Don't throw eggs at me, but are there any achievements for Steam version? :>
Posted November 09, 2013
For linux users who didn't read the email - A DRM free version of WL1 is on the way:
We understood from our Linux fans that Steam-only distribution was
not desirable, so we are holding on the Linux launch until it will be
available on more than one platform and in at least one completely
DRM-free fashion, if desired. We will have a subsequent announcement
regarding Wasteland 1 – The Original Classic for Linux very soon.

de_Monteynard: Since we seem to be lacking dedicated forums at this point
There's one now, although you may have to subscribe manually.

hedwards: The notification emails seem to be going out, mine just arrived 5 minutes ago. So, if you haven't already logged into the ranger center to claim yours, nows the time.
I qualify via my Torment pledge tier and can confirm that codes are available from torment.inxile-entertainment.com, though I haven't seen any notification yet.

No, because it's a DOS game.

I got this mail regarding wasteland2 (incomplete quote), though I am a backer for both projects:

Hello Rangers,

Your FREE COPY of Wasteland 1 – The Original Classic awaits you in the Ranger Center. As we continue to work hard on its sequel, we’re very happy to give you the opportunity to play the original. As a Wasteland 2 backer, you are eligible for a Wasteland 1 key regardless of your tier or the timing of your support (early, late, whenever).
[...]
Forgotten Ones,

If you are (also) eligible for Wasteland 2 via your Torment pledge, either through the Kickstarter or as a late backer, you also get a free copy of Wasteland 1. Log in to your Torment account on our pledge management system, if your tier includes Wasteland 2 you can find your Wasteland 1 key under the “Donations” tab.

Good to know that inXile is coming up with a Linux DRM-free version instead of just throwing it on Steam. If I switch to Linux from Windows in the future, I'll be very happy with decisions like this.

MrPopo: It looks like it's an integrated DOSbox with the original files so that they could seamlessly have the upscaling and the new portraits and sound additions. One of the menu options includes a readme which has a link to the modified DOSbox source and the DOSbox license. It's similar to how they packaged an Apple II emulator into Bard's Tale so you could play the first three games and had a little GUI for doing disk swapping, rather than needing to know specific commands for the emulator.
I don't like this. AFAICT, this game can't run in DOSBox as the game itself is now effectively a Windows game. I hope this is just a one off for GOG as I really don't relish the future where even the DOS games here can't be made to run in DOSBox without a lot of hassles.

Daliz:
That's nice, although seeing as this version apparently has DOSBox integrated directly into it, I really hope that they don't do something similar with the Linux version. I'm wanting to play on a non-X86 machine and that requires me to run DOSBox, Wine won't cut it as it isn't an emulator.

Anyone else having trouble running the Mac version of W1? I keep getting a message saying it'll only run on 10.8 or newer, even though the game card says 10.6.8 or newer is sufficient.

The ability to set macros is basically my favorite thing. Make sure you use it for stuff you do a lot, like resting, combat, and skills!

To rest, press ESC. It passes 2 minutes with each press.

To set macros, press CTRL+F#, press the key combo you want the macro to use, and then press CTRL+F# again. I believe you can set macros from F1-F10, or maybe 12, don't remember. A good one is pressing ESC 30 times to rest for an hour. I'd also recommend a basic combat one along the lines of A321A321A321A321A. The game'll ignore invalid commands, so with the A321 command you're telling it to attack the third row, if that doesn't exist attack the second, and if that doesn't exist attack the first.
