File Formats

Malvineous has documented the file formats here.

Executable Packing

In every revision, COMIC.EXE is packed with EXEPACK. Revision 1 uses an earlier version of EXEPACK that not all unpackers can handle. Try these ones:

R1swh21988 (a hacked version) doesn't have COMIC.EXE but rather MENU.EXE, and the EXEPACK layer appears to be wrapped in another layer that adds an advertisement for "Red Point".
