inXile working on original Wasteland remaster

This is Wasteland for a modern audience.
The original Wasteland came out in 1988 and is regarded as a cult classic. The game takes place in 2087, 89 years after an all out nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union turned vast swaths of the Earth into a hellish wasteland. Survival is a daily struggle against thirst, hunger, radiation, raiders, and mutants. You step into the shoes of a "Desert Ranger," the remnants of the American Army who survived the nuclear holocaust by holing up in a maximum security prison. You're the only law around.

Failing that, how can I manually import my Favourites?
