It Came From the Desert, Amiga - Part 5 - Overlooked Oldies
31It Came From the Desert is a sort of detective style game inspired by horror B-movies where you play a geologist who investigates some strange meteorites that have something to do with impossibly mutated ants. There are action sequences mixed in with the dialogue and gathering of clues and evidence.
I stumble a bit through this one since I went in without much knowledge of what to expect. I was thinking it was more of an actiony shooter thingy, but I enjoyed it and will probably continue it later.
It's quite different from most games I've played. Another example of a retro game that doesn't fit into any pigeon holes.
