It Came from the Desert

Description

It Came From the Desert is a action/adventure game that gets all its inspiration from the many cult horror B-Movies of the 50's and 60's. You play the part of Dr. Greg Bradley, a geologist and the new guy in town. Eager to satisfy your scientific mind you set out to examine the crash-site of a mysterious meteor, but what you find is not what you were looking for.

The game takes place all over Lizard Breath, and there are several different types of action / interaction. The adventure part of the game is very linear, guiding you on to a fairly set sequence of action sections. These include first-person bug shooting, scrolling overhead shooting, and a racing chase.
