That's the scenario behind ''[[http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Night_of_the_Living_Alternate_History_(Map_Game) Night of the Living Alternate History]]'', a map game on the Alternate History Wikia. As the apocalypse rages on, the United States splinters to pieces. Entire nations fall to the Zombie Horde and millions die. A world very different from ours evolves, seeing the end of the Cold War in 1984, the resurgence of fascism, and the threat of human extinction at every corner.

On October 1, 1968, Creator/GeorgeARomero released the film ''Film/{{Night of the Living Dead|1968}}''. Today it is viewed as the beginning of zombies on the big screen, but what if that’s not all it inspired? What if scientists used the movie as inspiration to create an actual zombie virus?

That's the scenario behind [[http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Night_of_the_Living_Alternate_History_(Map_Game) Night of the Living Alternate History]], a map game on the Alternate History Wikia. As the apocalypse rages on, the United States splinters to pieces. Entire nations fall to the Zombie Horde and millions die. A world very different from ours evolves, seeing the end of the Cold War in 1984, the resurgence of fascism, and the threat of human extinction at every corner.

The map game was created by a user known as [[http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/User:Mscoree Mscoree]] and has proven to be reasonably popular.
