Trivia
- The Comet game was modelled on the Riverview theme park in Chicago and was to be called by that name, however it was (correctly) felt that nobody outside the Chicago area would know of the attraction, and so the name was change to Comet - then name of one of Riverview's roller coasters.
- The game became the first in Barry Oursler's roller-coaster themed pinballs. The other two are Cyclone (1988), and Hurricane (1991).
- The Comet was the first game to feature a 1,000,000 point shot.
