Original and best Fallout game
Ah, Fallout. Fallout is a complex game to learn in the beginning, but once you got the hang of it the game sticks with you. It's a game of exploration with no handholding or map marker to guide you. The only instruction you receive in the beginning is "the water chip might be in a nearby vault" and that is pretty much it. A lot of people like Fallout 2 better than Fallout 1, but I seriously have to disagree. Fallout 1 is a very mature game, the fun and jokes of Fallout 2 are there, but not so obvious. The environments stay with you because they make you feel like you are on an important quest. With the exception of Junktown all locations play an important part in the game - you never feel like you are wasting your time. Unlike Fallout 2 the game also ends when you are "done" with it and the 8-10 hours of gameplay (for an experienced player) is just perfect. Fallout is an amazing experience that make you want to play more, or play the game in a different way. A tip for beginners regarding character creation is to set up your guide according to the following (gifted sniper): Traits - fast shot (fire more, but no aimed shots) - gifted (get more SPECIAL points) SPECIAL S: 5 P: 8 E: 4 C: 2 I: 9 A: 10 L: 9 Tag skills - small guns - repair - lockpick And when you are out there... say hello to ZAX from me.

Still great game in 2020...
GOOD: The whole game. The graphics, atmosphere, music, story. It's still great after 23 years... BAD: The censorship is unnecessary and it crashes quite a bit on Win10. I feel that the publisher should make the ultimate official patch after 23 yrs and still selling this game and it's sequels.

Yes, this version is incomplete, but...
Just use Fallout Fixt, you guys. I bought the game from here on GOG then got Fallout Fixt and it runs without lots of the problems mentioned in reviews here. Kids, swears, drugs, all of it is still in Fallout Fixt.

what makes the original so special?
I still remember the first time I found the water chip. I had explored so many leads, rummaged around almost every town, wandered aimlessly through the wastes... and time was running out. I had all but given up, and figured my vault was going to die of thirst in a few weeks. Then, it happened. As I was in the middle of helping out some other people I ran into, I FOUND A WORKING WATER CHIP. I legitimately felt like I had saved the fucking day. This game has a unique feeling to it that is hard to pin down, but I think it obviously resonates with people as it spawned so many follow-ups and attempts to recapture the original's spirit. Exploring a derelict vault in Fallout really feels like the world has ended, and you're sifting through the wreckage. The humor is what you might expect in that environment: dark and macabre; trying to sarcastically emotionally cope with the bleak reality by laughing at it. Constantly juxtaposed with the dead world is the happy-go-lucky style and tones of 50s Americana, and you can't help but internalize the sardonic, cynical irony of it all. That's what I think the original gets right that none of it's successors managed. It's hilarious, and immersive, and dark ... but it's also deeply, deeply sad. It has an emotional weight at its core that is at odds with the amount of humor and fun there is in the game, and to me that highlights just how precious those lighter moments are. I also believe this more than any other cRPG I've played lets you truly develop the character you want to be, and not just a version of the character the game wants you to be. It's not something that will be able to be appreciated by everyone. The graphics and some of the systems it uses are definitely not the most accessible, but I think if you are looking for what the game does provide, it is a unique experience that will resonate long after you walk off into the sunset to the tune of the Ink Spots.
