Wasteland is a role-playing video game developed by Interplay Productions and published by initially Electronic Arts in March 1988. The first installment of the Wasteland series is set in a futuristic, post-apocalyptic America, destroyed by a nuclear holocaust generations before. Developers originally made the game for the Apple II and it was ported to the Commodore 64 and MS-DOS. It was re-released for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux in 2013 via Steam and GOG.com, and in 2014 via Desura. A remastered version titled Wasteland Remastered was released on February 25, 2020, in honor of the original game's 30th anniversary.
