It Came from the Desert is a cancelled Sega Genesis game developed by Cinemaware and due to be published by Electronic Arts. The main character's a teenager named Buzz Lincoln who tries to stop the ant invasion in the town of Lovelock. The gameplay involves walking through the various places throughout the desert, occasionally coming back to Lovelock to talk with people for valuable items/information. Buzz is armed with a flamethrower by default, but visiting the Doc lets him craft new weapons to better combat the ant menace.The "99.99% complete" prototype of the game was released as freeware in 2001. The developers have teamed up with WaterMelon (a 21st-century Genesis developer) to make an Extended Cut version of the game with new content, but that appears stuck in Development Hell.

Video Game Flamethrowers Suck: Averted. The flamethrower is the weakest weapon, but it can deal good damage quickly and has a decent range. You can craft a stronger version of it later.

Good News, Bad News: Doc gives Buzz some good and bad news near the end. While he has found a nest at a dormant volcano, which is holding several human prisoners (including Buzz's dad), the ant activity disturbs the core so much the volcano's no longer dormant.

Cassandra Truth: Major Williams refuses to let the military help with the ant infestation until General Sherman gives him orders to do so. When Buzz tells him that he's seemingly been killed by ants and the clone has been giving orders this whole time, Williams just assumes that the desert heat must be getting to him.
