Over the course of adventures rangers would receive promotions, acquire new skills and equipment, then face new challenges with outcomes that changed depending on the strategy used to defeat them. Wasteland was set in a dangerous, post-apocalyptic world in the American Southwest. It was groundbreaking, which is why IGN named it one of the top 25 PC games of all time, Computer Gaming World named it the Adventure Game of the year in 1988, and it was short-listed for inclusion in the Smithsonian Institutions current Art of the Computer Game exhibition. It was the first to provide far more than the one-key-for-one-lock style of puzzle solving. The original Wasteland was the inspiration for the FALLOUT series of games, and the first RPG to allow players to split parties for tactical considerations, to face players with moral choices, and to make them deal with the consequences of their actions.

Recruit the help you need, follow any leads you find, but beware. Now something more secretive and sinister than the usual roving bands of mutants and raiders is menacing humanity, and it's your job to investigate. You may wear ragtag uniforms and carry make-shift weapons, but the Desert Rangers are the only law left in what was once the American southwest. Army detachment who survived the nuclear holocaust by holing up in a maximum security prison. You are a Desert Ranger, one of a band of stalwart lawmen born from the remnants of a U.S.
The year is 2087, eighty-nine years after an all out nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union turned vast swaths of the Earth into a hellish wasteland where survival is a daily struggle against thirst, hunger, radiation sickness, ravaging raiders, and mutants - always mutants. There's nowhere to run, and nothing to rely on but your MAC 17 machine gun. The black gunmetal glint of Uzis as they close in for the kill. Even more than there were last time: they seem to materialize out of the very grains of the radioactive desert sand. For the first time in over 20 years, we are heralding the return of a much loved piece of gaming history with the classic RPG, Wasteland!
