Bio Menace is a classic side-scrolling action platformer originally released by Apogee Software in the early 1990s and later made officially freeware. The game follows Snake Logan, a tough CIA operative sent to Metro City to investigate a sudden outbreak of mutants, monsters, and criminal chaos. What begins as a routine mission quickly escalates into a full-scale battle against bizarre enemies and deadly bosses lurking across the city.
Gameplay is fast, straightforward, and action-packed, focusing on tight controls, run-and-gun combat, and exploration-heavy levels. Players blast through hordes of enemies, rescue hostages, and uncover hidden areas while collecting power-ups and weapons. Bio Menace stands out for its comic-book tone, colorful pixel art, and humorous cutscenes that add personality to the experience. Though old-school in design, it remains enjoyable for fans of retro PC games and classic DOS-era platformers. With three episodes included and smooth performance on modern systems via compatibility tools, Bio Menace is a nostalgic trip into early PC action gaming.
