The arcade segments in It Came From The Desert are some of the most awful I have ever seen. Even homebrew stuff that I made years ago was better.

Indeed, though I like the 'shoot the ants off the townfolk' game.  For me, the delicious cheese in the rest of the game keeps it from falling all the way to the bottom o' the barrel.

I like the crosshairs-style one where ants are chewing the flesh off screaming people.  The overhead parts aren't too terrible, either.  I must admit that the side-scrolling stuff is bad, though it becomes more tolerable once you earn that "special move" (which happens pretty early in the game, thank goodness).

Turrican is only bad if you're already used to the Amiga original. If you didn't play that first, Turrican rocks on the TG.

It's cool man....I liked the TG Turrican too.  :oops: *ducks*

Yeah the side-scrolling parts controlled like ass, kind of had a Prince of Persia feel to the controls. Admittedly, the controls for the sidescrolling sections of the Legend of Xanadu games weren't very tuned either, but they were so damn cool anways.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).
