Alien Carnage vs Bejeweled 2

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.
