Wasteland Hints
Saving
The IBM version of Wastelands saves automatically every time you change locations, although the "save" feature will allow you to save halfway through a location.
The Apple IIe version allows you to load up the last autosave, or the last specific save. DON'T walk to a new location if you don't want to save (e.g. one of your characters is likely to die). This can be very easy to do and can be really irritating.
