Shadow of the Comet (Intro) ENG

[Bajamamut]

A great game that I'm LPing now in its Spanish version ^_^ I'm having sme problems to record it, though. You seem to have captured the scene with great quality. What encoder and recording program did you use, and at what Frame Rate did you record this?

@Bajamamut

Hi

I am glad you liked the video. I used the built in recording function in DOSBox to capture this. You can probably find more information here: dosbox.com/wiki/Recording_Vide­o

[Shingblad]

Somebody needs to do a ways to die vid on this game....

[fabry5005]

Really a wonderful game!

[towes]

My 2nd comment on this vid. Thanks again. This REALLY is a classic game. Simply awesome.

[neongecko06]

The way those two dudes keep montonously chattering their jaws long after they said their lines makes it look like they're grazing. XD

[TheKidDoc81]

Is there anyway you can turn the subtitles off at the start of the game so you can watch the intro without them?

[LordCidElAuntentico]

"The Book spoke the Truth. aaaaahhhh..."

[fluxmuldar]

This game was awesome. Very creepy, and great music. I remember there was also a museum mini-game where you could walk through the "Lovecraft Museum" and look at various exhibits.

[FrozenSnake999]

I wish there would be real incidents like this.

[abrogate]

I remember a website that had the Alone in the Dark music in a .RAW adplug format, so it sounded like it came directly out of the game. Does anyone know how to make these formats? I've been wanting the Shadow of the Comet soundtrack like that forever...

[Konuvis]

The pacing of the dialogues i assume is due to CD-Rom access right?

BTW thos of you you like this game need to play Prisoner of Ice. a spiritual sequel and an amazing game.

[towes]

True that, excellent game.

BTW Parker appears at the game explaining the events previously happened at Shadow of the Comet

[odraconiandevil79]

WOW I downloaded a DOS version of the game with a walkthrough but it never had this fabulous intro! Thanks for this!

[TheSpoofMan3]

This game is pure genius. Usually its hard for me to get into games that go so far back, but any work inspired or visualized in H.P. Lovecraft's work is something I'm always willing to give a chance to. The only other great game that was inspired by Lovecraft that I played was Alone In The Dark of the 90s, and only recently I learned of this one and have successfully completed it. I wish there more games like these, that were mind bogglingly terrifying.

[towes]

totally agree with you man! 100%

[Quicksilver6]

@TheSpoofMan3 If you're looking for others, Eternal Darkness and Penumbra are two excellent games based loosely on the Cthulhu Mythos.

[snap90210]

this game was great !

it never going to be an equal one .. mistery terror horror atmosphere, this game had it all

it takes me almost an year to complete it back in 1994

[towes]

thank you thank you thank you

i've never seen the complete intro even when im a huge fan of this game, in fact its my favorite graphic adventure game

awesome, i really would like to get the cd version of this game, the voices, MY GOD, never listen the game with speech

i almost cry, thx man

REALLY, thx!

[Karekristensson]

Somebody should do a playthrough of Prisoner of Ice and Shadow of The Comet!

[egdeltur666]

for reals!

[Karekristensson]

Actually somebody has already done a playthrough of Prisoner of Ice.

[POLE7645]

I'm thinking of doing one once I'm done with Alone in the Dark.

[RaineMan213]

Please do it. The only reason I stumbled upon this was because I was watching your AITD playthrough, and, thus, your Boleskine journal remark...

[Arjozof]

I hope you have the CD version with ENGLISH speech pack. I'd just love to hear those creepy incantations!

[POLE7645]

I have a multi-language version, but the speech is always in English. The only changes are in the subtitles and the written text.

[Arjozof]

Awesome! Can't wait to see it on youtube then! Good luck in the catacombs!

[POLE7645]

For now, I'm a bit stuck at the town hall. I get the right number sequence, say the right things to the officer, but I still get caught.

[towes]

hahaha catacombs where HELL!

[Thekandy]

It's pretty awesome i can tell you, i own an original cd back from the days.

[Thekandy]

In fact, if you guys want a rip, maybe i can put up a torrent.

[towes]

YES PLEASE, this is my favorite game, but I never had the chane to play it with speech!

Does it run in win xp?! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SHARE THIS GAMEEEEEEEEEEE hahaha (for real :S)

[TuomasMattson]

If you want to play this game again, use DOSbox and download it from a site like home of the underdogs. Not hard, nor illegal. :P

[DasMischungBaby]

The one thing that is really standing out to me... Are the eyes. My god, are those eyes goofy. Only at 0:37 is it really bad.

[adamdeangelo]

I love it, wish I can play this like I did back in the day, don't have a win 95 or prior though :(.  I am glad you posted this cause' it brings back lots of good memories, thank you!
