message: Just out of curiosity, who currently holds the copyright to Wasteland at this moment in time?  The Developer Interplay, or the Publisher/Distributor Electronic Arts? --I am not good at running 05:55, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Who currently holds the copyright to this game? 

message: It would be nice if some justification was given for adding this back in, especially after I pointed out the note is ill-informed. What is known about the game's code and ruleset points to Combat shooting not being used. Its appearance in the game interface is the most eye-catching difference between the 8-bit and PC versions, but that doesn't mean it's in any way significant enough to warrant Wikipedia inclusion. All that can be said about it is speculative and likely to become irrelevant. --Kaffedrake 17:47, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Wastelandgame1.png

message: I added a paragraph about persistency. I still remember getting the C64 version of Wasteland, and the fact that it stored its game world was on of the main reasons for me to buy it - that was a pretty new thing back then. It also meant you had to copy four discs (for the C64 version) before you could play. Anyone who still remembers knows how long a delay that meant. :-)

message: i think it is now appropriate to create a Wasteland 2 page, since the Kickstarter project kicked off. Am I correct?--Infestor (talk) 15:25, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Has anyone read the "Making of Wasteland" article in Retro Gamer No. 134? Is there information in it that could be useful here? I am trying to track down a copy of the article as I haven't read it. Vivatheviva (talk) 04:33, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

message: Would it be appropriate to include these images to the Wasteland_(video_game)#Sequels_and_spiritual_successor section where it discusses Fountain of Dreams and Fallout? 
*:File:Fountain of Dreams screenshot.png 
*:File:Fallout 1 6x Upscaled.jpg 
I think so, as long as the captions explain why they are used here, but I wanted to give others a chance to chime in before I add them. Vivatheviva (talk) 21:27, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I went ahead and added the images to see how they look. If others disagree, feel free to remove them. Vivatheviva (talk) 16:11, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: JJMC89 bot removed the Fountain of Dreams screenshot due to "No valid non-free use rationale for this page". Fine by me. Just closing the loop. Vivatheviva (talk) 14:58, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
