Back when I was a growing up, only one kid in the street had a computer. So we’d all go around and play the latest shareware titles. Our favourite was the violent, flame filled kill-fest known as Halloween Harry. It later became re-titled Alien Carnage, then later released as freeware. You can now download every episode of this game completely for free, legally. And I thank the people who made this possible.
Many of the games key aspects can be seen as quite tame by today’s standards – the violence for one. Flaming a zombie who simply turns white when injured then disintegrates isn’t as thrilling as it was fifteen years ago. The game’s simple platforming can also seem primitive at times, also.
There is lots to like about this title, even beyond nostalgia value. For example, in between rescuing beautiful women, spot the mysterious Elvis characters you have to rescue some times. The enemies are often varied – take the blob one which squelches across the ceilings. The weapons are varied and include the standard flame thrower, heat seeking rockets and the almighty Omega. All of which are purchasable via vending machines – which you can afford to use by blowing away enemies who drop loose change (I can’t wait for the future).
Its simple fun, it’s pretty long (spanning four chapters with multiple levels in each) and the ability to complete more than the first before the shareware period ends is simply amazing. I, for one, will continue to return to Harry and his alien shredding ways over and over again. Now that it’s free, I hope that you will, too.
