A horrific plague breaks out and mobs of zombies are roaming throughout the tri-state area, killing people at random. You play Jack, a simple farmer who must rise beyond fear, and battle your way through hordes of terrifying undead who are bent on spreading the zombie plague. You encounter a mysterious man named Mr. Kaufman who has established Fiddler's Green, a fortified city, which holds the last of the living. He has offered you a special job, with an exceptional reward. An offer too good to turn down, but will you live long enough to reap the rewards?
Based on the George A. Romero film, Land of the Dead, this intense 3D zombie experience will grip and terrify you like none other.
Why the sudden resurrection? After some thought, I figured DE would be best released in an unfinished state, rather than not being released at all. So yes, that does mean a lot of content we had originally planned will not make it into the final release, such as arcade, free roam, multiplayer, and a lengthy campaign mode.
One of the biggest things that stopped me from finishing DE last year was incompatibility on newer operating systems, but recently, that has been fixed and is no longer an issue. Another big reason was because a lack of a team. In the start, DE has around eight active members. As the years passed, the numbers dropped drastically - down to only two people. At the time, it seemed impossible to finish everything that we had planned, so I stupidly pulled the plug on the entire thing. In the past month it's just been me and Gamefan74 (the main programmer) finishing off what we can.
With that being said, DE is complete... with the exception of the game modes I listed above. If interest proves, and people enjoy DE, I might release arcade, and a few unfinished goodies into a DLC of some sort after the release.
Dead Epidemic is now scheduled to be released on March 26th, 2011, or even earlier depending on how quick beta testing goes. View more screenshots in our gallery. Stay tuned for more updates and media.

Honestly, the game is extremely mediocre but I always return to it every couple of years. It has that nostalgia factor to it.
Wow!
Out of the box this was a borefest but the modding community back between 2007-09 was one of the purest, most fire communities there ever were. I spent hours playing LMS in Trins server, hanging with the modders and other guys from the former Undeadgames.com forums (R.I.P). It was like a 24/7 Romero Renaissance. Without a doubt my most golden gaming memories of my young adult life. God damn I miss those UG days so much. Hope everyone's doing well wherever you all are at these days.

Happy 15th anniversary!!!
If the devs spent more time on this, it would have gotten a better reception but it's generally crappy or subpar. And this is someone who modded the game about a decade ago to make it harder, look at my Addons section.
Good game.
Why is the server down? It's been down a few days now me & several people want to play! When will it be up & running again?
Honestly, it's not a horrible game. More decent than some of the supposed "best zombie titles" out there, I thought.
This is an ok game, a little below good, but its not horrible... I would pay $10 at most for it, but instead id rather torrent it :P
This game is fun, but AI is a little dumb other than that pretty good game.
