My brother had gotten a copy of Wasteland, and he and I took turns having fun with that little title. Then in 1995, I'd played the demo to Fallout. I never really got sucked in by the demo (I was sick of turn-based games at the time), so I'd missed out on this title for a good long time. While I was deployed in Iraq, a friend of mine was stoked that he'd gotten ahold of a fresh copy of this game, and he talked me into giving the full game a try. I gave it another chance, in between real-life patrols, and started really getting into this game. There's a wealth of great story, and some really gritty fun nestled into this isometric, turn-based classic. If you haven't tried it, definitely give it a whirl. This series has grown to be one of my all-time faves.
