MagicEngine

Just like to say I love Magic Engine ,and I especially like the option of being able to use a game pad.

Now on to my question, does anyone know of any cheat codes for “It came from the desert”. I keep getting the crap atomic bomb ending and I am hell bent to get to the queen! This game was a pain in my ass as a kid and I do not want it to kick my ass as an adult. Any information will be greatly appreciated Thank you in advance

Regards

I don't know of any cheat codes for the game but I can give you some pointers on getting through the game...

On day 2 in the evening, go to the guy who gives you Strength (in Borax, I believe) to get the "Leaping Devastator", a forward flip-jump. This will help you kick ass in the tunnels easier.

Clear the tunnels to the fire levels, and get as low as possible until you find the force field. The next time you talk to the doc, he'll tell you about the "transponders". To get the transponders, you need to successfully fight in three of those games where you shoot the ants off of the people. After you do this game three times, the force field will be deactivated and you can, if your combat skill (and luck) in the tunnels is good enough, get through the final door and fight the Queen. If you die while in the final battle, then don't worry because the next time you enter the tunnels, it'll take you straight back to the final battle. The fight is a cheap one too, you really gotta get down the pattern or you'll lose every time.

But basically, unless you can get to the lowest level of the tunnels, you have no chance of finishing the game properly.

Shit! Thank you for the help!

I never knew about the "Leaping Devastator" forward jump, I always thought it was odd that you could back flip and not forward flip . I am going to have to give this a try right away! Thank you again for the great tip.

Hey, Thanks from me too. I've had this game for a while, and I've played it off and on, but I never have been able to finish it. I guess I'll have to take it out again! Cool!
