Dead Dude II: Night of the Living Uncool

Dead Dude II: Night of the Living Uncool is a platforming game developed and published by Murphy Computing for the TLB2 game console, released in 1989.

It is the sequel to Dead Dude: Undead Cool Guy.

Synopsis
Reflecting the year of the game's release, this sequel takes place five years after the events of Undead Cool Guy.

Things are totally righteous for everybody's favorite surfing skeleton, Dead Dude. However, things take a turn for the totally bogus, when a unrighteous land developer named Taylor Bell got his mitts on Rolazar Kane's scepter and used it to raise an army of zombies. He intended to use the zombies to drive people off the beaches of California, so that he could buy the land cheap. Noticing the threat, Dead Dude goes on a new adventure to take out the zombies, stop Taylor Bell's plans, and destroy Kane's scepter, with Chelsea chipping in.

Cast of Characters

 * Dead Dude - He returns in an all-new adventure to take out a bunch of undead goons and save the day, just as he did five years prior.
 * Chelsea - A close compatriot of Dead Dude's, she does whatever she could to help him in his journey to clear out all the undead baddies.
 * Taylor Bell - The main antagonist. A greedy realtor who, upon obtaining Rolazar Kane's magic scepter, enacted a totally unrighteous plan to use zombies to scare people off the beaches of California so that he could buy up them up for land development.

Gameplay
As with the first game, Dead Dude takes three hits before dying, but can restore health by collecting food items and temporarily extending his maximum health capacity by collecting medkits. In terms of the controls, with lessons learned from the first game and criticism from various players, the team at Murphy Computing SD2 made refinements to enrich the gameplay experience. The surfing bonus stages also make a comeback, joined by new bonus stages involving breakdancing contests or performing skateboarding tricks on a half-pipe.

Controls

Reception
Dead Dude II: Night of the Living Uncool is considered by those who played the first game a significant improvement over its predecessor released five years earlier. With the numbers of copies sold, plus the positive reviews the game received, Dead Dude became part of the Murphy's pantheon alongside Bladenite.
