Alien Carnage / Halloween Harry Interactive Binary Illusions, SubZero Software / Apogee Software, Ltd. 1993

This is a side-scrolling platform cartoon-style game that features agent Halloween Harry who has to save the world from aliens who want to take over control of Earth by turning its population into green-skinned zombies. Some of the enemies reference Aliens, Gremlins, and Elvis Presley. Harry is helped by controller Diane, who gives him information via a video link. The game features 256 colour VGA graphics and background music. In the game, Harry has to shoot zombies and aliens with his flamethrower and other weapons, rescuing hostages along the way. Instead of jumping, Harry uses a jetpack to reach higher platforms. His jetpack shares ammo with his flamethrower, which means it is best for the player to use both sparingly. Harry can eat and drink junk food to gain health, and upgrade to different kinds of ammo by using ammo dispensers. Harry needs to collect coins dropped by killed enemies to buy this ammo. He can also pick up other power-ups with various effects. He can use computer terminals scattered across the levels to save his progress. An instant hit for Apogee after its release as shareware and subsequent commercial game under the new name Alien Carnage, Halloween Harry is a great platformer that features cool weapons, numerous levels, tough enemies, and many power-ups. There was a sequel named Zombie Wars. In 2000, a full patched version for modern systems was released as freeware.
