Play Alien Carnage Online

You're Halloween Harry, bouncing through factories with a shotgun, blasting aliens before they turn everyone into green goo zombies—including some suspiciously Elvis-looking ones. The DOS controls feel stiff at first, but nailing those mid-air shots while Diane yells warnings through static hits just right.

Game Overview

Alien Carnage is this weird little DOS gem where you play as Halloween Harry—basically a dude in a skeleton costume who runs around blasting aliens before they turn everyone into zombies. The art style’s super cartoony, and the enemies are a bizarre mix of Gremlins knockoffs, facehugger-looking things, and… Elvis impersonators? Yeah, it’s that kind of game.

Diane pops up on a grainy video feed to give you mission updates, which mostly boil down to "shoot the green guys before they spread their goo everywhere." The controls take a second to get used to (classic DOS jank), but once you do, it’s oddly satisfying to bounce around factories and labs with a shotgun. Just don’t expect deep lore—this is pure 90s "save the world with bullets" nonsense in the best way.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
