''Visions of Aftermath: The Boomtown'' is a DOS game released in 1988. It was published by Mindscape, Inc. and developed by Chivalry Software, Inc.

2D, post-apocalyptic RPG. It is the not-so-distant future, after the Great Apocalypse. Only the strongest and smartest have survived. It has been several months since The Day Time Stopped... several months since The Bomb... several months since you've seen the sun or felt its warmth. You can't last too much longer on the supplies left in your shelter. Soon you must leave your sanctuary. You have no idea what waits outside, other than the radiation. Scientists predicted aberrant weather, continuing natural disasters, overgrown vegetation, barren wastelands, and The Hordes: nomadic survivors devastated by radiation and its sickness. All this -- and more -- awaits you... outside.

* CosyCatastrophe: The Suburbia worldtype has shades of this, since there's shelters everywhere to live off of and, if you don't have to deal with Hordes, you can often live for the entire game duration just hopping from shelter to shelter without actually building anything.



* FantasyGunControl: All ammunition was used up shortly after the Apocalypse, so the ultimate weapon is the bow and arrow.
