The "Wasteland Paragraphs" are a printed booklet included with the Commodore 64 version of Wasteland, containing narrative segments that players are instructed to read during gameplay to enrich the story and provide critical plot details.

These paragraphs serve as a form of copy protection and storytelling enhancement. Instead of embedding all narrative text within the game, Wasteland prompts players to read specific numbered entries from the booklet when they encounter events, characters, or discoveries.
