Shadow of the Comet

Does anyone remember this game? I believe it came out in either 92 or 93
and we played it probably in 95 or so.

I recently pulled out my old Dell Pentium P100, blew off the dust and booted
it - actually hoping it would still boot - so I could go back and play some
old games I'm unable to play under ME or XP. Fortunately, after sitting in
a closet for quite a while, it booted up perfectly. I quickly loaded 2
games - Star Trek Judgment Rites on CD and Shadow of the Comet on CD. It's
been quite a few years since I played either of these games and I couldn't
wait to start playing again. Last Sunday, I started SOC and have almost
made it thru Day 1.

Eventho it is 12 or so years old, the graphics are very good and add much to
the atmosphere - as does the music. The store line is fantastic and the
puzzles are not only intertwined with the story but are challanging and
enjoyable. I'm having a lot of fun with this game again. The only problem
I've seen ist he interface. I use my mouse and sometimes it can be "clunky"
to control Parker.

Anyway, just wondering if anyone remembers this game ans what they thought.

Thanks.

I've heard it's hard to get running at all.

Hi !!

I remember it well - and really enjoyed the first half - but for me, the
second half was too "way out" altogether and had me laughing in all the
wrong places ;-)

I do agree the graphics were excellent for the day, though.

Cheers.
