Featured Game

Wasteland set itself apart from other role-playing games in the 1980s by eschewing the high fantasy concepts based on Dungeons & Dragons and Tolkein and swapping them with the apocalyptic trappings of a post-nuclear environment. It would then spawn the Fallout games. It was remade in 2020 for the game’s 30th anniversary.
