A bit too faithful to the original!

When they decided to remaster this classic they really ment just remaster the graphics. Except for the graphics, there is really no improvements. Not even the limitations of the original, like several characters looking exactly the same, is improved. And the story? Better have a godo imagination because just like the original, you are given minimal information about the story. It's up to you to fill in the gaps and imagine the characters motivations and what makes them do what they do, or how somethings are connected. The game also sometimes force you into doing horrible things, like killing children and even infants, just to be edgy. This can also be a rather hard game sometimes. If you have good imagination and are forgiving to all the jank, or want to play the first game in the series (since Wasteland 2 is a direct sequel), then give it a try... if it's on sale. But you might just as well play the original. It's unfortunate because this could have been really good.

French version dosen't even work

I tryied to play in French I even didn't succeed to create a new character. Eventually I decided to switch to English and the character creation worked! But still the very poor UI is very painful. And between mouse or keyboard to do some choices many bugs still occured. IMHO that """remastered""" version doesn't worth 15€ at all.....I've asked a refound...

What a fantastic game

Although I am a fan of post nuclear holocaust type games, and have played all the Fallout series, until I played this I didn't realize how much every game that came after owes to this. Fantastic story, fun gameplay, and I relished every moment playing it, and was a bit sorry when I was done. Played this, played all the fallouts, played wasteland 2 . . . guess I'll haver to buy wasteland 3 to satify the monkey on my back! No idea why it is getting bad reviews, I guess some don't realize how revolutionary this was for it's time. I'll be playing it again, I can tell you that.

Nostalgia Value

I bought this game back in the 80s when it first came out and spent a lot of time with my friends sitting around a Commodore 128 working our way through the various storylines. For those who have played this before, you will understand when I say that we spent a lot of time on the Scorpitron. I hope younger players might be willing to give this a chance. It demands a lot of patience, and at first the game can be unforgiving; but the learning curve is pretty steep, so if you stick with it, I think you'll appreciate the rigor of this game. In fact, I remember when Fallout came out, I thought it was a sequel to this--in a way it is, kind of (in my mind anyway). Enjoy.

a classic

I don't understand why this game has averaged 2.7 stars out of 5. I played this on my commodore 64 in 1990 and this is exactly the same game but with improved graphics. Some of the other reviewers criticise the terrible UI and they're absolutely right. The UI is terrible but the game itself is still awesome. In my playthrough 35 years after my c64 playthrough, I found it necessary to look up some hints in a couple of spots but I almost finished this in 1990, that's pre-internet, with zero hints. So it is doable. My first playthrough in 1990 was a pirated copy that crashed halfway through base Cochise.
