A man with interests in mathematics, baseball, psychology and cybernetics, he led a dedicated team of scientists with the mission of creating life that would adapt to a post-nuclear war. The first (and only) director of Project Darwin was Irwin John Finster. While the research base provided enough living space for the base's personnel, the men simply chose to live in the town. The town served as a housing area for the massive research facility, with all necessities on-site, including a hospital, convenience store, bar, emergency chemical lab etc. The base was designed to be entirely self-sufficient, with a radioactive field prohibiting access to and from the facility and the adjoining town, with only a winding mountain route remaining as a clear connection to the outside world. Project Darwin (original base name unknown), established before the nuclear war, was a classified genetic and biological research center located in a remote mountainous location in Nevada. RPG fans should play classics of the genre."Negative.Primary directive one states:Preserve human life at all costs."- Cochise AI Wasteland was critically acclaimed upon release and won multiple awards.
The game is vast, varied, and challenging. Meaning that whatever you have done in an area stays that way, rather than resetting itself.
Another standout feature of Wasteland was the environment continuity. You can use the skills to help with combat (weapon proficiency), but you can also utilize them to solve specific dilemmas in many ways (like opening a locked gate). Your character can also learn skills like climbing, lockpicking, and Medic. These attributes include Strength, Dexterity, Charisma, etc. You can raise your character’s skills and attributes, but they will also affect outside of combat. The feature that made Wasteland stand out was its skill system. There are also towns to visit to acquire party members, items, and information. Combat itself is turn-based, and you can see a little picture of your enemy as you fight them.
You travel around on a top-down map with random enemy encounters possible and utilize a point-and-click interface. In the aftermath of World War III, you are the leader of a band of rangers traveling the Wasteland. It was later followed by Wasteland 2 in 2014, with a few failed sequels in between.Ĭlearly, this is a precursor to Interplay’s series Fallout, one of my favorites. Wasteland is a post-apocalyptic RPG developed by Interplay and published by Electronic Arts in 1988 for the Apple II, DOS, and Commodore 64.
