Fallout is one of the greatest RPG games out there. It's set in the post-nuclear, dangerous world of violence and radiation. The game consists of a very detailed and interesting storyline, tactical turn-based combat, and revolutionary character creation style. You can play Fallout for months, but still it's not boring because of many ways of finishing the game. You can be a bad-ass gangster, or a world-saving hero. This is a must-see for all RPG games fans, and it's undoubtedly one of the best gaming classics. Unique, amazing storyline makes Fallout addicting! The Linux copy uses the classic DOS version.
Great game! Similar to Fallout 2 but shorter, less expansive, and a bit simpler. I love the original atmosphere of these Fallout games. If you like the combat system, try Fallout Tactics. It has less story, less atmosphere, but focuses on the strategic turn-based combat with the SPECIAL system that made the Fallout series famous!
