I decided to make a video to act as a bit of a primer on playing the original Wasteland. Since its rerelease alongside Wasteland 2, a lot of new players have discovered it, only to find that there's a bit of a learning curve. After all, this game is 30 years old, so the UI can be a challenge.

In this video, I go over how Attributes, Skills, Character Generation, Movement, Combat, Time, interaction with the world, and the UI all work. I also run through Highpool to demonstrate these things. We'll make a party and venture into the Wasteland to leave our mark!

If you have any questions about the game (quests, mechanics, lore, etc) feel free to drop them in the comments. I love this game, and am pretty much always willing to talk about it.

Note: Combat Shooting is no longer useless in the Remaster, but it still is in any other version of Wasteland 1.
