+MrtehP Yeah, i've had bad dreams with this, Exmortis, and Harvester (going through the 'lodge') playing in the background. I think the worst one dream-wise was the Harvester (fav lp) one while going through oxy withdrawals...jesus christ on a dirtbike dont do that.
This video came out the day my high school band was in Chicago for the Thanksgiving day parade. For me it's cozy, mostly because of RP's commentary. Life was simple.
So I made a interesting discovery about Eight years after this video was released, there is infact a bad ending to this game, If you are killed by the Ant Queen in the final battle it does trigger a bad ending, Buzz Lincoln manages to crawl out of the cave and pass out, he awakens realizing that he had failed and proceeds to search for his motorcycle, It then cuts to a shot of the desert, The Ant Queen declares victory as a dozen fledgling ant queens flutter out into the night to start nests elsewhere in the world, Lovelock is then destroyed by the ants H-Bomb in a pixelated mushroom cloud. Cool Man, the radio DJ after a moment of silence opens up the phone lines on his program, however nobody answers.. He then plays Sea of Love declaring it was "Fun while it lasted." we are then greeted by a THE END...? title card before cutting to the black and white credits like in the good ending.
I gotta say, at 1:19:24 the sax player sounded pretty good (for the first time!) playing that blues scale. Immediately after that he plays what amounts to going online with a dial-up modem
I was planning to record the rest of the scenes and upload them all in a seperate video, but I never got around to it. Also, the game can be finished quite a bit faster (you can access the queen earlier than I did), but I wanted to show as much as I could (and being a longplay without commentary, I figured people could fast forward past the minigames when they become incredibly repetitive!).
Out of a bizarre sense of curiosity, I wanted to find out what the questions actually DO. It turns out this game is actually somewhat non-linear - the kind where if you fail to do certain things by certain times you can't win the game. I still have no idea what the saxophone guy's questions do.
I like the notion that Buzz refers to the ants as sizes relative to automobiles. I love it even more that the professor flips out each time he hears it, like he understands. "I saw them, they were the size of Buicks!" "Buicks? Oh this is bad!" "This time, they were the size of Plymouths!" "Plymouths?! Dear...god..."
The first 30 minutes I thought this was hilarious. The second 30 minutes I was having reservations. The last 30 minutes, being slowly consumed by ants was starting to look like a great alternative to watching this game.
*Starts video* Hmm, I wonder why I thought this was so funny? "ANTS, BUZZ. THEY MAKE SLAVES BUILD THEIR TUNNELS, AND THEY CAN FLY ACROSS THE OCEAN!" *Proceeds to go talk to jazz man, then meets up with Mr. Flintstone* Ah, that was it.
this game actually has some un-used voice clips here are a few 1. "The size of Honda Civics" 2. "The size of Dodge Vipers" 3. "The size of Jeep Ranglers" 4. "The size of Mike Dawsons"
30:59 Because the graphics are so horrid, I only just realized that this jacked roidmonger has been living in the burnt out ruins of some old building in the desert. It kind of makes the whole thing that much more hilarious.
Hawl and Sera The Shapeshifting Cyber Spider Tigress He said he's not "a gay". he probably just likes the male form in a professional wrestling sorta way. Totally looks gay from the outside, but probably isn't.
For your science: Ants actually do fly- mainly during propagation phases in spring and early summer. A queen will begin spawning male ants with wings, these male ants leave the nest and fly around looking for a prospective neonate queen to begin a new hive.
to this day i still laugh at slowbeef's scat pornography joke at 11:20 if only because it's such an egregious and weird comment that has nothing to do with what's going on
"Stop Motion Animation and Effects by the Chiodo Brothers" Fun fact: the Chiodo brothers who worked on this are the same guys who did (and directed) Killer Klowns from Outer Space.
"Oh shit, boss, I accidentally re-sorted all the FMV files alphabetically, and now I can't remember the correct order!" "But we're shipping tomorrow! Fuck it, just send it out as is. No one will know the difference."
I was watching Donnie Brasco today, and I thought, "Holy Shit does the guy who plays Sonny Red ever remind me of the sheriff from this game". I looked it up and sure enough Robert Miano was the same guy. Now whenever I watch the part where he gets shot in the head in the basement, I'll be expecting him to wake up, asking Michael Madsen if he's got any Asprin.
It Came From The Desert on the Amiga is easily one of my favorite Amiga games. It's like a weird mix of a point and click Adventure game and an over the top action game. This one on the other hand. Well, you know.
Anybody watch Agents of Shield? Remember the high ranking female SHIELD agent antagonist, Carla Talbot? That's Raquel Gardner. She plays Prissy in It Came from the Desert.
Fun fact: Borax really IS a cleaning supply! It's used as a solvent, for deep cleaning stuff like grout. ...okay, it's not exactly a fun fact, but considering this game's subject matter...
This game is the perfect example of a higher technology at the time taking priority or a consistant product. Also Black Free-Jazz saxophone players in wheelchiars.
Agreed! I never was a fan of steel guitars, lap guitars or things like it... But that slide guitar playing was fucking rad. It's got a great melody going on, and the singer really isn't TERRIBLE... However, the lyrics fucking suck.
@@BradsGonnaPlay Shit bruh, I still come back from time to time. I found retsupurae in my formative years, so I developed a fondness for these videos. I think I’ve seen every video they’ve produced, and I still love them dearly.
I don't know how relevant this information is to anyone, but Koolman is played by Joe Lala, who was also Kun Lan in killer7. I feel like that explains a lot.
In all serious though, Thanks Slowbeef and Diabetus. You guys always make me laugh and smile, which is something I need especially now. You guys are the fucking best.

Try darkseed 2 or harvester

fun fact: the saxophone guy is played by Hugh Dane, who later played Hank on The Office. this was his first acting role.

8 years on and i can't decide whether or not this game is cozy or violently uncomfortable.
The Amiga version is way cozy. This is shit.
This video came out the day my high school band was in Chicago for the Thanksgiving day parade. For me it's cozy, mostly because of RP's commentary. Life was simple.
its a weird mix of both
Incredibly cozy

This comment sounds like a kid with a wild imagination making shit up about their favorite videogame, but it's real.
I think "It Came From the Desert" refers to the peyote that the game designers were taking as they created this abomination.
This is the worst of the New Vegas DLCs.
"Night Trap:New Vegas."
no, that's still honest hearts.
You misspelled Lonesome Road.
I fucking wish, somebody go make that, I still play New Vegas
@@thomasjenkins7506 That's a funny way of spelling Dead Money.
So I just had a crazy revelation - the guy who plays the Sheriff in this version of It Came From the Desert plays Zoltan in Phantasmagoria as well.
Diabetus' genuine, "What the fuck...?" at 16:07 is the best part of this video. By far.
Rewatching this is a Thanksgiving tradition for me. Happy Thanksgiving!
These videos still hold up after all these years, comedy just comes natural to you two.
This was always one of my rop retsu episode. Rewatching in 2025!
Same here!
I still don't comprehend it!

Fantasy Girl (with the bob cut) was played by Musetta Vander, who went on to play Sindel in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.
The "TOO BAD YOU..... WILL DIE" lady? Checks out
That guy with the saxophone is my favorite character.
Watching this while cooking Thanksgiving dinner. Beats the parade any day!
It made my day when I thought "Ants vs. Zombies" at the same time Slowbeef said it.
I was planning to record the rest of the scenes and upload them all in a seperate video, but I never got around to it.
Also, the game can be finished quite a bit faster (you can access the queen earlier than I did), but I wanted to show as much as I could (and being a longplay without commentary, I figured people could fast forward past the minigames when they become incredibly repetitive!).
This game is a gem from the past. Thank you for providing gameplay footage of something truly unique, and, in its own 80s-campy way, artistic!
Out of a bizarre sense of curiosity, I wanted to find out what the questions actually DO.

"I saw them, they were the size of Buicks!"
"Buicks? Oh this is bad!"
"This time, they were the size of Plymouths!"
"Plymouths?! Dear...god..."
It amused me more that they kept changing the brand of car every time Buzz made the analogy like the game was trying to make it a running gag. Cute.
I distinctly heard him say June Bug
Oh, here it is, the game where everyone you meet yells at, heckles, and insults you for an hour and a half straight
I thought that was Dark Seed II.
43:28 "Sounds like you're running 33 mm jets with a hot plugs and a white brothers bath salts" is what I hear every time
This might be one of my favourite Wrongpuraes. It's just so crazy!
23:00 careful, guys, we can only carry 200 pounds of ant meat on our wagon.
imagine if you saw someone shooting point blank about 50 times at another person lying on the ground while they're being swarmed with ants
"Work the tunnels, work 'em hard!"
I almost choked on my turkey.
The walking animation in the underground area while you're shooting reminds me of Johnny Cage's backstep in Mortal Kombat: The Journey Begins.
Good to know that guy can play his saxophone after he's done murdering it.
So that's what Santa Claus does the other 364 days of the year.
Is Slowbeef like one out of five Americans that actually had a Turbo Graphix CD as a kid?
one of like 40 more likely

That saxophone shit had me in stitches...AND I DON'T KNOW WHY!!!
Hilarious commentary on an hilarious game. Thanks guys.
Alas, the dev of this game, Kenneth Melville has passed away on the first of February.
Ah man....
Christ, this game has a worse cutscene to gameplay ratio than an MGS title.
+Lupin Mallory And it doesnt even have moo-ing bipedal robots with surprisingly shapely legs

scumlander *shrugs* Sounds like he's bi and in denial, but, eh none of my bussiness
Alternate title: "I have no retort, and I must scream."
I can't tell if the sax player is actually awful or if it's just terrible audio quality. Or maybe it's both.
My clarinet could play better jazz than that - when it was broken.
TailsFiragaLP pretty sure he's somebody's cousin getting a "hook up"
He gets taken over by ants and he actually starts playing something really awesome like Coltrane style music.
I come home after thanksgiving and see a new hour and half long retsupurae.
Christmas did come early.
Sometimes I feel like what I write or draw is crap.
But sometimes stuff like these remind me, "Its not as bad as this."
It's like the people who owned the "It Came form the Desert" IP saw "Tremors" and were like "yeah let's do that."
i think this is the best wrongpurae by an enormous margin
To think a group of real people programmed this and thought it was worthy of selling to the public.
Can we please just discuss how BOTH of then are his step-parents?
The story alludes to the fact that Buzz was adopted, I guess? Though they would just be his parents and not step parents.
Chipmunky but they hate him for some reason even though they adopted him.

How do we know you aren't one of them, trying to quell suspicions of a giant ant uprising? You don't fool me.
I've watched this wrongpurae 3 times since it's initial upload. I have no clue what this game is about.
I'm pretty sure the game makers and writers were also confused.

After seeing all this, I'm convinced "Antdroid" wasn't a typo.
slowbeef saying "Is he molestin' you?!" fucking killed me.
The radio DJ's "suave voice" has that same try-too-hard quality as both the Death Trap guy's and Psycho Killer's murderer's "menacing voice".
"The ant mind has taken human prisoners, and is using them as living projectors to create his army of android zombies."
wut
I had no idea that Diabetus had released his autobiography on the Turbografx.
And thanks to this game, I understood the true meaning of Thanksgiving.
The poor old guy who played Doc actually had a worse career. He doesn't even have an IMDB profile.

This will take the place of the long missed Mystery Science Theater 3000 Turkey Day Marathon on the SciFi Channel (RIP SciFi).
Am I seriously the only one who's really, really creeped out by those sequences where people get eaten alive by ants?
That ending certainly Came From Nowhere....

I swear, the MC sounds like Cam Clarke and the construction worker like sounds like Paul Eiding.
I dont know why. The crappy production makes the atmosphere sort of surreal and creepy at points.
It definitely gives the game a David Lynch vibe that it wasn't going for.
The song is better than most. I like it.
"They only got me eight colors to work with."
I 100% expected one of them to follow that up with "And this is one of them."
When Buzz looks at his watch his arm gets ported to MS Paint.
"OUR DEATH LIST!!! *SCREECH*"
That was the best thing ever.
Buzz is Mike Dawson's son (somehow...) and the radio guy is the spirit of Jack!
