Halloween Harry is called into Space Station Liberty and given orders to penetrate the alien ship that has burrowed under a high-rise city. In addition to the flamethrower with which he starts the game, Harry can use weapons dispensers he finds during the game, giving him weapons like the photon cannon, guided missiles, grenades, shields, micro nukes, and the powerful omega bomb. It's an arsenal that will have the aliens shaking in their slimy boots!
