This game is great! I remember when it was released, I was stuck playing this game for Months! It has such a great story and style that I still play it for days...

This game is on my list of greatest games ever!

They should remake the game for newer computers so that everyone could enjoy this classic...

//Cheers

yeah, i expected a better ending to the game though. Either way though, it's a great game, even by today's standards.

I think Cinemaware didn't last long enough anymore to port it anywhere. Which maybe is a good reason for this one to be so obscure.

I haven't. The Steam reviews seem okay-ish

Nope! It took a long time! I once was scarfing down a bowl of cereal and looked down to see it was full of ants. Really gross!

That cover is super confusing to me. I thought it was like a data disk expansion for It Came From The Desert 2 but no, it's an expansion for It Came From the Desert 1.

Yes, the whole publication strategy is weird. You need the original game to build bootable disks, so it's not standalone. Yet, they put a 2 in the title.

The cover answers that question, doesn't it? ;)
