Your question for John Passfield

John Passfield not only worked on Halloween Harry / Alien Carnage (1993), but also created the original Halloween Harry (1985, not for DOS). Right now he’s working on a brand new upcoming Halloween Harry game (also not DOS lol): https://store.steampowered.com/app/3040430/Halloween_Harry/

So this being our game of the month seemed like a good time to reach out to John and see if he’s up for an interview. And it turns out he is!

Besides Halloween Harry, John Passfield is also the creator of Flight of the Amazon Queen, which is a great point & click adventure game that we should definitely look at in a future month.

John’s been active in the Australian game industry for many years, so I’m sure he’s got plenty of stories for us to hear.

Nice!

Was he also involved in the sequel ‘Zombie Wars’? If so – it would be nice if he could share something about how the development for that one went.

If this is too broad – then specifically – what pushed the team to release what is essentially a same-technology sequel so late after the first game.

Thanks!
