This uninspired supposed sequel to Wasteland was made by Electronic Arts
designers, unlike Wasteland, which was made by Interplay designers and merely
distributed by Electronic Arts.
The game is set in post-apocalyptic Florida. Nuclear strikes and earthquakes
have cut Florida off from the mainland. This island of Voodoo, Werewolves,
Mutants, BeachCombers, Crime Lords, and Killer Clowns is your playground.
The game is a mere shadow of Wasteland. The game engine is not the same one
used in the venerable classic. Fountain of Dreams employs only a pitiful subset
of the options allowed in Wasteland. The island is a much smaller adventuring
area than the vast deserts of Wasteland.
Bottom Line: EA tried to use their own designers to capitalize on the
popularity of Wasteland and they produced a flop that devastated hordes of
Wasteland fans begging for a sequel.
