QuoteThis is among the best computer role playing games ever made. Especially the 'post nuclear 60s' style won them many design prizes (especially the cool cartoon illustrations that came along with it).
Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game
Set in the aftermath of a world-wide nuclear war, Fallout will challenge you to survive in an unknown and dangerous world. You will take the role of a Vault-dweller, a person who has grown up in a secluded, underground survival Vault. Circumstances arise that force you to go Outside -- to a strange world 80 years after the end of the modern civilization. A world of mutants, radiation, gangs and violence.
Your immediate task is to find a replacement for the broken water purification controller chip. Without that chip, your fellow Vault dwellers are doomed to dehydration or be forced to leave the safety of the Vault for the Outside.
The first game they made was actually 'Wasteland', a spinoff of the famous 'Bard's Tale' computer role playing game. There's also an excellent sequel, also worth taking a look at. Unfortunately the development team was dissolved in the middle of the production of the greatly anticipated third installment in the series.
