 "Total Carnage!"

The year is 1999, and the evil General Akhboob closes off his country to the rest of the world and captures all of the reporters that went to the scene looking for a story. Also, the General is using his base to create mutants, stockpiling weapons and doing other various nasty things, and it's up to the Doomsday Squad (Captain Carnage and Major Mayhem) to go in, destroy the base and capture General Akhboob.

Tropes used in Total Carnage include:

  "You suck at this game!"

  • Losing Horns: Played in the event that a screen-clearing bomb does nothing.
  • Ludicrous Gibs
  • Made of Iron: Mooks and Bosses, but also...
  • Made of Plasticine: You the PC, and all of the humanoid mooks.
  • Man On Fire: Setting fire to certain objects (e.g. vehicles) will turn nearby Mooks into burning men, who charge at you with flaming fists. You're not so lucky, if your super wussy plasticine muscleman touches anything even remotely flaming (like the burning men), you are instant cinders.
  • More Dakka
  • Muscles Are Meaningless: Boy howdy! Your character's muscles put even the Hulk to shame. But one touch of anything and you are instant meatsauce.
  • Nitro Boost: Sneakers increase the heroes' walking speed as they go "Whoop-whoop-whoop-whoop-whoop"
  • One-Hit-Point Wonder: The Player Characters and most mooks.
  • One Up: Dog tags in various segments.
  • Ow, My Body Part: Orcus, the game's first boss, will scream something like this whenever one of his (its?) body parts is destroyed.

  Orcus: "My head! My head!"
