In my opinion, Fallout Tactics, is by far, the better of the older series (including the weird one on PS2). Was extremely happy to pick this one back up, along with the other two. Despite the many issues these games have, they are still fun and a good way to kill some time (and some raiders too). A definite must have in the library, and for the price, why wouldn't you?
I remember the first time I played this, I thought it was a masterpiece, even now the nostalgia of this game had me buy it as soon as I saw it on here, it is unfortunate that the second installment isn't available. If you have never played Diablo, or have only played the third one, this is a great one to pickup for the price it currently is. If you are expecting Diablo 3 graphics in this, then you will be very disappointed as this game was made in the mid' 90's. I never finished this as a kid, but since picking it up on here, I can happily say I have finally killed or contained Diablo, which now gives me the transition I always needed into Diablo II.
So I picked this game up on sale after reading its little blurb thinking meh, it sounds interesting so why not.... I played it for about 10 minutes and remember thinking "this is not the game for me" turned it off and went back to the PS. A week or so later I gave it another shot, and I am so happy that I did. I went all in on this game and played until the end in one session, it is so refreshing and peacuful not having to shoot things or run from zombies or craft a whole bunch of crap thats ultimately useless anyway. This is a semi-interactive story, where not much changes based on your choices but the first playthrough was just beautiful, I loved it. The story itself had me guessing for quite some time as to what the main plot was, my mind went everywhere from aliens to insanity. I did not pick what was actually going on until it was right infront of me... The lack of other NPC's in this game other than Delilah on the Radio, or the two silhoutte scenes, gave this game a very "on you own" feel to it. To sum up, without looking into what this game "could" have been, what it is, in my opinion, is great. It is simple, great little story, beautifully done with a nice peaceful music score. This game definitely left me wanting more, though i believe Zakmckracken, below, has absolutlely nailed the review.
