Developed by an Australian group called Interactive Binary Illusions
(Later renamed Gee Whiz Entertainment) in 1994, Alien Carnage is
actually the exact same game as as the 1993 release Halloween Harry.
This is becuase Apogee, the game's publisjer's actually request the
name be changed. After this, they then request that all distribution of
the older Halloween Harry stop. As far as I know, Alien Carnage was
sold commerically everywhere except Australia, where the game was
actually relased under the older title Halloween Harry.
Like most Apogee games of the mid ninties, Alien Carnage is a shooting
platform game. However, what games this game unqieue are that the her
fist of all uses a flame thrower that actually ACTS like a flame
Thrower (Instead of just shoot flame shaped bolts, like the flame
thrower in Duke Nukem 2 for example). Secondly, the main character was
not able to jump. Instead he had to get around on his jetpack, making
the levels much more interesting than a normal platform game. Now, you
didn't have to worry about trying to make a very hard jump. Instead,
you had to figure out how to get around when soem spaces were actually
too small for Harry to fit through.
But Harry wasn't just limited to the default Flame Thrower, and
actually had access to a number of other weapons.(See the weapons page
for more detail.)
