Pioneer the post-apocalyptic open world.

Wasteland 1 - The Original Classic, a post-apocalyptic open world full of awe and danger, as imagined in a 1988 RPG, is available for only $5.99 on GOG.com

They say that ever since the nuclear holocaust, America is no longer a place for heroes. They say, that it is no longer the land of the free. Know, that they've been lying to you. In the atomic wasteland of the year 2087, there is still room for bravery, justice, and order. There are men and women standing guard to what is left of civilized society, facing villains, mutants, bandits, and monsters on daily basis. When everyone else just gave up, they roam the ruins of our nation's sinful past, and do the impossible to bring law to the badlands. They are the Desert Rangers, and this is their story.

Back in 1988 Wasteland 1 - The Original Classic (or just Wasteland back then) took the fresh memory of living in constant fear during the Cold War, reached for the aesthetics of the Mad Max movies, added solid cRPG mechanics, and offered gamers an experience that would soon inspire a whole gaming sub-genre. Long before Mr. Ron Perlman announced to the world that "war never changes" in the iconic opening sequence to Fallout, the post-apocalyptic grim future was a vision already present and persistent in the minds of gamers. That was mostly because of Wasteland. The open-ended free-roam gameplay, paired with incredibly rich and suggestive setting made a lasting impression on everyone who dared to visit the nuclear desert. With challenging difficulty level and great variety of NPCs, quests, and locations, this fantastic title is still a blast to play!

Do you remember playing this title, or maybe you'd like to see how the gaming post-apo craze has begun? Pick the slightly updated version of Wasteland 1 - The Original Classic, for only $5.99, on GOG.com.
You forgot the Linux version again, silly billys.

It's been a while since I played it, but you definitely have the time before Wasteland 2 comes out.

Fever_Discordia: Hey, I just noticed, on the wishlist, that unlike Torment: Tides of Numenera and Project Eternity, Wasteland 2 ISN'T marked as 'in Progress' - I trust that's just an oversight....
It's officially confirmed that Age of Wonders 3 will be released here and yet it's not marked as "in progress" so I guess it might be the same with Wasteland 2.

I don't remember exactly how long it is, but I know it's a minimum of 10 hours or so, or at least it was when you had to look up the paragraphs manually.

Smannesman: Nice release for preservations sake, but a bit too 'classic' for me.
Might pick it up during a sale though.
My thoughts exactly.

Merchito: Is combat turn-based? And what means the slow/fast indicator in combat?
Yes. It's the speed in which the combat log text scrolls.

Wishlisted until I reduce my backlog a bit.
Was this the same makers as "Tass Times in Tune Town"? The interface looks identical. Wish listed for now, maybe I'll get it during a holiday sale or something.

jamesbuc: Really nice to see this here but the price is a little... off-kilter and pricey so to speak, especially for this. It just doesnt feel value for money in any sense sadly :(

Still... Wishlisted for now.
You, Sir, obviously are not familiar with this game and its place in gaming history. I suggest you start with the Wikipedia article, then move on to the video review, and then check out some of the "Let's Play" videos on YouTube. After enlightening yourself you will (hopefully) begin to understand what a bargain it is to be able to buy this game for twice what GOG is asking for it.

Nice to see this here, a true good old game as folks have said. Since it's debuting at full price I'll wishlist for now, since I suspect an Xmas sale is in the works. Not that that I think the base price is too much, but rather it's hard to justify adding to the backlog at the moment without the incentive of a discount.

deonast: Cool I backed number 2 so I have a choice of GOG or Steam to redeem for this one as a bonus. No choice really DRM free all the way.
Steam copy is DRM free and will include a Linux version, which won't be available on GOG. (You won't get a DRM-free installer on Steam, but you can back up the game folder without problem.)
The game is definitely the type which doesn't LOOK like much, even for 1988 the graphics weren't great, but it's only when you start getting into the gameplay and basically learn all the keyboard commands (don't use the mouse, it makes the game lock up) that you learn how good it really is

Steam and DRM-free in the same sentence is just wrong. Steam IS the DRM here; what you mean is that there is no ADDITIONAL DRM besides Steam.
