Alien Carnage vs Alien Hominid

Alien Carnage is a classic 1994 side‑scrolling platform shooter developed by Interactive Binary Illusions and SubZero Software. Set on a besieged Earth, you play as Harry, infiltrating an alien ship to stop a zombie‑making invasion. The game features 256‑color VGA graphics, MOD‑format music, and a diverse arsenal including photon cannons, guided missiles, grenades, shields, micro nukes, and the devastating Omega bomb. Originally released as shareware, all four episodes are now free and support modern Windows systems.

With split‑screen co‑op and a quirky comedic tone, Alien Hominid delivers chaotic mayhem for up to two players. Its retro‑style gameplay and vibrant visuals keep the action fresh and endlessly replayable.
