Some people are allergic to pixels apparently. The game can look exactly the same, but if it's smooth instead of pixelated it's better. Dunno. Pixels are old and old is bad, I guess.

At a time when "retro pixel art" is starting to find a place in modern art this seems higly idiotic. There's something so brilliant about how they made what they made with minimal room to move and by god those animated portraits are fantastic. I have a pretty solid feeling I'm still going to prefer them over the painted portraits in WL2.
All this money and no WL key makes Haba a dull boy.

Finally going to play this Wasteland game I've heard so much about! I'm excited!

I remember a few years ago I fired up Wasteland, did a few things, and kept dying of radiation in the middle of nowhere, and never got over the interface. Shameful of my decline, I fired up this copy, went to Highpool, fell in the water, then talked to the boy in the corner and got absolutely nothing.
I am a fucking noob.

I got a bug in the store in Quartz - can't seem to go back in. Also the autosave caused me to lose a couple characters. Don't go into a new area with characters in a condition your medics can't manage unless you're close to a hospital and have plenty of cash. Burying my specialist was a bummer

The More Things Change ...
Can't recall such a heart breaker in the C-64 version. PC version had several varieties of 'Store Bugs'.
Per's walk through may have some tips, (and spoilers).
Only ONE save slot, now that's old school Iron Man-ly.
By the time played PC version had the 10?, 20? meg MFM HD.
Easier to copy all the 'wastelan' folder, from time to time, and then play ever onward.
Might at least save those hard rolled characters from previous town questing.
What similiar safety nets are in our futures-past?
What brave new META gaming will arise with this InXile reissue?

That happened to me but I just assumed it was because I poked my head into the back room and then killed the juveniles who didn't like that I did that.

There's an old shop disappearing bug in Wasteland 1 -- check Per Jorner's walk through for how to avoid it (walkthrough is spoiler heavy so be forewarned). This is unfortunately a bug we can't fix.

It's no big deal the nomad shop is pretty much the same... Pretty sure anyway.

I'll stick to my DOSBox version with animated portraits, talk about a major feature fail.

As I said, they're optional, so you don't need your DOSBox version.

I'm unclear on this.
Are you saying there is an option, inside of the game, to choose between the old animated portraits, and the new static portraits?
Is that what you are saying?

I think I misspoke and it was the Highpool merchant which stopped responding. I didn't mind though since I'd hit Quartz up soon after and haven't had any such bugs since.
