Shooting the antennas of giant fire Ants in the mission 'those' in Fallout 3 sure made me think back to the game 'It Came from the desert'...great game.. In that game ants were taking over a small town.

I don't think it's so much that Fallout 3 is ripping off It Came From the Desert, but that both games are inspired by B movies like Them! (a la the mission with Fire ants being called "Those!")

If Quentin Tarantino does it, he takes the scene near enough exactly as how it was done originally and adds nothing else to it.
