A pretty famous Cinemaware title which was originally released on the Amiga, PC, Megadrive amongst others – but was also mentioned as having a C64 conversion in the works according to C&VG.
The game itself was inspired by many 1950’s B movies and was very well received. The mention of a C64 version came in a preview within a July 1989 issue of C&VG and was flagged up by Ross Sillifant.
This was from the same time that Rocket Ranger was also converted, so its entirely possible that a C64 version was on the cards – but nothing really more was heard apart from this one mention.
So its very much early days and we need to dig up as much as we can on it. Can anyone find an advert with the C64 specified? Or maybe you worked on the game?
More soon we hope!

Better late than never… I don’t recall seeing anything or hearing any discussions about a C64 version of It Came From The Desert when I was at Mirrorsoft.
