It´s never too late: 24 years after its original planned release, “It Came From the Desert™: The Action Game – Extended Cut” finally arrives for the original Sega Mega Drive/Genesis platform!!!

Yes, that’s correct! No, you don’t have to re-read that sentence! It´s a real, physical release only available for Sega Genesis/Megadrive fans! Cinemaware is proud to be collaborating together with the experts at WaterMelon (who were responsible for the great title PierSolar™) to bring you this nearly-lost cult classic!

This limited-edition version will include:

• Case with slipcover
• Manual
• Cartridge (yes, a real cartridge!)
• Mini-poster

Over 10 years ago, we released the original game’s ROM as a free download for emulation fans. However, in “It Came From the Desert: The Action Game – Extended Cut”,brand-new in-game material will also now be featured in this exclusive, limited-edition version:

• New intro-sequence
• New cutscenes
• New ending sequence
• Additional gameplay elements

“It Came From the Desert: The Action Game – Extended Cut” is the action-based offshoot to the award-winning Amiga classic “It Came From the Desert”. You play the role of a young hero that picks up different kinds of weapons to save his girlfriend and his hometown of Lizard Breath, which is again the setting of a mysterious giant ant invasion years after the events of the original game.

Pre-Order is planned for early 2015 and you can register for our newsletter athttp://desert.cinemaware.com to be the first one to know about further updates and when pre-ordering starts.
