Captain Comic was very difficult. Great game.

I got it for free, along with Jill of the Jungle, and Wolfenstein 3D, with a Gravis PC Gamepad back in the day. They all came on two floppies, I was amazed that so much content could go on two discs that I could carry with me.

It seems to be a common theme among the creators' other games, e.g. Wolfenstein 3D.
