Description
Following on the popularity of
Wasteland,
Electronic Arts released this unofficial sequel, using a modified version of the Wasteland game engine.
Fountain of Dreams takes place several decades after a nuclear bombardment has caused the state of Florida to break off from the mainland and become an isolated island community. The survivors of the war have split into several opposing factions, and life on the island of Florida is constantly threatened both by the ever present threat of radiation-induced mutation and by the Killer Clowns, a group of deranged and heavily armed marauders descended from circus performers stranded on the island by the war.
When the Clowns murder the only man with the knowledge to stop the spread of the mutation, it becomes your task to locate a cure to the mutation before it overtakes your group of survivors as well as what's left of humanity on the island.

History
Although the programmers of
Wasteland broke off from Electronic Arts to form Interplay, EA still retained the copyright for
Wasteland. They tried to capitalize on the success of Wasteland by releasing their own post-apocalyptic game
Fountain of Dreams, but fell short of gamer's expectations.
Interplay did however release their own unofficial follow-up to
Wasteland in the form of
Fallout, which many feel remains true to the original spirit of
Wasteland.
