Wastleland Remastered is an updated version of the original 1988 Wasteland. Here’s a quick history lesson for all those that are too young to know the game. The original Wasteland is an open world role-playing video game developed by Interplay and published by Electronic Arts. The game was first launched in 1988 for Apple II computers, but was then later ported to Commodore 64 and MS-DOS. Wasteland was such a success that two more sequels were planned. Unfortunately, they were never developed. Wasteland is also the inspiration behind the successful Fallout franchise.
The Remastered version remains true to the design and gameplay of the original, but features updated graphics and better audio. You can compare the remaster to the original version yourself in the tweet below.
Sharing that new Wasteland Remastered keyart felt goooood.
