Endlich der #Podcast zu „It Came from the Desert!“ gehört… 🐜
Danke an @stayforever – ich hatte ihn mir bei der Hörerumfrage sehr gewünscht.
Ich hab’s damals leider nie in den Ameisenbau geschafft. Lag es an meinem Schul-Englisch? Womöglich.
Umso schöner, jetzt die Geschichte hinter dem Spiel (und „Them!“) zu kennen. Mein Retro-Herz ist glücklich.

We are now about as close to the release date of Cinemaware’s giant-ant video game “It Came from the Desert” (1989) as it was to the release date of “Them!” (1954).
#ItCameFromTheDesert (2017) 🐜
Rival motocross heroes and heroines, kegger parties in the desert, secret underground military bases...and of giant ants!

Impressions of #ItReturnedToTheDesert : this is very much in the style of an old adventure game out of #Cinemaware like #ItCameFromTheDesert. Set in the 80s, it captures that feel somewhat well without going over the top with it. I played for a while and only saw one type of mini game, which was turn based strategy. Mostly was visiting locations on a map and interacting with townspeople. If you liked It Came from the Desert on the Amiga/DOS it might be worth checking out. I was more a TGCD fan.
How boring my dad's superficiality on any Mario game I play for typical eternal elements of saga, for him the pearls are those he played on #C64 & #A500 (loved by Gen. Xs), many that he mentions are ports: #DrMario, #RainbowIsland, #BubbleBobble. I didn't grow up and be fan on those, I tried but nothing, but there're some that I like and that are also multiplatform: #Turrican, #ChaosEngine, #SoccerKid, #BubbleandSqueak, #SensibleSoccer, #JamesPond, #Zool, #Speedball, #ItCamefromtheDesert
To succeed, the player must visit many locations including mines, farms, a pub, an airfield, a local radio station, and others, to find evidence of the ants and then convince the local people and authorities of the impending doom. At the same time, the player must contain the ant infestation.
I loved playing this game. Very difficult. I have to admit I'd never be able to finish it.

The player assumes the role of Dr. Greg Bradley who arrives in Lizard Breath, California on June 1, 1951. He wants to study a meteor crash site in the nearby desert. Early in the game, he learns that the radiation from the meteor has enlarged a local ant population to an enormous size. He must work against the clock to stop the ants from taking over the world.

It Came from the Desert is an action-adventure game developed by Cinemaware for the #Amiga in 1989. The game is inspired by the very popular 1950s monster movies, especially the 1954 mutant-ant classic Them!

I wonder if anyone has ever completed #Antheads , aka #ItCameFromTheDesert II. I for sure never did, although I love the original game and although I have Antheads standing on my shelf.
