I love the game Wasteland, and I am sure I am not alone. I wondered, however, what the game would have looked like for those people who did not have 16-color EGA or Tandy computers back in the day. The versions of Wasteland that float around these days are from the CD compliations that include a pre-installed EGA version.

With some diligent searching, I found a rip of the disk version, which came on two disks. This version shows that Wasteland supported CGA and Tandy graphics, and also had a separate install option for composite color CGA graphics. Since I nor anyone else in the past 20 years has ever seen what the CGA graphics looked like, I took a few screenshots for people to look at:
