To gamers too young to have played the 1996 original, the excitement--and controversy---surrounding Fallout 3 might be a bit baffling. Now those wondering what all the fuss is about have a chance to play the first Fallout without having to track down a battered copy on eBay.
Universal Studios Hollywood has annouced that Fallout will be a part of their Halloween Horror Nights event.
Video Gamer: "Earlier this week, we released a story that the source code and in-development assets for both Fallout and Fallout 2 were lost. According to series creator Tim Cain, and as far as he knew, the source codes for both of the original games were destroyed. However, that’s not the case."
Fallout creator Tim Cain revealed that Interplay demanded all source code of the original games to be destroyed.
Now no one can say they couldn't try Fallout. Awesome return of the classic.
Go get Fallout now kids, thank me later.
it's great for people trying to find the game, but as for me I've had 1 and 2 since they were released and recently bought tactics which I enjoyed alot, my expectations were low, but it was pretty well done, I mean obviously not fallout but still very good if you like turn based combat.
I'm only 17 but still a huge fan of the fallout series, tactics was a good game in itself but not a patch on the original 2. Personally i'm a bit cautious about fallout 3 as it is constantly being compared to Oblivion, if fallout 3 is going to be a 'reskinned' version of oblivion with a slightly different battle system (Which it seems as if it probably will be) then i will be sorely dissapointed.
p.s. Check out the fallout 1+2 modding community, it's small but there's some pretty nifty things out there (www.nma-fallout.com is a good place to start)
tried to find a couple of these games a while back. I did find one of them, but at a price I didn't want to play. This will give me the chance to play what I've missed.
