Mmmm... Wasteland

The Good
What an amazing game. Probably still my all-time favorite with unmatched gameplay, a wildly creative storyline and the coolest damn monsters around. I really got attached to my team, with perhaps the exception of Covenant who I sacrificed in the final act in favor of evacuating my characters. It also holds a place in my heart as one of the few adventure games I was actually able to complete.

The Bad
There was really nothing to dislike about Wasteland. On a C64 it came on three or four floppies which was a bother but that's not their fault!

The Bottom Line
The King of ALL RPGs. Years ahead of its time and a testament to solid game authoring.
