It Came From the Desert

Anybody played it? It seems great.

Yeah mate.
Played it a long long time ago on my Amiga 500
(or make that "Amiga 1000". Top Nerdage anywho).

Cant really remember if i ever finished it, but i guess if i look through the intire youtube movie ill find out

Seem to rember i liked it. Remember it having a creepy atmosphere with that creepy music over the Map and all. If u like old sci fi turkeys, this is a must. Although watch out for those action sequences.

Heads up for the link btw. Made me check out the origin of the movie:

Oh yeah! I played it on my Amiga 500, though I never finished it. Never even got round to the sequel (Ant Heads).

Not sure whether I would call it an adventure game, strictly speaking, but it's good, whatever it is. I think Cinemaware has released all its old Amiga titles into the public domain, so if you can get hold of it, do.

I played this a lot on my old Amiga 500.

A true classic game, I never got very far in it as I was so young that I didn't really even no what to do in it.

All Cinemaware games were great, I had most of them.

Played the game years ago.

I liked it though i never got to finish it. Fun game , though i wouldn't classified it as strictly a adventure game. It had adventure elements but throughout sprinked with arcade segments. Always ended up in that damn hospital mini game.

Cinemaware games are all like that, a mixture of genres.

I don't know about public domain, but you can get at least some of them if you sign up at http://www.cinemaware.com/.

You could download a PC-version there (even without signing up). Cool.

I used to play this on my Amiga, like 18 years ago, omg has it really been that long? (gah, i feel so old)
There was also a sequel, named Antheads, although i think It Came Back for Dessert would have been a much better name.
