An important step along the way as they certainly grafted a lot of new things onto the Bard's Tale engine. I do like what they're gesturing towards with the skill system and multiple ways to do things, but I don't know that it's particularly well-executed with the way you wind up stumbling around this buggy, vaguely realized little world. It's relatively quick and easy if you plug away at it, and it's great to see where they went from here, just don't expect a ton of coherence at this point.

The post-apocalyptic RPG that launched a thousand franchises (Fallout started out as a Wasteland clone). It probably wasn't the most advanced RPG of its day, but it was deep, engaging and playable enough that breezing through a playthrough was deeply satisfying; With the technological gap in mind, I certainly liked it better than 2020's Wasteland 3.

There's simple combat that's boring, and there's simple combat that's strangely engaging. Wasteland 1 falls into the second category. I think I would have preferred if Wasteland 2 had used the same system - much easier to deal with trash mobs that way. [Review is for the original DOS version, no remastering of any kind. Fun fact: this is the oldest game I've ever managed to finish.]
