Description
In 1834, in the small New England fishing village of Illsmouth, the
distinguished British scientist Lord Boleskine lost his mind. After studying
ancient manuscripts of evil repute, he had travelled to this place to
observe the passing of Halley's comet. What he observed that night, however,
turned him into a raving lunatic. Now, 76 years later, Halley's comet is
coming back, and young astronomer John T. Parker has travelled to Illsmouth
to try to uncover the truth in Boleskine's wild claims, and see the comet
for himself.
Shadow Of The Comet is a unique horror adventure, inspired by
the terrifying writings of
H. P. Lovecraft.

Trivia
The disk version of the game had a novel copy protection system; A small card "Invitation to Arkham Planetarium" which folded out into a box with a magnifying glass at one end and a miniature star chart at the other end. You had to squint through the glass and match star formations with ones onscreen. Despite its inventiveness, it had a tendency to hurt your eyes and be slightly irritating.
