About Alien Carnage (Halloween Harry)
Alien Carnage, first released as Halloween Harry, is a 1993 platform shooter by John Passfield, Robert Crane and Tony Ball, published by Apogee Software. Halloween Harry flies with a jetpack and burns zombies with a flamethrower across four missions: sewers, factory, office block and alien ship.
