Wasteland is one of the seminal RPGs of the late 1980s, which (re)defined role-playing games for a generation, pulling them out of the dusty confines of fantasy and plunging right into the dry heat of a post-nuclear Nevada! Based on a modified Mercenaries, Spies & Private Eyes ruleset, Wasteland paved the way for Fallout and other major RPGs. It was reborn years later with Wasteland 2, continuing the story of the Desert Rangers across Arizona and California, and expands further to Colorado with Wasteland 3!
