Body Harvest is an
action-adventure video game for the
Nintendo 64 video game console, developed by
DMA Design. It was intended to be a Nintendo 64
launch title, but was delayed due to its original publisher,
Nintendo, having issues with the game's violent themes,
[2] and eventual dropping of the title, leaving DMA to find a new publisher. It was eventually published by
Midway Games and
Gremlin Interactive in 1998.
In
Body Harvest, players assume the role of a genetically engineered soldier, Adam Drake, who must investigate and eliminate an alien attack force that has been returning once every 25 years to "harvest" the human population of Earth for their organic material. Being in possession of a
time travel device, Drake must return to the past and do battle in five areas over a 100-year period that covers
World War I-era
Greece,
Java in the 1940s, the
United States in the 1960s,
Siberia in the 1990s, and the near future (2016). The game is non-linear, as players can go anywhere and do anything within the limits of the game's boundaries.
