Product Description
Stubbs The Zombie lets you become a man whose luck was so bad, dying was the best thing that ever happened to him. In 1933, Edward Stubblefield was a traveling salesman, trying to survive the Great Depression, when he was murdered & buried in a field in Pennsylvania. Fast forward to 1959, when billionaire playboy Andrew Monday builds his own ultramodern city - Punchbowl, where you can "drink your fill of the future". Unfortunately, he built it on the grave of "Stubbs", bringing him back as a angry zombie. Stubbs was a loser all his life, and being a zombie gives him power he never had before. He decides to keep eating brains until the city is his -- unless Andrew Monday can stop him.

 Do not buy this if you have an Intel Mac!!! April 17, 2008

I accidentally bought this not knowing it would not run well at all on an Intel Mac. My mistake, don't do the same!
 Disappointin February 8, 2008
I found this much too hard to control. I gave up on Stubbs after less than two hours of play. I'm glad that I'm only out $7.99 + tax, I would have been really upset if I had payed full price.
 Definitely Worth 8 bucks. November 2, 2007
I ordered this game because I wanted something new and you can't beat an 8 buck price tag. I worried as some people mentioned frame rate problems and such. No problems here with a first generation Macbook Pro and 10.4. It plays pretty seamlessly.
Overall, the game is solid. Some of the cut scenes are a bit long and you keep doing the same thing over and over--eating brains--but it is a nice game to turn off your mind and just enjoy. You don't have to use 50 zillion keys to run it--in fact, I used my touch pad and about 8 keys with no problems. Some sophomoric humor, but a solid game.
Is it Halo? No. Is it Medal of Honor? No. Is it fun? Yes. Will I replay it? No, probably not. Is it worth 8 bucks? Yes. For that price, I'll pass it on to a friend and let him enjoy it, too.
YMMV.
I'm not much of a gamer, but... October 20, 2007
...this title looked too fun to pass up.
I was a little worried by some of the reviews here and on the Apple site suggesting that the game would not play on Intel Macs. I have a first generation Intel iMac with a 1.83 GHz core duo processor, ATI Radeon X1600 graphics card and 1GB of RAM. I had some issues in the beginning because I hadn't copied the game folder to my hard drive as instructed in the "Readme" file. D'oh!
The game started up fine and played as well as could be expected running under Rosetta. Tweaking the game settings also improved the overall experience.
Will Not Work on Modern Macs July 15, 2007
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I picked this game (copyright 2005) at the Apple store in the US. I brought back to Saudi Arabia and slapped it into my 2007 20'' iMac. It will not load. So I wrote to customer service. They told me that the game does not work on new iMacs with the x1600 video card. I did not see that in the system requirements. What other Macs will it not work on? Seems the only way to tell is to buy it and hope.
All in all, it is an older game and is now being dumped at low prices before it is completely obsolete.
