It Came from the Desert (1989)
Genres:Adventure, Strategy
Themes:Action, Horror, Thriller, Science fiction
Game modes:Single player
Story:It Came From the Desert is an action-adventure game that derives its inspiration from the many cult-horror B-Movies of the 50's and 60's, the 1954 film Them in particular. The player plays the part of Dr. Greg Bradley, a geologist and the newest resident in town. Eager to satisfy his scientific mind, Bradley sets out to examine the crash-site of a mysterious meteor, but what he finds is not at all what he had been 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 the player in a fairly set sequence of action sections. These include first-person bug shooting, scrolling overhead shooting, and a chase sequence.Show more

I played the game decades after its original release, but I still loved the genuine feeling of panic I got when faced with a giant ant, armed with a flimsy pistol!
It Came From The Desert is a gem in many ways, despite its quirks. The vague unease that permeates through the setting is what sold me on it, and the non-linear, multiple solutions approach to the gameplay is what kept me interested. It's hard to find similar experiences nowadays, and that's a shame in my opinion.
I stumbled across this game by accident but loved it immediately. It reminded me of the 50's Sci-Fi I loved so much and I enjoyed the multiple paths you could take with the story. Depending on your location or the time of day you could encounter situations you didn't have in the last playthrough, and there is a great feeling of unease as you progress......plus it's so much fun trying to escape from the hospital. I hope this game is given a shot on Gog, it's too awesome to be forgotten.
One of the games that is difficult to assign to a genre, because it consists of several genres. Admittedly, it's a lot of trial and error, but it's one of the earliest and most varied playable movies from the Amiga era. Cult

Resident Evil: Deadly SilenceResident Evil: Deadly Silence is an enhanced version of the original Resident Evil for the Nintendo DS port. It was made to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the series. Toshiaki Mori provided promotional artwork during the release of the game, including cover art.
Deadly Silence includes a "Classic Mode", the original game with minimal enhancements and touch-screen support, and a "Rebirth Mode", containing a greater number of enemies and a series of new puzzles that make use of the platform's specifications.
The game makes use of the dual screen display with the top screen used to display the map, along with the player's remaining ammunition and health (determined by the color of the background); while the bottom screen displays the main action, and can be switched to show the player's inventory. The DS version also includes updated play mechanics: the 180-degree turn introduced in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, along with the knife button and tactical reload from Resident Evil 4. The updated controls are applicable to both Classic and Rebirth modes. Dialog and loading screens can now be skipped. The live-action footage was still censored, even in the game's Japanese release; however, the scene showing Kenneth's decapitated head was kept.
In "Rebirth", new puzzles are added that use the system's touch-screen. "Knife Battle" sequences, viewed from a first-person perspective, are also added, in which the player must fend off incoming enemies by swinging the knife via the stylus. One particular puzzle requires the player to resuscitate an injured comrade by blowing into the built-in microphone. The player can also shake off enemies by using the touch screen, performing a melee attack.
The game also includes wireless LAN support for up to four players with two different multiplayer game modes. The first is a cooperative mode in which each player must help each other solve puzzles and escape the mansion together. The other is a competitive mode in which the objective is to get the highest score out of all the players by destroying the most monsters, with the tougher monsters being worth more points. There are three playable multiplayer stages and nine playable characters.Horror Survival

Resident Evil 1.5Resident Evil 1.5 / Biohazard 1.5 (also known as BIOHAZARD 2 PROTOTYPE) is the development name given to the first iteration of Resident Evil 2, which was scrapped in 1997.
As the game was approaching its May 1997 release date, the developers were dissatisfied with the resulting product. Rather than releasing a game they were unhappy with, the developers took the risk of cancelling the game and developing the game again from scratch.Horror Survival
