I recently had the pleasure of playing this for the first time-- after already being familiar with the next-gen iterations. The atmosphere and story achieved here are top notch... but, whew, the awful GUI just doesn't hold up, nor does the abysmal follower AI.

You are sent to retrieve a chip from another Vault. And you venture outside, to face a dangerous world and to find your place in it.
Fallout is a RPG that utilizes a character development system called S.P.E.C.I.A.L. (the word is formed from the first letters of the game's most important character attributes). You can customize your character's parameters and skills, making him a strong melee fighter, a computer freak, a charismatic leader, a skillful sniper, and many more. You can specialize in various types of weapons, become proficient in conversations with people, etc. The game world offers a non-linear exploration: you can either follow the main story or perform one of the many sub-quests, visiting the game's locations in your preferred order. The game utilizes a turn-based combat system. Your party members (if you recruit any) are controlled by the computer AI. Each action (movement, attack, using a healing item, etc.) costs you action points; once they are depleted, your turn ends.... (more)(less)
