The item, developed by the studio Interplay Productions (later Interplay Entertainment) under the leadership of Brian Fargo, not only gave life to the brand, which after more than twenty years began to develop the team inXile Entertainment, but also laid the foundation for the cult series Fallout, Interplay's next masterpiece.

For its continuation, the latter had to wait until 2014, when the game, prepared by inXile Entertainment, was released on personal computers. Wasteland 2, which was supervised by the creator of the original - Brian Fargo. Compared to the original, the production boasted much better audiovisual design, as well as more extensive interactions with the presented world. Although the title initially came exclusively to PC, after a year it lived to see release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and three years later it came to Nintendo Switch console. Before the third installment of the series hit PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in May 2020, in late February 2020 personal computers and Microsoft's third console received a remastered version of the first installment of the series, the game Wasteland Remastered, prepared under the guidance of inXile Entertainment by the Krome Studios team. Its authors have taken on, first of all, the visuals, which received a complete refresh.
