About Wasteland 1 - The Original Classic

✦ AI summary

Lead a squad of Desert Rangers across a radioactive wasteland ravaged by mutants and raiders, investigating a sinister threat while your choices reshape the world around you. This legendary 1988 post-apocalyptic RPG pioneered reactive storytelling and persistent consequences, now remastered with optional modern features like voice-over and updated visuals while preserving the classic experience.

For the first time in over 20 years, we are heralding the return of a much loved piece of gaming history with the classic RPG, Wasteland!

Mutants. Again. Even more than there were last time: they seem to materialize out of the very grains of the radioactive desert sand. Venomous yellow eyes. The black gunmetal glint of Uzis 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.

The year is 2087, eighty-nine years after an all out nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union turned vast swaths of the Earth into a hellish wasteland where survival is a daily struggle against thirst, hunger, radiation sickness, ravaging raiders, and mutants - always mutants. You are a Desert Ranger, one of a band of stalwart lawmen born from the remnants of a U.S. Army detachment who survived the nuclear holocaust by holing up in a maximum security prison. You may wear ragtag uniforms and carry make-shift weapons, but the Desert Rangers are the only law left in what was once the American southwest.

Now something more secretive and sinister than the usual roving bands of mutants and raiders is menacing humanity, and it's your job to investigate. Recruit the help you need, follow any leads you find, but beware. The wasteland is lawless desert and a lonely place, and the choices you make will shape the world around you. Better choose wisely. Your life depends on it.

[h1]Hostile[/h1] [i]There will be a TL;DR at the end.[/i] ~ These days eating at a restaurant is different: you remember the service more than the food. My grandparents would sometimes pride themselves of finding hole-in-the-wall, hell-on-earth locales that secretly had some of the best eats of their lives. The zeitgeist has certainly changed since their day. You can almost picture it. Walk into an establishment, smell the food - it’s great. The hostess is a total jerk and lets you find your own seat after using choice words for an introduction. No menus, place is an unclean mess. You’re left waiting for hours, and in spite of ordering drinks everyone is given water. Appetizers are served cold, but once you dig in - the food is mind-blowingly amazing. The waiter is an absolute jerk and hates you, they aren't shy about it either - you think the only reason drinks were eventually served was because they were poisoned. They don’t care if you tip - as a matter of fact they are making sure you have every reason not to, but for now you’re trying to close your eyes and enjoy the savory meats, the juicy veggies, and the perfectly matched wine. It’s the worst service you’ve …

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
