* DevelopingNationsLackCities: ''World Dominator'' suffers from this immensely almost to the point of UnfortunateImplications, starting with [[NoobCave Brazzaville]] being represented as a collection of tents rather than [[https://cdn-images.go2africa.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/10143541/Brazzaville1-1920x678.jpg the actual city that it is]]. Similar things happen in Nicaragua, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and Greenland, though much of this is down to graphical limitations. Later entries do away with this, as buildings become better implemented.

** The [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmedRanald [=McD=] special zombie (and SpiritualSuccessor the [[[ClownsAreCreepy clown zombie]] in ''Apocalypse'') relies on this; he poops out infected burgers that if any human touches them, they die and turn into zombies. The only possible way this could happen is if they ''picked up the rancid zombie-burger in the first place''.

* Superboss: [[spoiler:The reporter herself and her cameraman in ''2'', complete with [[MoreDakka rapid-fire]] [[StuffBlowingUp explosive]] [[AbnormalAmmo microphones]] that utterly shred zombies with high damage and area-of-effect.]]

* FallenHero: All of the Hero units in ''Necronator'' must first be fought as champions of humanity. After beating the stage they appear on, you gain access to a corrupted, evil version of said hero.
* GlobalCurrency: No matter where in the world you are, the money that spills from the bodies of the dead always comes in coins, money bags, and gems (though the latter two only show up in ''[=WorldDom=]'').

* ShoutOut: Various towns/units. Among them are [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Raccoon Hill]], [[Franchise/SilentHill Silent City]], [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Northern Water Tribe]], [[LeftForDead Boomer Santa]], Rambo gets turned into [[LeftForDead a Tank]], Franchise/SpiderMan is protecting NYC, and when summoned, Music/MichaelJackson does the [[TheDeadCanDance Thriller]].

* MsFanservice: The News Reporter is [[HeadTurningBeauty incredibly attractive]] and only became ProgressivelyPrettier as the series went on.

The second entry, ''[[http://togeproductions.com/games/111/infectonator-christmas-edition/ Christmas Edition]]'', was the same, but instead of 60 seconds, you had 25 days until Christmas, and each turn took a day. [[BreathlessNonSequitur Also, you got to]] [[KickTheDog kill Santa]].

''[[http://armorgames.com/play/13150/infectonator-2 Infectonator 2]]'' and ''Infectonator 2'' returned to the formula of the original game. It retains most of the game-play of the original World Dominator while improving the visuals and tightening the core elements that made the original successful.

''Infectonator!'' is a series of TurnBasedStrategy WebGames by Toge Productions (with one spin-off with slightly different premises), all based upon making chain reactions and getting upgrades. The twist? It's all about making {{zombie apocalypse}}s! Yes, you are a {{mad scientist}} hell-bent on turning the world into a wasteland (and in one case ruining Christmas), and [[WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer all you have]] is a [[TheVirus deadly virus]] that can [[OurZombiesAreDifferent turn people into zombies]].

''Infectonator!'' is a series of three turn-based strategy WebGames (with one spin-off with slightly different premises), all based upon making chain reactions and getting upgrades. The twist?

The third game released was ''[[http://togeproductions.com/games/218/necronator/ Necronator]]'', best described as "[[JustForFun/XMeetsY Infectonator meets Warcraft]]"; while a large part of the interface and controls in World Dominator remain, the setting and gameplay is completely changed to Medieval times, with you commanding a Necromancer who tries to take over the world with his undead. Unlike the other games, units are built over time from a preset building with income slowly provided, instead of being created from an infectious chain reaction. However, zombies and the original "infection" chain reaction ability from the first three games remain.

''[[http://togeproductions.com/games/721/necronator-2-2/ Necronator 2]]'' was the fourth game in the series, It abandoned the gameplay of World Dominator for a complete strategy feel while improving the aesthetics and gameplay of its predecessor. The zombies and infection abilites are still present in a greatly nerfed form, however, the main draw is the multiple campaigns and huge variety of playable units and races.

''[[http://armorgames.com/play/13150/infectonator-2 Infectonator 2]]''is the latest game in the series and returns to the formula of the original game. It retains most of the game-play of the original World Dominator while improving the visuals and tightening the core elements that made the original successful.
