![]() Syp! Killer of juvies! Demoralizer of bunnies! My legend is told far and wide, and there’s even a holiday in my honor! I have to equip two of my clip pistol-skill users with pistols to make it through on the sixth try, and that ended with one of my guys unconscious. I think there’s a deep tale here that’s gone untold. One does wonder what twists and turns of life a man must go through in order to lose contempt for humanity and instead start ordering rabbits around. You ever wonder where Guild Wars 2 got that joke? I’m betting it was from here. So I’ve got to go kill the bunnies and their boss, Harry the Bunny Master. In any case, the reworked Wasteland I’m playing incorporates the paragraphs (and new voice-overs) into the game itself. I don’t think it worked, really, but all of the fake paragraphs in the book proved to be entertaining reading. This is Wasteland’s notorious copy protection system, which used a book of descriptive paragraphs in an attempt to stymie pirates. Instantly upon getting close to the guy at the front desk (what is THAT job like?), I’m told to read a paragraph. Because when you’re on the lowest rung, mutant bunnies can always drag you down one rung further. Nay, it’s because there are mutant bunnies and some sort of catapult attack messing up their farm work. Gradually, my party heals to full and we go into the Center.Įveryone here is really bummed out, not - as you might imagine - because their lot in life is to be farmers in the middle of a radioactive wasteland. The only way I can figure out how to heal up right now is to run back and forth on the overworld map to make time pass. Apart from a few items and XP, we really didn’t come out ahead from that previous area. Syp’s Rangers, bruised and battered from beating up kids, have emerged from Highpool and decided to head over to the Agricultural Center instead. So let’s keep that in mind as we see how far we can go. It’s entirely possible to find yourself in a time-limited situation or in inescapable fights without any way to win. ![]() For example, now that I left Highpool, Jackie is dead and reloading the save won’t change that. This means that as I go through Wasteland, I’m in a constant and very real danger of ending up permanently screwed. In fact, you were instructed to make copies of the disks and play from those, else the game would save on your one and only original. This stems from the olden days of yore, when PC games came on floppies and there just wasn’t enough space to create multiple save games. So here’s probably the most terrifying aspect of Wasteland, the one fact that should warn you away from this game and toward, say, Fallout instead: Wasteland only has one save game, and that’s over-written every time you leave or enter a new area. You can follow the entire series on the Nostalgia Lanes page.) (This is part of my journey playing through Wasteland.
