	A Clash Between Game and Narrative
		That computer games and narratives are very different phenomena and, as a consequence, any combination of the two, like in "interactive fiction", or "interactive storytelling" faces enormous problems.
		As the educational level of the average computer user decreased and the features and capabilities of the average computer increased, the trend in computer games went to 'arcade' games instead of text.
		Fortunately, we seem to be slowly moving from seeing the computer game as a sociological or even pathological phenomena towards seeing it as an aesthetic object to examine.

	ClassicGaming.com - Game of the Week
		However, every now and then a game would appear that would break away from the mold of the traditional RPG, one such game was released in the late 80's.
		Wasteland tossed you into a gun toting, marauding desert gang ridden, excessive leather wearing, hot and dirty post-holocaust world.
		Because the world of Wasteland is set in an apocalyptic future, and not in a world of fantasy, there is no sorcery or magic, although there is a little magic shop in Needles that you can go to for a little game humor.

	GameSpy.com - Hall of Fame
		These games were chosen either because of their brilliant gameplay (which makes them playable to this day), or because they innovated in such a way to reshape gaming as we know it.
		Wasteland was released in January 1987 for the Apple II (later it was ported to the C64 and then the IBM.) Back then the developer, Interplay, had yet to spin off into its own company -- they were busy making a name for themselves by making RPG's (including the Bard's Tale series) for Electronic Arts.
		It was also named Computer Gaming World's Adventure Game of the Year, and even in 1996 it came in as number 9 on their list of the best games ever made.

		Wasteland is one of those fortunate enough to be included in that category.
		The eventual goal in the game is to destroy a base that's producing all the killer robots you find later on in the game, but you can literally spend weeks just exploring all the areas and completing the many side quests.
		Wasteland is one of those games that is going to take a long time to finish, but is well worth the effort.

		During story mode, players find themselves fitting in by being "anti-establishment." Although the game usually presents it "tongue-in-cheek", the protagonist often finds themselves on the wrong side of the law-from stealing random objects for their skate park to tagging walls with graffiti in order to make some cash.
		Overall, the attitude of the game seems to be that it's okay or even cool to break the law for the "cause" of skateboarding.
		While the songs tend to be indiscernible during most of the game, there are lyrics parents need to be aware of.

		Wasteland is a post-apocalyptic RPG made in 1988 by EA Games.
		The graphics in the game are not great, but are good for the time the game was made.
		I think that this is an awesome game, and the terrible graphics do not take away from the gameplay at all for me. I will give this game a straight 5, because for back then, this was awesome.

	Wasteland Review by Al Giovetti
		Wasteland is recorded by Computer Gaming World as being produced in 1986, but my IBM copy shows a copyright date of 1987, 1988.
		Wasteland used a top down, aerial view, interface for adventuring, where the party of adventurers moved on the map display.
		This is a solo game played by one player with a group of up to six player controlled characters in the party.

		Wasteland is a futuristic multi-character role-playing computer game set in the post-World War III area of "New" Nevada in the United States of America, now known as the Wasteland.
		Wasteland is considered one of the top Role Playing Games of its time, or any time for that matter.
		It might not have been an 'official' sequel to Wasteland, but it was a clear statement that it would be Interplay's attempt to continue the tradition started by Wasteland.

		We are attempting to completely breakdown the mechanics used in all aspects of the game, both to understand our favorite game of all time, and to inject new data to create a total remake using the original engine.
		Most of the work currently under way is involved in the game map data files.
		Wasteland came with a bunch of 'paragraphs', a list of text which needed to be read at certain times.

	RPGamer Editorials - A Trend in RPGs
		Now this trend is hardly new, anyone to remember the old computer game Wasteland will tell you that it was one of the best of its day, but unfortunately the trend didn't continue.
		I believe this is due to the reason is the same as there are a lot of fantasy books out now, fantasy is easy to create, sells pretty well, and fantasy taps into an ancient desire to look back to find a place better than the one we are currently in.
		Even though most of the game dealt with the magical civilization and how advanced it was because it used magic instead of our science was satisfying.

	Tony Hawk's American Wasteland (xbx: 2005): Reviews
		A return to the roots for the Tony Hawk games – a return that is hampered by little bugs and the end of the console life cycle.
		As a whole, the story, attitude and overall focus of the game is much better this time around than what we've seen from the two "THUG" games.
		With the braindead goals, non-charismatic cast of characters, and relatively limited level list, the game is unfortunately relegated to rental status, with its best points making us reminiscent of the days when you actually had to be good to beat a Tony Hawk game.

	Tony Hawk's American Wasteland (cube: 2005): Reviews
		American Wasteland ends up being yet another sequel that feels more like an expansion pack, but when the levels are this big and well designed, that's not such a bad thing.
		When the greatest slogan or advertising ploy with this game is the fact it has no laod times, which is completely falso due to the excessive lagging when entering and exiting areas, something ahs gone terribly array.
		I think that this game is really good and all but the levels are poorly made, and the lack of the create a deck option and create a player option in story mode is a real let down, but it's still pretty fun.

		Exhaustive Wasteland Walkthrough By Ben Morgan v2.1 Note: This has not been proofread, for the sake of adventure, and more importantly, laziness.
		Electronic Arts is holding the rights to the game, as well as Bard's Tale, and they are currently sitting on it, for what reason, no one knows.
		It involves winning one game, not taking the loot, then winning another game at the other side of the table.

	Wasteland Walkthrough
		It's a post-apocalyptic computer role-playing game (in the sense that you batter lots of monsters into oblivion and take their stuff) which was released in 1987 and is still considered by many to be one of the best computer games ever created.
		The reason for this is that the game files of Wasteland for the PC have now been decrypted and dissected, allowing for much more reliable and detailed knowledge regarding game mechanics, map data, item data and so on.
		Remember that the game is saved every time you move to a new map, so if you take too long you may end up in a situation where you cannot possibly make it out in time.

		This year's game is no exception, but I am beginning to wish that these guys would skip a year and spend the extra time making a better game.
		The big deal about this game was that the entire game is supposed to be contained in one massive level modelled after the city of Los Angeles.
		The game's storyline is lame, but it can be amusing now and then with the inclusion of BMX bikes to go with the skating.
