  • It Came from the Desert is a 1989 action-adventure game by Cinemaware. It was originally released for the Amiga, but later ported to MS-DOS, as well as released in distinctly different forms to consoles. The TurboGrafx-16 release is distinctly different from the computer versions, in terms of gameplay and presentation. An expansion set Antheads: It Came from the Desert II was released in 1990. The game is inspired by dozens of 1950s monster movies especially the 1954 mutant-ant classic Them!, with the title referencing the 1953 horror film, It Came from Outer Space. The game is a non-linear combination of dialogue boxes and several types of action scenes, typical of contemporary Cinemaware releases. (en)
  • It Came from the Desert est un jeu vidéo développé par la société américaine Cinemaware, sorti en 1989 sur Amiga. Il a eu une suite, Antheads: It Came from the Desert II, en 1990. Le jeu original a été adapté sur PC en 1991 et a connu une nouvelle incarnation sur PC Engine CD en 1992. Il existe également un prototype sur Mega Drive qui prend la forme d'un jeu d'action. Le jeu a été conçu par David Riordan. Il s'inspire des séries B fantastiques des années 1950, dans la veine Des monstres attaquent la ville. Le joueur incarne le géologue Greg Bradley, installé depuis peu dans la bourgade de Lizard Breath, au cœur d'un désert californien, qui va découvrir qu'une colonie de fourmis géantes menace d'envahir la ville. Il a quinze jours pour prouver l'existence des créatures, coordonner les opérations visant à empêcher l'invasion et détruire la reine des fourmis. (fr)
  • It Came from the Desert (lett. "venne dal deserto") è un videogioco sviluppato dalla Cinemaware nel 1989 per Amiga e in seguito convertito per MS-DOS e TurboGrafx 16. Erano previste, ma non uscirono, una versione Atari ST e una Sega Mega Drive; quest'ultima esiste come prototipo ed è un gioco d'azione piuttosto differente. Come molti altri titoli Cinemaware It Came from the Desert ha uno stile hollywoodiano, con utilizzo di intermezzi animati e una grafica di alto livello, caratteristiche non comuni all'epoca. Il videogioco è ispirato a molti film di serie B degli anni cinquanta che sfruttano l'idea delle radiazioni e del nucleare per generare mostruose creature mutanti. Il gioco viene considerato uno dei migliori e dei più innovativi titoli Cinemaware, avendo vinto molti riconoscimenti dalle riviste del settore. (it)
