Wasteland: The Greatest Computer Role-Playing Game of All Time
|
This page is my small tribute to the game Wasteland from Interplay and Electronic Arts.

Brutorz Bill and I were loving Gamma World, and griping about there being no
decent computer games covering the post-apocalyptic setting. Then, one day in
1986, Wasteland appeared on the shelves of the Software, Etc at the Raleigh Springs mall.
I had never heard of it, but saw it had a "Bard's Tale" look and feel to it. After reading
the box, I bought it and we immediately went home and spent way too much time on my Commodore 64
slugging it out with crazed mutants.
Wasteland was ported to the IBM platform around 1988, where I purchased it
again. You used to be able to get the game for the PC on
Interplay's 10 Year Anthology CD

Back Of The Box

Civilization's Last Stand
Mutants. Again. Even more than there were the last time; they seem to
materialize out of the very grains of the radioactive desert sand. Venemous
yellow eyes. The black gunmetal glint of Uzi's as they close in for the kill.
There's nowhere to run, and nothing to rely on but your MAC 17 machine gun.
What a way to save the human race.
