Crazy Comets is a shoot 'em up programmed by Simon Nicol for the Commodore 64 and published by Martech in 1985.[1] The game is a clone of Gottlieb's 1983 Mad Planets arcade game,[2] even using the same logo treatment with "Crazy" and "Comets" replacing "Mad" and "Planets" respectively. The two music tracks and the sound effects were produced by Rob Hubbard.[3] Crazy Comets was followed by a 1987 sequel, also programmed by Nicol, Mega Apocalypse.
