Fallout



Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game - the first game in the Fallout series, developed and published by Interplay in 1997. It is also the best game ever in the whole wide world. No, don't even argue. You know it is.

Originally designed with the GURPS engine in mind. This idea was eventually scrapped and the SPECIAL system was created specifically for Fallout.

Fallout is seen as the "spiritual successor" to Interplay's classic 1987 CRPG Wasteland. There are a few references to this game in Fallout that post-apoc fans will instantly recognize.

The game was censored in various international versions, which included the removal of all children from the game in the European version. Besides being frustrating for many of the game's players, the removal of children from the game caused a number of bugs. This was later fixed in a fan-made patch.
