Developers originally made the game for the Apple II and it was ported to the Commodore 64 and MS-DOS. The game is set in a futuristic, post-apocalyptic America destroyed by a nuclear holocaust generations before. I like some of the things from the new version - especially the narrated paragraph entries.Wasteland is an open world role-playing video game developed by Interplay and published by Electronic Arts in 1988. I still have the original DOS version around thanks to The Ultimate RPG Archives (a friend of mine gave me the disc with Wasteland, Bard's Tale, Ultima Underworld, etc. I played Wasteland on the C-64 back in the day. Wonder how difficult the licensing would be for it? Since inXile Entertainment/gog.com already offer the older Bard's Tale games alongside the 2004 release, it shouldn't be that far-fetched to offer the C64 version of Wasteland in both G64 and NIB formats and the Apple II version in NIB format.

Also, if the final release of Wasteland 2 meets the expectations, I am going to buy that, as well.Ĭ64 Preservation Project has already preserved the original (non-cracked) disks of the retail version in the image format.

This would give buyers of The Original Classic version a legal way to play these versions and check out things like the stylish 8-bit intro (which was left out from the MS-DOS version).Ĭ64 Preservation Project has already preserved the original (non-cracked) disks of the retail version in the image format. However, I have been wondering if it was possible to add the complete disk images of Apple II and C64 versions to the extras for use with emulators like AppleWin and VICE.
