I tried the ORIGINAL 'Fallout' to see how it holds up...

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fallout is a franchise of post-apocalyptic role-playing video games—and later action role-playing games—created by Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky, at Interplay Entertainment. The series is set during the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd centuries, and its atomicpunk retrofuturistic setting and art work are influenced by the post-war culture of 1950s United States, with its combination of hope for the promises of technology and the lurking fear of nuclear annihilation. A forerunner of Fallout is Wasteland, a 1988 game developed by Interplay Productions to which the series is regarded as a spiritual successor.

The series' first title, Fallout, was developed by Black Isle Studios and released in 1997, and its sequel, Fallout 2, the following year. With the tactical role-playing game Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel, development was handed to Micro Forté and 14 Degrees East. In 2004, Interplay closed Black Isle Studios, and continued to produce Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, an action game with role-playing elements for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox, without Black Isle Studios. Fallout 3, the third entry in the main series, was released in 2008 by Bethesda Softworks, and was followed by Fallout: New Vegas, developed by Obsidian Entertainment. Fallout 4 was released in 2015, and Fallout 76 released on November 14, 2018.

Fun nugget: This game takes you all over the place on your search for the chip. In Fallout 2 though, there's a vault you go to where these water chips are laying around all over the place. Someone screwed up at corporate and sent all the spare chips to this one vault.

According to Tim Cain, Wasteland was not as influential to Fallout as people think and wasn’t brought up as far as he remembers. He says it no doubt had influence but Fallout started as Fallout, not Wasteland 2.

Graphics age, great art design is timeless.

Back in 2018, I played through the original Fallout several times. It felt tedious at first, since I was shifting from modern FPS action to isometric 'point and click' turn-based RPG gameplay. But once I adjusted and got used to it, I found Fallout to be kind of addicting, to be honest. I had a lot of fun with it.

It physically hurt me that he didnt search the corpse at the begginning

Fun fact: Fallout 2, Fallout New Vegas, and Fallout 76 all broke their peak concurrent player count on Steam today (20 April 2024).

Back in the 90's, you could install the game completely to the hard drive without having to read from the CD, so we shared installs amongst the students at high school who had home computers. It was kind of neat because we all shared stories about what our progress through the games were like, and each one of us had a different story. It'd be like "Oh yeah, I killed Gizmo and the guys at The Hub heard about it and gave me missions with Decker", a second student would go "I've just been pick pocketing everyone and found the thieves guild" while a third student went "Wait. What thieves guild?"

It was a magical moment. Especially for the ADHD student who cheated his character to have max stats and kicked every single character in the groin to death.

im pretty sure tim cain would say yes to a fallout history talk, such a nice guy with a great youtube channel

Fallout 1 and 2 are the two games I can replay over and over again, doing the same things, choosing the same skills, and never get tired of it.

I was a 10 year-old kid back in the days, getting so excited by the release of Fallout 2 in 1998. Nostalgia is a hell of a thing.

Yeah. Old cinematics were truly special.
I remember old Syberia games. Those cinematics still live in my memory.

That leather jacket tricks a dog into thinking you’re it’s master because you now look like Mad Max. You can get the dog companion by wearing that. High speech and intelligence let’s you negotiate with the raiders wearing it, too.

The access code in fallout tv series is the release date for the original Fallout.

Fun fact: this game is from an era when there were still user manuals that had important info ... and you can tell Luke didn't bother reading any of it. 😅

[TheRafaelRamos]

For every Fallout fan, this is a must-play along with Fallout 2. Glad you had a great time!

[ralphengland]

Fallout 1 could use a Diablo 2 Resurrection styled makeover.

It's funny because the older I get the more I crave these older games that are full of depth and complexities vs these shiny yet generic AAA games.

For anyone interested to know, when Bethesda bought the Fallout IP, it was being sold on GOG for 5.99 per title, and each of those three games came with at least nine extras apiece, like the manual in PDF, a keyboard reference, etc. Bethesda took those listings down, removed the extras from each listing, and then allowed sales of the games again with the price hiked on each one to 9.99, and they have never gone back down since. It was a scummy tactic, and a very early reason why Bethesda is so hated among Fallout fans.

Late 90s video game cinematics do more with less. The original Fallout intro will stay in my mind forever. One of the most haunting openings to a game ever imo

[tonydeluna]

Oh man, going back to the original Fallout game, this episode is going to good!
