I see the reviews are very poor, but I also see a lot of them are a few years old. Has the game been improved?

I'd like to know as well.

If didn't play it way back when, and expect something on par with Wasteland 3, you'll be disappointed. If you are a veteran gamer, and played it decades ago, it is still fun to play. I've been playing it again this last week, and encountered no bugs or issues. It is same game that I first played back in the Reagan administration days, which is a good thing in my book.
