Shadow of the Comet is one of the best horror games ever produced, with a gripping storyline based on Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos, good puzzles, and a wonderful atmosphere and characters despite some interface quirks.
As journalist who arrived in a small town to photograph comet Halley's passing, you soon find that the event signifies a more sinister plan. Some pixel-hunting and time limits are annoying, but the game is excellent overall.

A superb adventure game with great atmosphere and story.
Good and logical storyline but adventure game spoilt by arcade sequences in cave ended up abandone the game.
I tried to load it using Boxer. Boxer states it is NOT a DOS game and will not load it.
All you guys behind this awesome website, to you all, I give a million thanks and best regards from India on behalf of myself and thousands of other RETRO RPG games FANS
So the game keeps going to a loader coded page. Can't figure out how to get past it. Help?
Jack Nicholson!? Kate Mulgrew!? David Carradine!? What a star-studded cast!
the blonde in the bottom left corner is definitely Melanie Griffith. And I think the fat dude second row, right most...is the same fat dude from Beetlejuice.
Guy next to the Vincent Price look-alike resembles Patrick Swayze.
@ Tetrah: That's definitely Jack Nicholson
the guy near the top looks like Vincent Price
Is that... Jack Nicholson? '-'

Voices don't play and unable to use mouse.
