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.

justanoldgamer: Downloaded, installed, manual printed...

Was the survival guide part of the original release?
I am not sure but maybe with a later release?

Crosmando: I think it was sold separately, it's like a walkthrough/hintbook

justanoldgamer: Thanks to you an Judas, last decision is what kind of chips and drink to get while playing, nature or bbq, cola or beer?
BBQ and beer :)

JudasIscariot: BBQ and beer :)

tfishell: I was wondering where all the bluetexts were; why aren't they (TET and G-Doc at least) celebrating this release with us? :P Too busy with other things, or just nothing to say?
Off doing blue text stuffs? :D

JudasIscariot: Off doing blue text stuffs? :D

tfishell: Lol, I can only imagine. In vague terms I have heard you guys are staying quite busy, so it's understandable there's no time to post; plus the occasional release whining probably gets frustrating.

But please get TET to post at least once in here so we know he's alive! :-P
I see I am not good enough for you guys :(

I am kidding :P I'll try but it's been hellaciously busy around here :)

tfishell: No no, I'm just fully aware you're alive. ;) I saw quite a few of your posts in SotS:Pit:Gold release thread, hopefully that was all sorted out and you survived.

Just have TET pop in and salute good old games. ;)
Well, TET might also be playing Battle Worlds Kronos since he did back that one :) (I don't know if he backed Wasteland/Torment, please don't ask :) )

I survived, thank you for asking btw :)

tfishell: Ha ha, fair enough. If he has any free time in-between playing Battle Worlds you might see if, y'know, he could squeeze in a few seconds to bring the peace pipe to both Hasbro and Ubisoft, and bring us lowly peasants an SSi D&D game or two. ;)
All I can say is we're doing what we can but some things just take time, you know :)

tfishell: I understand (the classic "legal and licensing issues"), but couldn't resist bringing it up, sorry. ;) (It's probably frustrating to hear us yammer on about legal-limbo games like these.) Hopefully having the Infinity Engine games here, and being able to wave those sales numbers around, will affect something eventually. But in my opinion, saving the Fallout games should be top priority.

Anyway, don't let me keep you from doing more important "bluetext" stuff. ;) This spin-off release thread conversation might look weird to anybody else, lol.
Please, I am at home now waiting to see if I will be playing Blood Bowl tonight :)

JMich: So as tfishell said, doing "bluetext" stuff. You do play games for a living, right? ;)
I play games for fun as I would make for a horrible tester :)

tfishell: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_Bowl_(1995_video_game)]The 1995 classic?[/url] Excellent choice. ;)
(I guess it is technically 8pm in Poland, isn't it? It's only 2pm where my unemployed self is.)
Weeellll, it's the slightly "updated" version :P
