Fountain of Dreams
DOS version
a decent RPG
The Good
First of all, while it wasn't nearly as good as Wasteland, it wasn't a bad game for the time. It was pretty enjoyable, and had a rather cool Caribbean/bayou/postapocalyptic feel to it. The mutations players could get were pretty cool, and the equipment was varied and fun to gather.
The Bad
The main problem, I felt, was that the game seemed far too short, like it had been cut short in development. The map is even smaller than Wasteland; the outdoors map is maybe a quarter the size of Wasteland's, and there are only 3 large areas. The cool atmosphere I mentioned before also breaks down; the clowns were also a minor problem; they were just a little too silly for such a major component of the game.
The Bottom Line
If you run across it, which I doubt you will, it's a fun way to waste an afternoon.
