It Came from the Desert (1989)
Genres:Adventure, Strategy
Themes:Action, Horror, Thriller, Science fiction
Game modes:Single player
Story:It Came From the Desert is an action-adventure game that derives its inspiration from the many cult-horror B-Movies of the 50's and 60's, the 1954 film Them in particular. The player plays the part of Dr. Greg Bradley, a geologist and the newest resident in town. Eager to satisfy his scientific mind, Bradley sets out to examine the crash-site of a mysterious meteor, but what he finds is not at all what he had been looking for.
The game takes place all over Lizard Breath, and there are several different types of action / interaction. The adventure part of the game is very linear, guiding the player in a fairly set sequence of action sections. These include first-person bug shooting, scrolling overhead shooting, and a chase sequence.Show more

I played the game decades after its original release, but I still loved the genuine feeling of panic I got when faced with a giant ant, armed with a flimsy pistol!
It Came From The Desert is a gem in many ways, despite its quirks. The vague unease that permeates through the setting is what sold me on it, and the non-linear, multiple solutions approach to the gameplay is what kept me interested. It's hard to find similar experiences nowadays, and that's a shame in my opinion.
I stumbled across this game by accident but loved it immediately. It reminded me of the 50's Sci-Fi I loved so much and I enjoyed the multiple paths you could take with the story. Depending on your location or the time of day you could encounter situations you didn't have in the last playthrough, and there is a great feeling of unease as you progress......plus it's so much fun trying to escape from the hospital. I hope this game is given a shot on Gog, it's too awesome to be forgotten.
One of the games that is difficult to assign to a genre, because it consists of several genres. Admittedly, it's a lot of trial and error, but it's one of the earliest and most varied playable movies from the Amiga era. Cult
