This is a little bit hard to believe, but when we took notice of the Facebook profile change on the official Plants versus Zombies page today, we realized just how old we are and maybe you’ll feel old too.
There’s not a child alive or a parent of a child. Or older gamer, 2 who has not heard of PVZ ..Or played it.. Or both.
The game has been around longer than some children who play It have been alive. It has a nostalgic presence for this generation, somewhat like Super Mario brothers, did for the 1980s crowd.
Plants vs. Zombies was first released by PopCap Games in 2009 as a tower defense game where players use a variety of plants to defend their homes from waves of zombies.
The game was initially available on PC and Mac but quickly gained popularity, leading to its release on various platforms, including smartphones, gaming consoles, and handheld devices. Its quirky, colorful graphics and simple yet strategic gameplay made it a hit with both casual and more dedicated gamers. The game’s design, which was created by George Fan, combined humor and creativity, making it a fresh take for its time..
Following its success, Plants vs. Zombies expanded to mobile platforms, becoming one of the most downloaded games on iOS and Android devices. It was also ported to major gaming consoles like Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo platforms, where it retained its appeal due to its adaptability to different control schemes. The game eventually spawned a franchise, including sequels like Plants vs. Zombies 2, as well as spinoff games like Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, which introduced third-person shooter elements.
So download the app.. relaunch the app. Or log on today to celebrate.
15 happy birthday to all the plants and zombies who still verse each other somewhere out there. In cyberspace, handheld devices or a gaming platform near you.
