In "Total Carnage", an evil Middle Eastern dictator named General Akhboob closes off his country to the rest of the world following a war in 1999. Hundreds of reporters flocked to the zone in hopes of getting a real scoop. Unfortunately for them, one of the reporters discovers that there's more than baby milk being made at the Baby Milk Factory. General Akhboob kills the reporter and captures all the remaining reporters in his country. It turns out that General Akhboob has been building an army of mutants and a stockpile of chemical weapons. He's also holding several American reporters captive. It is up to the Doomsday Squad, composed of Captain Carnage (Player 1) and Major Mayhem (Player 2), to invade Akhboob's base, wipe out his forces, destroy Orcus, rescue all the hostages and capture Akhboob.
Along the way, Captain Carnage and Major Mayhem fight various mutants and monsters and eventually General Ahkboob himself. Ahkboob transforms into several forms, including a series of three giant heads.
Jon Hey followed up his sound creation for "
Smash TV " with the sound and music for "Total Carnage".Ed Boon , who created "Mortal Kombat " for Midway along withJohn Tobias , was the voice of General Akhboob.References
