Wasteland is a post-apocalyptic role-playing game that was originally released for Apple II back in 1988. Developed by Interplay and published by Electronic Arts, the game was later ported to Commodore 64, MS-DOS, being re-released on steam in 2013 for Windows, Linux, and OSX.
As an interesting fact, the game's setting and overall concept served as the basis for Fallout, by the same developer and producer Brian Fargo—who is credited as
Wasteland's director.
Wasteland 2 was announced to release in 2013, 15 years after the first game saw the light of day, for Windows, Linux and OSX and would later be ported to the PlayStation 4, and Xbox One under the title of
Wasteland 2: Director's Cut. The
Director's Cut came with a graphics overhaul upgraded to the newest version of the Unity 5 engine. It also allowed players to set new personality traits and characteristics for their squads, added bonuses, precision strikes that inflict more damage to opponents, and even included over 8 thousand new recorded lines of voiced dialogue.

Wasteland 2: Director's Cut has just been announced for the Nintendo Switch and will be available
