Early 80's zombie boardgame?

SOLVED!

So in the back of gaming magazines (primarily, DRAGON Magazine), back in the early to mid-eighties, i saw advertisements for a couple different zombie boardgames.

They sounded like take offs of Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead.

Sadly, that's all i remember. I was hoping to find out more about early zombie boardgames. I know the ones from 2000's up to today, but not any early ones.

Any info (reviews especially) appreciated EDIT: Solved! It was "Attack of the Mutants" (1981)

When biking in Portland, what's the best distance between cyclists? 6 feet, 18? Barely in sight? Not within sight?

So after seeing the anger about cyclists drafting in Portland, i obviously realized that people don't want someone just off their rear wheel. However, i also got the impression that people don't want other cyclists anywhere near them.

I posted a thread politely asking this earlier and got tons of down votes. I think that perhaps it was because i made the mistake of putting "drafting" in the title and people didn't read the actual post where i elaborated on what i was asking. So, my apologies, but I'm trying again.

When you're on a bicycle in Portland, what's a respectful distance for a cyclist to have behind you if you're traveling similar speeds? Should it be 6 feet? Should it be a lot farther? Should you just hang back until your no longer in sight?

I've bicycled for a long time and never gave any of this a thought. I just thought that when you bicycle, your speed changes with wind, your energy level, whether you're going up or downhill, etc. Sometimes you'll trail behind someone, sometimes you'll pass someone slowly (or speedily), other times they'll do similar to you.

I just didn't realize how upset people were at not just drafting, but a biker being just 6-10 feet behind someone. I am posting this question so i can be better community member.

Drafting part 2, distance buggaloo

So people are complaining about people drafting behind them without communicating on places like the Springwater Corridor

In the interest of civil discussion, what is a respectful distance to be behind someone before someone is "creeped out".

3 feet? 6 feet? Farther?

So my indoor tux made a run for it out the front door. She didn't have a collar on, so i was really worried. She's run out before, but weirdly, only on rainy days (she's always had a massive curiosity regarding water).

The little sweety wanted to explore and kept on waiting for me. She refused treats and stayed just out of reach, trying to draw me further into the yard for adventures.

It was dark, the underbrush thick, and i had no flashlight. I gave up, turned the porch light on, and went inside.

After a couple minutes, she started chattering at me, trying to get me outside again. I fell for it.

She again stayed just out of reach, but would go up to things, look at me and chatter.. like she either was showing me these amazing things she found, or asking me what it was.

Finally managed to scoop her up when she went to a neighbor's door. She tried to squirm out, but settled down and has been super affectionate since.
