Zombie Nation[a] is a 1990 Shoot 'em up game developed by KAZe and published by Meldac. It was first released in Japan on December 14, 1990 before being released later in the United States in January 1991.

The game revolves around the floating samurai head Namakubi goes to the United States to destroy Darc Seed—an alien who crashed to Earth via a meteorite in 1999, turned all the American people into zombies, and took control of various deadly weapons. Namakubi must recover the samurai sword Shura and destroy Darc Seed and its minions. This game features a juxtaposition of zombies, aliens and samurai.

Takane Ōkubo, its designer, had previously worked on Bōken Danshaku Don: The Lost Sunheart,[2] a similar title for the NEC PC Engine.
