This was a great action adventure game when it was released in 1989, and it was based on the 1950s horror flick called "Them". It was about giant ants, and the U.S. army battling them. It is very similar to this game.
The game format is isometric, so you can get a wider view of the world than a side scrolling 2d game. It was due to the limitation of technology at the time, the isometric view gave you 3d sense of the world.
In the game, you're a scientist, and you were brought there to investigate some strange occurrences. As you continue your investigations, you discover giant ants. You have to convince the town major with the evidence you collected.
The game setting is in a small desert town somewhere in California, and you interact with the inhabitants of the town. They give hints on where to go.
I played this game 25 years ago, and I spent a lot of time playing this game when I was a kid. I wasn't very used to computer games, because I grew up playing Nintendo, Atari, and other console systems. One thing I noticed about computer games was that, it was less restrictive. The difference would be like a free range farm vs. being fenced in on a farm. The game has a very free environment, you can interact with people, go where ever you want, do whatever you want, but the game converges to the same ending.
