Terminal entry

Terminal entries are in-game source texts found in terminals which provide (additional) information on certain subjects. Although they sometimes contain images, most of the content is text. Some entries are directly relevant to the tasks the player must perform, some give background and contextual information, and some provide partial or complete independent mini-stories, such as the multi-part journal of Nancy Kroydon (Germantown logs) in Fallout 3, found on a terminal in the yard outside the Germantown Police HQ, detailing how she and her team tried to assist survivors immediately after the nuclear attack; the last entry ending with her on the verge of death from radiation poisoning.
