Some of the best years of my childhood was spent playing Ultima IV at my best friends house untill all hours of the night. Thanks for the memories. Now just need to remake Adventure Construction Set and Alternate Reality: The City.

Kickstarter fever continues! Following news of Double Fine Productions’ incredible success at kickstarting a new point-and-click adventure title, inXile Entertainment is now following their lead. The company’s CEO, Brian Fargo, has revealed he plans to revive the long-lost franchise of Wasteland. “Huh?”, I hear everyone under the age of 25 ask, “is that a game or something?”. Well, if we want to be historically accurate, it’s actually a poem written by T.S. Eliot… but for our purposes we’ll just focus on the video game released in 1988.
Wasteland was a post-apocalyptic RPG co-created by Fargo for Interplay Productions. After its release, the developers lost the rights to the Wasteland name, and went on to create a new post-nuclear disaster RPG you might be a little more familiar with: Fallout.
Speaking to IGN, Fargo said the new Wasteland game (which may or may not be called “Wasteland 2″) will be “100% faithful to its roots”:
“[It] would be focusing on top-down, probably isometric, party based, skill based – where if you’d just finished playing Wasteland and moved onto this you’d feel comfortable”.
“A lot of people have forgotten that there would have been no Fallout if there wasn’t a Wasteland”.

Fargo pledged the game would be developed for PC first and foremost, and that it would be designed for fans, not a publisher. He also put the estimated cost at around $1 million, and predicted a kickstarter page would go live within a month.
