Starring hero "Halloween Harry", Alien Carnage is an impressive game with no detail overlooked. Professional musical soundtrack, brilliant full-VGA graphics, non-stop animation and huge start-game and end-game cinematics. If Duke Nukem has a twin separated at birth, it's got to be Halloween Harry!

Kill in Color: Incredible VGA graphics and animation with 256 colors and over a dozen cinematic sequences. "Incredible" indeed :-p Game Over, Man: Huge "boss" aliens in each of the four missions. "boss"?? or bosses? Page Turner: A compelling and sometimes-comical narrative prior to every mission. "sometimes-comical" indeed Area 51: Many secrets and bonuses to discover - lots of replay value. "Many secrets and bonuses to" die... Save Your Game: Games saves, cheat mode, three skill levels and more. "cheat mode" :-DD . three skill levels :-DD comicall!! Controller Support: Partial Xbox 360 Controller support. "Partial Xbox 360 Controller support"!! yeah, thank god is partial!!
Probably great fun in 1994 when it was released but didn't age well

Not a bad game. I've played enough side-scrollers to last me a lifetime, but I gotta say, the jetpack is pretty cool. It allows for a lot of movement options not really afforded by standard gameplay. The powerups coming from money which you then spend to buy stuff is an interesting choice, I dunno if I like it. And the only downside I see to running out of fuel (on which your flamethrower and your jetpack both run off) is not being able to use said flamethrower - your jetpack can continue to 'run on fumes' as it were. I dunno, obviously you're probably not going to buy this game for this game alone, I expect you're picking it up in a bundle or something. Mainly, this is a nostalgia game, I think.
Great game along the lines of classic Duke Nukam but better. Sorry Duke.
I remember fondly a wonderful friend of my Mothers gifting me this game as a Child. I never knew it as "Alien Carnage," because it was a Promo disk by the name of Halloween Harry. I sought out this game for so many years after we had replaced our computer that it was painstakingly upgraded in order to satisfy my desires to play it properly. After searching far and wide, I found an original 2 floppy version on Ebay, and used a USB floppy reader to install it on my P.C. I later found that I already owned the title on Steam, once I finally installed Alien Carnage through the ID Collection. I have only played through the first Chapter that was in Free Shareware, but am eager to return and leave a follow up. The game was a great add on to my collection of Commander Keen titles, as it gave more graphical representation of Adult leads that resembled heroes in my life. I cherished this game, and was please to find my old Vista 486 that is fired up and yet to display me readouts of its contents. I hope the original Shareware copy is still installed. I would greatly recommend this to my children, and hope they get to play it using the same computer and monitor that I used as a child, over 25 years ago. Peace and Love, Joshua
TJa, was gibt es mehr zu diesem Spiel zu sagen, als das es sich um einen Platformer aus den 90er Jahren handelt, der Hochzeit dieser Art von PC-Spielen. Und dieses Spiel gehört zu den Spielen, die man zu dieser Zeit gespielt haben muss. Heute natürlich etwas angestaubt aber immer noch gut!
Tags: Sidescroll Shooter Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Level design involves a lot of backtracking, areas empty of foes that hurt pacing. The controls are iffy. For nostalgia purposes only.

This is a nostalgia buy. This game's controls are really bad thanks to the jetpack.
