An explanation of Halloween Harry vs. Alien Carnage Halloween Harry was written by SubZero Software, located in Australia. Apogee is the game's distributor. In October of 1993, Apogee released v1.1 of Halloween Harry in the United States. As with Wacky Wheels and Mystic Towers, version 1.0 of Halloween Harry was actually an incomplete version of the game released to a magazine in the UK. The first complete, public release of Halloween Harry was version 1.1. A month later, v1.2 of the game was released. A year after that, Apogee suggested a title change to "Alien Carnage." SubZero agreed. Thus, in early November of 1994, "Halloween Harry" was dropped from Apogee's distribution, and "Alien Carnage" added. Alien Carnage v1.0 is essentially Halloween Harry v1.2 with a name change, price change, and episode reorganization. The shareware version of Alien Carnage (its first episode) is Halloween Harry's episode three. With the exception of this reorganization, Alien Carnage consists of the same episodes as Halloween Harry. The shareware version of Halloween Harry is still legal to distribute; however, Apogee prefers you distribute the shareware version of Alien Carnage only, as this version has the new pricing information screens.
