Here’s a fun little relic from the earliest days of game development: the original contract for the IBM port of Wasteland, made by Interplay, which cost EA just $28,000.
Interplay founder Brian Fargo posted one section of the old contract today on Twitter, and it’s an interesting look at ‘80s game development life:

Add a few zeroes and this would fit in nicely today. Only thing missing is the Metacritic bonus.
