Fallout 1 & 2



  • Publisher : Interplay
  • Developer : Black Isle Studios
  • Genre : RPG
  • Release date : 1997 / 1998
  • Protection : NONE
  • Story :
    Quote:
    War.War never changes. The Romans waged war to gather slaves and wealth. Spain built an empire from its lust for gold and territory. Hitler shaped a battered Germany into an economic superpower. But war never changes.

    In the 21st century, war was still waged over the resources that could be acquired. Only this time, the spoils of war were also its weapons. Petroleum and uranium. For these resources, China would invade Alaska, the US would annex Canada, and the European Commonwealth would dissolve into quarreling, bickering nation-states, bent on controlling the last remaining resources on Earth. In 2077, the storm of world war had come again. In two brief hours, most of the planet was reduced to cinders. And from the ashes of nuclear devastation, a new civilization would struggle to arise. A few were able to reach the relative safety of the large underground Vaults. Your family was part of the group that entered Vault Thirteen. Imprisoned safely behind the large Vault door, under a mountain of stone, a generation has lived without knowledge of the outside world. Life in the Vault is about to change.

    Quote:
    War, war never changes. The end of the world occurred pretty much as we had predicted: too many humans, not enough space or resources to go around. The details are trivial and pointless, the reasons, as always, purely human ones.

    The earth was nearly wiped clean of life, a great cleansing. An atomic spark struck by human hands, quickly raged out of control. Spears of nuclear fire rained from the skies. Continents were swallowed in flames, and fell beneath the boiling oceans. Humanity was almost extinguished, their spirits becoming part of the background radiation that blanketed the earth. A quiet darkness fell across the planet, lasting many years. Few survived the devastation; some were lucky enough to reach safety, taking shelter in great underground vaults. When the great darkness passed these vaults opened and the inhabitants emerged to begin their lives again. One of the northern tribes say they were decedents from one such vault: they say that their founder and ancestor, one known as the Vault Dweller, once saved the world from a great evil. This evil arose in the far south; it corrupted all it touched, twisting men inside, turning them in to beasts. Only through his bravery was the evil destroyed, but when he returned to the home he fought so hard to protect he was cast out. Exiled. Confronting that which they feared he had became something else in their eyes and no longer their champion. He strode far to the north 'til he came to the great canyons.

    There he founded a small village, Arroyo. It is now home, your home. But the scars from the war have not yet healed, and the earth has not forgotten.

I love the Fallout games, but FO2 is by far the best. FO1 was great, but seemed to be missing a lot - while FO2 took what made 1 so great - then made it better. Fallout 3, on the other hand, appeals to my FPS-RPG desires and will always be in my favourite games lists. Different, like Brotherhood of Steel was different, but still great.

Oh and I love having a template, bud! Makes it look more official Very Happy

I remember loading times were really long on my 486 (around 45 - 60 seconds). That's the reason I didn't finish it until I got a new PC in 2002. Sad

And that I had to delete all other games from my HDD (1.3 GB in 1996 Cool ) just to install it. Very Happy Good times.

And I think as well that Fallout 2 is better than Fallout.

You forgot; "tweaking the pot with a technical screwdriver just to get one game to load properly, only to find out that doing so broke OTHER games" Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Also how about playing the C64 version of Street Fighter 2 - and having to spend 2mins loading the next FIGHT off the tape? Rolling Eyes Laughing

I remeber that. Very Happy Especially that bloody screwdriver operation.

Never had any game on C64 that would require that. But I had maybe 30 games for C64 so maybe that's the reason. Games were a bit hard to come by at that time.

Those who are interested: Mark Morgan, the maker of the FO1-2 soundtrack remastered the old musics and released them for free.

http://auralnetwork.com/releases

However, the official download seem to be offline at the moment, so here's an alternative solution.

Thank you for your comment.

Hopefully we'll get lossless (if Bethesda will allow it).

ah but thats the good shit. this game does atmosphere so well... its absolutely haunting, stunning, surreal, terrifying and exciting all at the same time.

i dont see this game as one you sit down and just play till you finish... instead, kinda something you keep installed on ur pc and revisit every now and then when you want an experience, rather than a game. i just left the thing alone for about a week or so, but found myself drawn back to it this morning and ive been playing around for about 4 straight hours... yeah... just love the atmosphere, even though at times id rather just sit around in the safety of a city, surrounded by friendlies and... light...... but doesnt that mean that the games doing a damn good job? Very Happy

But definitely, that and AC2 (which I finished formally, but still have stuff to discover) will remain installed on my pc Very Happy

C64-style Fallout FTMFW.

fun idea, but useless
i can just walk around and talk to people?
and it's not even trying any specific visual style.. it's too high res and color for c64
would have preferred if they just made a proper clone
