Alien Carnage vs Bio Menace

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.

Snake Logan, a weapons expert, battles through mutant-infested levels and robotic guards to stop Dr. Mangle’s devastation of Metro. The game blends fast‑paced action with puzzle elements as you navigate side‑scrolling environments and collect powerful weapons like machine guns and grenades. Released in 1993, Bio Menace offers retro pixel graphics and a challenging single‑player campaign, now playable on modern Linux and PC systems. Its sci‑fi setting and varied level design keep players engaged from start to the final showdown in Mangle’s fortress.
