  • Here is a casual play through of the gun arcade game CarnEvil. I have many fond memories of playing this game at the local arcade back in the day. Some day I'd like to own a dedicated MAME cabinet for shooting games....
    The original CarnEvil arcade game was released by Midway in 1998 and is another game that used a 3dFX graphics chip. Recorded under Mame 141 using a Core i7-860. Enjoy!

      Problem is, people have talked about porting this, or remaking it, or doing a movie…and nobody’s quite sure who holds the intellectual rights, but IIRC the company that generally holds the rights for Midway games (wasn’t it by Midway? If not, whichever company makes it) hasn’t been very cooperative.

      But in House of the Dead, you can learn from previous playthroughs of the patterns of the enemies.
      In here? You either have very minuscule time to attack or consistently shoot with no effect on the enemy. This is especially apparent in the mask fight. No matter how many time you shoot the damn thing, it still keeps charging. The Magician from HOTD stops charging the moment you shoot its weakspot once. At least _that_ was fair.

      I started playing around the same time, the game was nestled in some dark corner of a big dark arcade I went to. I often played alone (while my mom was off with my younger siblings) and I was scared like hell every single time. Freaking 9-10 years old and I remember specifically having nightmares about 9:15, 5:00, 3:00, the laughter at 13:30, and more...terrifying game, cant believe i was playing it at that age.

    I would love to see this game rebooted as like a first-person shooter, resident evil village style. Get stuck in a carnival/theme park, the main plaza is a hub world of sorts, go to every area and slowly piece together what the hell everything is, some fun puzzles and weapon upgrades from the “prize counter”. It could even be called something like “CarnEvil World: Carnival’s Back in Town.”

    You know our main character is a bit of an idiot.
    Aside from putting in the token in the first and last part.
    He goes through this entire carnival of psychotic monsters and demons in the most absurd of ways.
    -Like why did he climb into the roller coaster, instead of walking?
    -Why did he think climbing into the cannon would be a good idea, and not result in one of the demons killing him while he was in there instead of firing it?
    It's a little nitpicky and I think the game's much more enjoyable if you "leave your brain at the door".
    -I still wanted to say that.

      -why didn't he just walk to the center of the big top?
      -why not just bypass all of the other places and make a beeline for the big top?
      Also, why didn't he try to just leave? It's not like he was forced to be there by some sort of curse or anything. He and the girl probably could have left through the main gate. Also, why didn't the girl leave after being saved the first time?

      He wanted to see if the local legend was true.
      - he's just trying tio have a little fun with it
      - the carnival literally rose from the depths of hell so I'm assuming there's a supernatural force keeping him there
      - just like any game there's probably something keeping him from going to the big top so he has to clear the previous 3 stages before he could reach there
      - he put the coin back into the tombstone to either break the curse or because he had fun and wanted to try his luck again
      - the fact that the main character here is only about 11 years old and he had to fight through such hell is pretty badass

    I love this game! Everytime I went to the arcade I would always play this and try and get far! But never could beat it!

    I would love to see this as a 3rd person shooter and with more History of the Jester.

    this is nostalgia right here, I remember playing this in a Mexican resturaunt when I was 10, it creeped me out a lot, but after watching this, it still creeps me out,but in a nostalgic way!

    I love this game, and I almost beat it at the arcade yesterday. But other than that, I think the carnival is something created by the Joker....if he overdosed on Scarecrow toxin.

    Someone has probably said this in the comments already.
    But there was a option Midway put in all cabinets where the owners could change the boss of The Freak Show from the baby Junior to a teddy bear named Deaddy
