shooting several peas at the same time and freezing the enemies, making them move slower.

The carnivorous plant gobbles up a zombie when he gets near its gaping mouth, but takes some time to do so, becoming ineffective while busy digesting the corpse.

The cherry bomb explodes after being deployed, carbonizing any of the undead surrounding its landing spot.

The potato mine is half-buried with a sensor sticking from the top and detonates when one of the walking dead steps on it.

Plants can be removed with the shovel to make space for new ones.

Mini-games appear from time to time.

There are twenty of them, and most are parodies of well-known casual titles: ZomBotany (1 and 2), Wall-nut Bowling (1 and 2), Slot Machine, It's Raining Seeds, Beghouled, Invisi-ghoul, Seeing Stars, Zombiquarium, Beghouled Twist, Big Trouble Little Zombie, Portal Combat, Column Like You See 'Em, Bobsled Bonanza, Zombie Nimble Zo

About Sega Genesis

Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.

Gamevaro tracks Plants vs. Zombies for Sega Genesis with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Plants vs. Zombies to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GEN release dates back to 2013.

No market sales have been tracked yet for Plants vs. Zombies — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.

Condition matters a lot for collector value: loose (cartridge/disc only), complete-in-box (CIB, with original packaging and manual) and factory-sealed copies are tracked separately because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.
