khryssun Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 It's a game quick-review I found in a very old magazine (1983). It's said this game title is "The Quest" and it's a floppy disk for the Atari 800. This games seems to be VERY GOOD so I tried to find the game image on the web but I haven't found anything with this title. Here is the description (there's no picture in the magazine) It's a graphic game adventure and the history starts after a post nuclear war. The player had to cross the USA to find the last civilized human colony. You'll meet mutated monsters, radiations clouds and giants bugs. The game alternates day / night. The player has the possibility to consult a map. These are all the infos I have. Someone knows this game and/or where I can find a disk image ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted June 13, 2001 Share Posted June 13, 2001 Hmm... sounds alot like Wasteland (one of my favorite games). Let me know if you ever find that game. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Bytchin Posted June 13, 2001 Share Posted June 13, 2001 I agree....it has to be an early name of Wasteland. Check out a review here: http://www.thecomputershow.com/computersho...s/Wasteland.htm It sounds very similar to his description. I played that game on the C-64 quite a few years ago. An interesting take-off of Ultima. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khryssun Posted June 13, 2001 Author Share Posted June 13, 2001 The storyline of Wasteland is similar to the description I made. But, according to the infos posted at "the computer show" the review, wasteland was released in december 86 and the review of the magazine was from 1983. Plus they said wasteland was not available for the atari 800. must be an other game. Anyway, thanks to have indicated me Wateland. I didn't know this game so far and It looks very good.

Mindfield Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Funny thing. Until I read this thread I didn't even know of the existence of Wasteland, but from the sound of it, it sounds identical to the online game of the same name back in the BBS days; I used to play it to death on the rare few PC-based Telegard BBSs I called. I then started writing a port of it on the ST. (Never did get it done, but I got it far enough to walk around the map and enter the base compound, complete with monitored RAD and health stats) Now I'm gonna hafta look the real game up and play with it...

khryssun Posted June 15, 2001 Author Share Posted June 15, 2001 I found the PC version there : http://www.theunderdogs.org/game.php?name=Wasteland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Unfortunately, it's from Interplay, who are an IDSA member, and therefore HotU can't and won't distribute the game. Awell... I have a version for the Apple II, so maybe I'll try that under an emu. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
