* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The original version of the game with the Michael Jackson sprites for the dancing zombie isn't the easiest to get ahold of these days. It ha snot been sold since the change, meaning your only chance to obtain that version is to either hope you can buy a used physical copy made before then, or find a torrent of that specific version.
