Back in the day, I played and replayed the original Wasteland several times. When I heard they were making a sequel (an actual sequel), I was ecstatic. Finally, a few days ago, I was able to purchase it. I've just gotten to the top of Highpool with 4 of the pre-gen characters and I have to say I'm impressed. I've only had one issue. My GeForce GT210 1GB and Core 2 Duo 3.0 GHz (4 GB DDR2) just doesn't cut it. If I turn the game down to "Fast", I can play it, but it's sluggish (everything including the UI). I have the patience and I spent a couple of hours playing and learning it. I was having fun. Yesterday a co-worker lent me a Zotac GTX 760 with 2GB of RAM (ZT-70401-10P). Wow! What a difference a $250 graphics card makes, but then it should. With that video card, in the same machine, I turned it up to "Beautiful" and it was flawless. Now that I've returned the card, I'm going back to slow mode. But then again, the graphics are not what make this game. It's all about the atmosphere and tactics. The main reason I wrote this review is for the people who have complained about the graphics and suggested that a GPU upgrade wouldn't make a difference. You really need a good video card for this one if you want all of the fancy graphics and that's where you should put your money. The minimum processor and some DDR2 RAM is more than sufficient. Oh, and I also want to thank GOG for adding Linux games to their wares. I cannot stress this enough. Thank you. nemolomen
