Although I am a fan of post nuclear holocaust type games, and have played all the Fallout series, until I played this I didn't realize how much every game that came after owes to this. Fantastic story, fun gameplay, and I relished every moment playing it, and was a bit sorry when I was done. Played this, played all the fallouts, played wasteland 2 . . . guess I'll haver to buy wasteland 3 to satify the monkey on my back! No idea why it is getting bad reviews, I guess some don't realize how revolutionary this was for it's time. I'll be playing it again, I can tell you that.
