It came from the 1950s! Terror straight out of the Atomic Age explodes onto your computer screen in this homage to "So bad it's bad" creature flicks such as The Beast of Yucca Flats and Eegah. Your trip down Route 66 quickly turns into a nightmare as local tales of a deadly race of radioactive beast men turn out to be more fact than myth! Match wits with the evil Dr. Arcturis as you race to put a stop to his dastardly experiments. Will you have what it takes to stop Earth from falling into the fiendish clutches of the saucer men from outer space? The choice is yours in "Terror of the Atomic Desert". Solve puzzles, evade monsters and match wits with local characters as the choices you make will lead to one of many possible endings.
