 Gamma World - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some editions of the Gamma World rulebook include details of a racist militant organization calling itself The Knights of Genetic Purity, which exists solely and explicitly to be a mustache-twirlingly evil enemy for players of the game to fight.
This post-apocalyptic game takes place on the earth of the late 24th-century, where advanced technology, psionics, improbable mutations, and fantasy radiation mingle in a ruined world that has reverted to anarchy.
In late 2003 Sword and Sorcery (a White Wolf Game Studio label) released a new edition of Gamma World.

 Science Fiction Game Reviews
The title of this first book, Gamma World Player's Guide, leads players to think that it's dedicated entirely to making characters and defining the basic rules of the game.
The new game sheds the rule sets of previous editions in favor of Wizards of the Coast's d20 Modern Role-Playing Game, which is required to play the game.
Gamma World relies heavily on d20 Modern for its rule set, but it does include an appendix that will let you use the Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 Edition Player's Handbook instead.

I've been playing it ever sense (the last game I ran was Gamma World).
Caveat 1: The descriptions make it clear that the game was based on Gamma World 3.

 Lions & Tigers & Rabbits, Oh My -The Forgotten Gamma World Gamegrene.com
In 2000, Gamma World was re-released as a campaign setting for the Alternity Science Fiction RPG, retaining the apocalyptic setting and mutation charts, but once again revamping the ruleset and moving them farther away from their humble origins.
The really fun thing about Gamma World was that it was set in the area of western Pennsylvania where my gaming group and I lived, so our characters had fun trying to rebuild the city of Butler.
For my group--teenagers in the last throes of the Cold War in the 1980's--the post-apocalyptic genre itself was so compelling that we played a great deal of Gamma World, and overcame the mutational defects of the game system.

 RPGnet: Review of Classic Gamma World
I guess the concept was that Gamma World was going to be played mostly by people who already played AD&D and knew the structure of the hobby.
EXAMPLE OF PLAY The rules section of Gamma World ends with an uninspiring Example of Play and very general Starting the Campaign background.
Most players will want to play mutants of some sort and the GM will use these charts to create enemies and allies for the players.

The Gamma World Player's Handbook should almost be called a 'World Setting Book'.

Gamma World isn't bad it just isn't the Gamma World we all remember so it irks a lot of people that were hoping for that familiar feel to thier gamma world games.
When Wizards of the Coast saw how embarassingly bad the D20 Gamma World was, they obviously decided to give a nod to a *proper* rendition of the setting.
D20 GW on the other hand is a post-apocalyptic setting to be sure, but it bears little or no relation to the real Gamma World that diehard fans enjoyed.

The first of these was for TSR's Alternity game system that stripped out many of Gamma World's core elements, and the second was a return to the Metamorphosis Alpha concept with.
Since the release of that original in 1978, the Gamma World game and concept have gone through at least six editions, only really deviating with the last few versions.

The big reflecting surface focuses the weak flash of Cherenkov light and the gamma ray is ‘photographed’ as if it were a shooting star whose flash lasts only 2-3 nanoseconds (billionths of seconds).
With his 17-meter-diameter-mirror and 240 square meters surface, it’s the largest telescope in the world dedicated to ‘gamma astronomy’, that is devoted to the detection of gamma rays.
Among the measures of experimental cosmology that the Magic telescope can do, the most important is the study of gamma ray source spectrum with the aim to observe the Universe at a depht that can go up to 8 billions light-years.
