Play CarnEvil (v1.0.3) Online
Blast through a nightmare carnival where zombie clowns and chainsaw freaks pop up between creepy carnival games—just try not to jump when the jump scares hit. That janky voice acting and pixel gore? Pure arcade gold.
CarnEvil came out in 1998 through MAME, the arcade emulator, letting players experience Midway's light gun shooter from home. It arrived during a time when arcade cabinets were still a major force, and this game was designed to eat quarters with its over-the-top horror theme and relentless action.
You control a crosshair on screen, shooting a seemingly endless parade of monstrous clowns, demons, and other carnival-themed horrors that advance toward you. The main objective is simply to survive each wave, clearing screens of enemies before they can get too close. Signature mechanics include shooting specific environmental objects for power-ups, like a spread shot or rapid fire, and timed button presses for context-sensitive actions, such as hurling a grenade. The pacing is frantic, and the difficulty is unforgiving, demanding quick reflexes and precise aim. It feels like a chaotic, gleefully violent trip through a haunted house where you are always one trigger pull away from being overwhelmed.
