🎮 Play Alien Carnage Online (DOS)

Alien Carnage is a 1993 DOS action-platformer released by Apogee Software where you play as Halloween Harry, a mercenary tasked with stopping an alien invasion that is turning civilians into zombies. Armed with a signature flamethrower and a jetpack, you navigate sprawling, multi-tiered levels to rescue hostages and push back the alien menace.

How to play

Instead of standard jumping, you navigate using Harry’s jetpack to fly over hazards and reach higher platforms. The jetpack consumes fuel, which automatically recharges when you touch the ground. Your main objective in each stage is to rescue all the captive humans before taking the elevator to the next level. Defeated enemies drop coins, which you can spend at weapon dispensers scattered throughout the stages to buy upgrades like the photon cannon or guided missiles. The game uses standard DOS controls, and you can press Right Alt + Enter to toggle fullscreen mode in your browser.

Tips

• Manage your jetpack fuel: Short, controlled bursts are better than holding the thrust key, ensuring you don’t run out of fuel halfway across a hazard.
• Save coins for the right weapon: Your default flamethrower has limited range, so invest early in the photon cannon for long-range engagements or the omega bomb to clear out crowded rooms.
• Look for secret areas: Pay attention to false walls or paths obscured by foreground objects, as they often hide extra health or high-value coin stashes.
