Alien Carnage

Trivia

On May 24, 2007 Alien Carnage was released as freeware by 3D Realms with the permission of John Passfield. The game had previously been discontinued from their product line on April 21, 2000 due to it having problems running on Windows. They recommend using DOSBox to run the game on Windows 2000/XP/Vista.

Version 1.0 of the shareware version (Haloween Harry) of the game was an incomplete version released only to a UK magazine. The first publicly available version of the game was v1.1

The music in Halloween Harry was done with .mod files, slightly altered to not play in a standard mod player

The 3rd level boss, a "sentry droid", is labelled THX-1138 -- George Lucas's first movie, made even before Star Wars. (This is a common injoke in the game industry.)
