It Came from the Desert (1992)
Genres:Shooter
Themes:Action
Story:It Came from the Desert is an unreleased Sega Mega Drive game developed by Cinemaware, and was due to be published by Electronic Arts in 1992. Though it shares a similar intro, it is in fact an entirely different game from other versions of It Came from the Desert released for the IBM PC, Amiga and TurboGrafx-CD, being a top-down action game rather than a point and click adventure.
According to programmer Matthew Harmon (brought in from New World Computing), the game was "99.99%" complete before cancellation, citing a rare bug which caused the game to crash as the reason the game was not complete. He also suggests that the reason the game was axed was due to EA's policy to concentrate more on sports titles (though it quickly backed away from this strategy). The game was shown at the Winter CES 1992. Cinemaware released the "99.99%" finished prototype ROM of the game as freeware on 2001-12-17.Show more

Remember I had to upgrade my Amiga to 1GB Ram to play this, the 500 mb module was about £80 and I had to wiggle it to get it to work. Although not worth an 80 quid upgrade the game was pretty funny. The mechanics where are over the place, you had no clue what you where doing and it had big ants. Kinda a dumbed down sim game with FPS elements, various different mini games, and ant management so you can kill them. The scenes where random, so you never really got the same game twice. I think this game came on a bunch of disks that needed to be swapped constantly. The graphics are some of the best of the time and the story is completely bonkers. It feels like your playing a "B" movie. Cinemaware made games with tins if passion and humor. I'm sure tons of people ei will enjoy this very much perhaps as a bundle with WINGS which was also excellent. Crosses fingers.
