Fallout - Retrospective @ Chalgyr's Game Room

Well here is the second Retrospective article from Chalgyr's Game Room, and this time it deals with one of my  favorite RPGs. You can already guess by the title its Fallout.

If you look at Fallout you see a 2-d game with mediocre graphics, simple sound and slow action. However, if you start playing it you discover how ingenious it is.

The story involves a bold person who gets out of an underground shelter after a nuclear holocaust devastated the United States and must find an item essential for the survival of his vault. During your travels you will meet many violent fellows, such as slave traders or gangsters, but you also cross relatively peaceful settlements, where people struggle to recreate civilization. Many dangers await you in the desert and some of them are even worse than giant scorpions or groups of marauders.
