Want to try "It Came From The Desert!"

Seen this game mentioned numerous times on the forum but I don't know much about it since I've never actually played it. Haven't used WinUAE in some time and I'm thinking I may want to play this game. Can those who have played it tell me if it's worth it or not, what the game is like, and if I'll need a 1.3 or a 3.1 config to play it.

ICFTD is a good action adventure with a tight atmosphere, caused by the amazing music. Give it a try, here are some reviews.

Use a 1.3 config for the game.

The game's highly replayable, it's a lot of fun. Cinemaware hit balls out of the park, Wings is a masterpiece of it's own as well.

Couldn't agree more, I love Cinemaware games

Especially:

... Defender of the Crown
... It Came From the Desert
... Rocket Ranger
... The Three Stoogers
... TV Sports Basketball
... TV Sports Football
... Wings
