* Reptilia in ''[[Bug (Video Game)|Bug]]!'', an American desert filled with cacti, [[Scary Scorpions|scorpions]], ''literal'' [[Strong Ants|army ants]] that fired grenades, cowboy snakes, green chameleons ([[Fridge Logic|don't ask]]), and the ever-annoying [[Invincible Minor Minion]] [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent|horned lizards]].

* This is the theme of two levels in ''[[Castle Crashers (Video Game)|Castle Crashers]]''. Here you find scorpions, men wearing turbans, men wearing weird chainmail helmets, a giraffe animal orb as well as the shovel item, some aliens (sure, why not?) and a giant sandcastle. You spend the last part of the desert area playing volleyball with the badguys, which makes you wonder if the desert is both a desert and a beach.

** ''[[The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]'' has the Gerudo Desert (luckily, no quicksand or mazes here) followed by the Arbiter's Grounds, a sand-filled [[Temple of Doom]] with many quicksand pits that must be waded through, other times crossed with the magnetic Spinner. Switches or objects are sometimes buried in the sand as well, requiring you to dig them out in wolf form.

* ''[[Little Big Adventure]]'''s Desert Island may not fully fit this trope, but it is still interesting, especially in the second game. Here we got: [[Qurac|Arabian]]-themed buildings, a camel, a wizard on a flying carpet, a [[Temple of Doom]]... and homicidal moving cacti (really).
