The best Post-Apocalyptic RPG ever

Big G. has rated 10/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from Big G.)

The greatest RPG of all time. Instead of spells you have skills that you actually have to use. And the unbeleivably emotional setting of the Earth's unavoidable apocalyptic setting.

Brian has rated 10/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from Brian)

Back in the day, this was the game. Period. Wasteland had so much! A great story, in depth character development, cool violence (well if you liked reading about it, which was the best it got back then!) Wonderful!

Lucky Day Dragon has rated 5/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from Lucky Day Dragon)

Back in the day it was another poor ripoff of Ultima 3. I remember playing this on my Apple //c and the disappointment at how crude it was. The Fallouts did a much better job of capturing the theme.

Quinn has rated 10/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from Quinn)

No game is perfect, but this one comes as close as possible. I was re-playing this game well into the mid-nineties. It shaped a generation of role-players and spawned the Fallout franchise. A literal remake of Wasteland with updated graphics and sound would be a best-seller.

Top notch. Fallout's inspiration.

tristesa has rated 10/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from tristesa)

By far the greatest rpg ever made, particularly for its time. Disagree, and I will turn you into a "fine red mist."

The Best Game of All Time

Classic role-playing game, great setting (which Fallout was based off), characters, and nice box art! =)

Nothing could have made it any better at the time! (C64 version 1988-89)

JayCee has rated 10/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from JayCee)

Though it's quite old now, for it's time Wasteland offered and world that no one else could beat. It had atmosphere, humor, great balance and was very fun to play.

SLEIPNIR has rated 1/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from SLEIPNIR)

too old

Robert Bliss has rated 10/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from Robert Bliss)

The standard for sci-fi / post apocalypse RPGs. Nothing else even comes close, and It's nearly 20 years old.

Ken St. Andre has rated 10/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from Ken St. Andre)

Heck, I created this game, and I tried hard to put in things that had never been done in computer gaming before.

Neovalis has rated 10/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from Neovalis)

Truly incredible game. All crpg fans owe it to themselves to play it.

Temaperacl has rated 10/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from Temaperacl)

One of the, if not the, best CRPGs.

Aniwr has rated 10/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from Aniwr)

This was the game that got me into computer role playing games. An amazing game in it's time, the fun and interest of the game has not faded over the years.

DTeach33 has rated 10/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from DTeach33)

This is the game that started me on the RPG path. The attention to details was just amazing. Spent hundred of hours re-playing it over the years.

Ogre has rated 9/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from Ogre)

This game set the standard for RPGs. Brian Fargo and his team hav produced some amazing games, but none of them quite as balanced as Wasteland!

Wild Bill has rated 9/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from Wild Bill)

A great game for it's time, not just raw killing, but solving problems and gathering supplies and clues to complete the game successfully !

Bernard Assaf has rated 10/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from Bernard Assaf)

Quite possibly the best computer role-playing game, ever. This game, combining the mechanics of Tunnels & Trolls with the skill system of Mercenaries, Spies & Private Eyes, launched the post-nuclear war genre of CRPGs and single-handedly ruined my junior year of high school. Multiple players each with their own unique attributes and skills, quirky non-player character recruits, maniacal robots, and supplemental hard-copy materials with a sense of humor make this game simply amazing. For more information check out the Wasteland Webring at http://u.webring.com/webring?ring=waste;list .

Best game ever.

One of the top RPG programs ever coded. Hit play on your Rush tape and start dodging Jerks hell-bent on having your hide as a new leather jacket.

An RPG set in one if the best post apocalyptic nightmares ever created. The greatest RPG to date.

Mattias Kreku has rated 10/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from Mattias Kreku)

The best RPG I've ever played. The atmosphere in that game has never been beaten. Who cares about graphics?!

Aaron Bell has rated 10/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from Aaron Bell)

An exceptional game for its time. Depth and quality or writing still make it relevant. Sense of humour and pathos. Excellent.

Cautious has rated 10/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from Cautious)


Todd Brakke has rated 10/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from Todd Brakke)

Put in its proper perspective, there were few that could touch this title. Is among the few that could not (within reason) have been much better (for its time). Maybe a little difficult without the hint guide, but even that was well done. I read the guide a couple of times just to experience the story again.

Brian has rated 10/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from Brian)


Øystein Andersen has rated 10/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from Øystein Andersen)

Without a question the best RPG of any genre to ever be created. The game had everything.

Daniel has rated 10/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from Daniel)

Wasteland is the best CRPG I've ever played. There are lots of new games with much nicer graphics and bigger worlds, but I never go back to them like I do with Wasteland. It's strange, but I just played Wasteland again and it's still great fun after all these years! I can honestly say there are no other CRPGs that I've returned to replay again and again after completing them.

Poor, poor. Its like SSI tried to redo Ultima 3.

blackicye has rated 10/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from blackicye)

Wasteland and it's successor "Fountain of Dreams" are IMHO two of the best designed, written and programmed games ever. This is the DEFINITIVE post-apocalyptic nuclear holocaust type RPGs. Fallout and it's offspring were inspired by Wasteland. Everyone, I mean EVERYONE who is able to appreciate a good RPG most definately should actively seek out a copy of wasteland and play it from start to finish. Good graphics, great interface, compelling storyline. Used the Journal style of old to expand the storyline (e.g. read Journal entry #35) Printed and well documented manuals were almost as rare back then and almost non-existent today. go wasteland!

Release this again please, it would be a hit with updated graphics imo.

Rev. Layle has rated 9/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from Rev. Layle)

my second favorite RPG of all time (yes fallout 2 beat Wasteland - becuase fo variety and sotry). Wastelnd had a pseudo-non-linear plot... multiple solutions to puzzles/situations and a great character development system. i have played it countless times. the only negative? too much random encounters and too much XP based on combat. if it wasn't for that it would have gotten a 10

wsutton2 has rated 10/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from wsutton2)

Probably my favorite crpg of all time. Weird, wild stuff. Graphics don't hold up well today, but the turned based gameplay does (if you like turned based). Still want to run that pugilist character.

Saint_Proverbius has rated 9/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from Saint_Proverbius)

While it shows it's age in terms of design no-nos that might make people who are used to more modern games cringe, Wasteland does excel in many areas such as skill triggers. Use attributes and skills on most anything? Tell me that's not cool.

Sony666 has rated 9/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from Sony666)

A true RPG where imagination replaced the 3D graphics of today's titles. Too bad I always ran out of 7.62 ammo for the AK, heh :)

SO good and yet so old. I just wish I played it more before I got distracted by games based on graphics rather then story line. WOuld play it today if I could get another copy.

Read all the hype, got the game played it, uninstalled it after trying to get it for 3 hours. The game is actually one of the worst RPG 's ever not one of the best.

Brown has rated 3/10 points (Click here to see more Reviews from Brown)

I only just played this game recently so don't have nostalgia affecting my review. It hasn't aged well, and fighting wandering robots became tedious very quickly, but I can see it had some good points for it's time. Didn't have the patience to finish without extensively referring to a walkthrough though.

Amazing gameplay that kept me bound from the start, finished the game more than once just to relive the athmosphere. Played the C-64 version. I will always remember my first encounter with Harry.

Who can forget Wasteland? Brutal and funny at the same time this RPG had all you could ever ask for. As the game progressed, each stage had its own particular challenges and excitement. A mus tplay, even today.

This is really the best RPG I have ever played, on any system. It has the best character development system of all time, a fantastic story and an unbeatable atmosphere. Oh, how I wish some huge company would buy the rights to this game and remake it with todays technology and graphics. That is my dream.
