Gaming History: Fallout 1 “20 years of post-nuclear greatness”

Fallout 1 - We are quickly approaching the 20th anniversary of them Fallout series. Two decades of a game series that contoured an amazing world, designed to give you the freedom to shape a bleak future for the better, of the worse. It all started here, with a game that wasn’t afraid to ask big questions, to let you play however you wished, and at the same time let you kill someone by punching them really hard in the groin. 

Game Description: Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game is an open world role-playing video game developed and published by Interplay Productions in 1997. The game has a post-apocalyptic and retro-futuristic setting, in the aftermath of a global nuclear war in an alternate history timeline mid-22nd century. The protagonist of Fallout is an inhabitant of a Vault, long-term shelters, who is tasked to find the Water Chip to save other dwellers from water shortage.

Fallout is considered to be the spiritual successor to the 1988 role-playing video game Wasteland. It was initially intended to use Steve Jackson Games' system GURPS, but Interplay eventually used an internally developed system SPECIAL. The game was critically acclaimed and a financial success. It was followed by a number of sequels and spin-off games, the Fallout series.
