Barney Carnage 2.5 Barney Is really an alien who wants to take over the World. You Are the only person who knows this, so you get to do what you wanted to do all along, Blow Him To Bits. (this message will be repeated in several places, so don't get annoyed) Barney runs across the srceen, (sometimes he just appears in one place and fades out) you shoot him. Barney is truly an alien who wants to take over the world. The plot progresses as you finish levels. To advance to the next level, you need to score more than1400 points in each level. There are 5 levels in this version. There are several ways to end barney's life. I think the most sadistic(fun) is the Machine gun. The others you can choose from are: Handgun Knife Lightening, and Nuke. There used to be a falling boulder in the older versions of the game, but it conflicted with the new levels. Some people complained about crappy Icons and other art in older versions. I used a collection of art from various sources. I won't list any names because I fear leaving someone out. If you are one of the art senders, and it's really important to you to get your name in this document. You can send me your names, and tell me what art you sent, and I will have your names in the next version. If you have cool, anti barney art that you think would work well, feel free to send it (I'm looking for icons that could create a drive by shooting as a way to kill barney) It is possible to put your own background behind the action in this version (ResEdit PICT ID 129). I need some good background pictures for the next version. This game runs best in 256 colors. in 16 colors it looks like crap, and in thousands of colors, it looks like crap, and some of the sounds don't work. It still runs in each of these, but it works best in 256. Nick Kocherhook was the first person who told me about the easter egg in version 1.4 Jesse Lattanzio was the first person who found out about the 2nd easter egg. I've decided to tell the spoiler to registered users. there's a shareware fee. It costs $5 so you need to send 5 dollars to the address below (Cash or checks only). If you register, I won't ask you to send money for new versions. John Swanson 1089 Burgoyne St. Mtn. View ,CA 94043 send money (or guitars) to the address above and you can know that I know that my shameless pleading for money worked. I can be emailed to at the following address: Lake0Fire@aol.com (the 0 is a zero, not an O) write to me to and ask for permission to PUT THIS GAME ON YOUR WEBSITES because I want this game on every computer in the world... ok i think that's all. VERSION HISTORY ___________________________ 1.00 - initial release. It's a simple shoot him 'cause he's there kind of game. 1.01 - made barney not pause so long when hit ( I hope). Added a whole bunch of ways to kill him. 1.2 - made the background white (used to be black). I hope I fixed the problem with the opening screens. Gave the game smoother graphics on all machines. 1.4 - added in 2nd level, devil-Barneys, and some other stuff. I can't remember... oh yeah, the plot. Barney Carnage is no longer a short shoot him 'cause he's there game. Now it's a shoot him 'cause he's an alien who wants to take over the earth game. Also added the thing where the score is printed on the screen as you play. 1.5 through 1.9 did not exist( don't ask why, they just don't) 2.0- A LOT of stuff was added to this version. 3 more levels (a total of 5). A bunch of small bug fixes. Got rid of the ratings and put in the total score. got rid of the boulder because it sucked and conflicted with the new levels. special effects in the ending if you beat the game. and of course the new spoiler ... 2.1- Put in new Icons by StripesJr@aol.com. (thank him, everyone) Fixed bugs where game would quit after barney runs off the screen(I just thought of it as good motivation to not let him get away, but you guys thought of it as a bug). I also fixed the bug that made it impossible to beat the game because there weren't enough barneys in the last level to get to 1400 points. 2.5- Finally actually really fixed the bugs. added some new graphics. put inanimate icons (such as dead barneys) in the background so that they won't get erased when barney re-runs over them. New opening sequence show effects of all weapons. You can then select a weapon by clicking the mouse on one of the dead Barneys. The end game screen now shows how many points you got on the last level to see how close you were to the required 1400 points. You can now shoot the Barney ships in the ending sequence to see the shields. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © Johnathan Swanson 1996.
