Review - Wikipedia
It Came From the Desert is a 1989 adventure/first-person shooter games by Cinemaware. It was originally released for the Amiga.
Like most of Cinemaware's titles, It Came From the Desert takes it's inspiration from Hollywood. This game is undoubtedly inspired by dozens of 1950s "B" movies, especially the 1954 mutant-ant classic "Them!", It Came From the Desert is one of Cinemaware's most innovative creations.
The rural town of Lizard Breath witnessed a meteor fall, and the player, the town's resident geologist, has to discover the source of some strange occurrences. Gameplay centers around the player choosing what they want to do by selecting an option on the multiple choice screens that pop up. There are several buildings in town, as well as farms, mines, an airport, and even a drive-in theater. Since time ticks away quickly at one minute per second of real time, quick decision is key to success.
Once the investigation begins, the player soon realizes there are large, mutant ants roaming around the outskirts of town. These ants are dangerous, and to survive the player must fight them with a handgun, an apparently infinite number of grenades, and bug spray used in airborne attack.
This game put the gamer in a "movie" years before it became popular in the Resident Evil series. It also featured "stealth" gameplay and a first person shooter part that appeared in this game years before Doom (however, without scenery animation). The game also featured an engaging soundtrack.
It Came From the Desert was followed by a sequel Antheads in 1990.
