It Came from the Desert

Any fans of this game on? I loved it on the Amiga, very atmospheric.

Is it classed as an adventure though or an RPG?

I liked this game on the amiga. Closest is adventure, but the game did have some action elements too.

A true classic that made owning an Amiga well worth it!

I remember paying a fortune to buy the additional 512KB (yes, kilobytes!) it needed to run.

The game was what we used to call "arcade adventure", a genre that was best represented by the awesome "Another World" and "Flashback".

Fantastic in its time, although it was a mixed genre game i still think of it as an action adventure.

Cinemaware made some great stuff (wings was my favourite). Antheads, the add-on/sequel was pretty good too.

I wonder if they will ever get round to remaking these for the PC, i know they remade defender of the crown.
