The Dark Half is an Adventure Game for DOS developed by Symtus and published by Capstone Software that was released in 1992. It's based on Stephen King's novel of the same name, with pictures taken from the film adaptation. You control the novel's protagonist Thad Beaumont, who had his George Stark pen name buried, but he somehow rises from the dead and starts killing people. Now he has to avoid the police, save his family, and get rid of George for good.The game uses an engine that is reminiscent of SCUMM and supports VGA graphics. Thad is controlled by selecting one from thirteen different commands located at the bottom of the screen and clicking on something. Items in his inventory are located in the top part. Deaths are few and far between, with most of them happening due to the police, when you either pick the wrong answer to a question or get caught when you're not supposed to. | |

| The Dark Half (Video Game) / int_50f66629 | comment |
Crazy-Prepared: If Thad takes George's razor when he's distracted to take a pencil but doesn't replace it with a dull one, it'll turn out that the latter expected the former to take it and has another one with him. | |

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: If Thad dies once George is given too many solid plot suggestions, the latter tells the former he's done such a good job, he doesn't need him anymore. | |

American Kirby Is Hardcore | |
| The Dark Half (Video Game) / int_9d09bf1a | comment |
American Kirby Is Hardcore: Zigzagged. In most regions, the cover only shows the bloodied logo, while the Spanish cover shows a picture of sparrows at night forming a face. One is "hardcore" by using blood and being simplistic, while the other is ominous and atmospheric. | |

| The Dark Half (Video Game) / int_e9d0e7ce | comment |
Useless Item: The bird whistle and the crowbar have no gameplay usage. While the whistle has a long list of steps to get it and the hint book tells you it's really not that important, the crowbar is easy to buy and is implied to have some use which has been scrapped in development. | |
