Message: [QUOTE="_oBSOLEte_, post: 218404, member: 39353"] Got the Lovecraft itch again. So I finally got my hands on the three comics related with the now 30 yo game "Prisoner of Ice" (thanks Anna). Three small pulp stories, "La Geôle de Pandore", "Le Glaive du Crépuscule" et "La Cité des Abimes", 50-70 pages each, closely inspired by this and that from the Cthulhu mythos. [ATTACH type="full" alt="prisonerofice.jpg"]74561[/ATTACH] Published here by the infamous Infogrames and their cult leader Bruno Bonnell, the necromancer behind the Atari Group. I guess it was all part of an early transmedia plot involving Chaosium and the Call of Cthulhu tabletop RPG franchise. The three comics were bundled with the PC CD-ROM of the game in a special edition of "PCSoluce", a french gaming magazine. They were really out for our hard-earned money, though times to be a nerd during the 90s satanic panic, so many fhtagns to buy... I'm also playing the game, who got a Japan PSX port patched with both text and audio dialogs for English, French, Russian and Spanish. It's a meh point and click with nice graphics and good ambience, and the PSX mouse is supported. The port suffers from PSX's downscaled resolution, tho, so I play the PC version in RetroArch DOSBox pure with Gravis US sound settings.
