If, by some chance you and I have been living under the same rock and you know as little about Fallout as I do, it’s a post-apocalyptic RPG set in the aftermath of a massive nuclear war. Humanity has been saved by dwelling in large, secure vaults. You play as one of these (highly customizable stats-wise) “Vault Dwellers” (at least you do in the first game, I assume the rest of the games follow suit). The first game was released in 1997, and here we are, nearly 20 years later, and it still has a huge fan following with the fourth installment in the series released at time of writing to a massive positive response.

More Fallout Mod goodness…
Fallout is the most popular depiction of the nuclear devastation, but this wasteland didn’t appear out of nowhere and has a story behind it.
Still remains one of my most beloved games of all time, and only superseded by its fine-tuned successor, Fallout 2. I will admit that upon first play in '97, I was less than impressed by the slow-pacing of the combat and the stiff difficulty. I revisited the game a year later after having gained massive interest in turn-based RPGs following an incredible experience I found in another legendary game called Final Fantasy VII. This time, there was an immediate attraction and fascination in Fallout, and one that legitimately shaped me and my passion for gaming. Of course, at the time I began Fallout, Fallout 2 had recently released... and so immediately following my completion of F1, I dove right back into the irradiated Nevada wasteland in search of the Garden of Eden Creation Kit, otherwise referred to as the G.E.C.K. in F2. I've been hooked ever since, and oddly enough, I tend to revisit F2 every few years - a game which still holds up on a variety of levels (not graphically, of course), but in nearly every other aspect - and still find myself losing track of the time and obsessing about it just as I did in my teens; And in my opinion, the only true measure of a game worthy of its legendary status.
Damn it, definitely installing fallout 1
Get this( and Fallout 2) on Vita please please Sony and Bethesda, some how.
The game has aged pretty well actually. The only thing that kinda sucks is that you have to hurry up and get a waterchip in the beginning.
