That kid (and all the Wasteland fans) may get lucky soon. Brian Fargo, not on Interplay anymore, bought the Bard's Tale license. Maybe he'll get the Wasteland license next.
Speaking of which, will we see all the "old masters" coming back to their classic titles? Sid Meier bought the licenses of Pirates and Master of Magic. After NWC becomes independent of 3dO again, wouldn't be surprised if Jon van Caneghem bought back the Might & Magic license. What next?
(No, stop dreaming, Richard Garriott will never get his hands on Ultima again).

That is rare, and very cool. Even after playing Fallout (haven't tried
Fallout 2 yet) and Arcanum (which I'm playing 2 games simultaneously), I think
that Wasteland is still my favorite game of all time.
I'm glad he found that and not something like a Scott Adams adventure (ducking
debris flung from Chris ;-D
