Happy birthday, Fallout!

[vegetablearian]

It's Fallout's 25th anniversary this month! 25 years of Fallout!

3 other story games are celebrating their birthdays this month, too: Fallout 2 will turn 24, Fallout 3 will be 14, and Fallout: New Vegas will be 12. (Fallout 4, baby of the family, has its 7th birthday in November.)

Have you been a fan for the whole 25 years? Many Fallout fans are years away from their own 25th birthdays :) I expect many people working on the next game will be younger than the series, too!

Tell us how you became a fan!

Some questions (totally optional):

• When did you first play a Fallout game? Which one was it?
• Were you hooked from the start, or did it grow on you?
• Do you remember how you heard about Fallout?
• Have you ever encouraged someone else to play any of these games? (And, successfully? :D)

I'm rarely subscribed to any streaming service - I don't watch a lot of telly - but I'll keep my eye out for MacGyver then :)

Tactics is very odd. I think I mentioned to you previously when I was about to start it and you said you weren't keen. For me I think it's the combat system itself which obviously makes the whole game pretty pointless. But putting it into the more FO1/2 turn based mode actually made it even less fun somehow, so I just went back to FO1!

i think a lot of ppl sign up for like a month and watch a bunch of stuff, then cancel =)

ah - probably. i think Tactics is one of those where they had a good idea, but it was limited by the tech of the time.

Yeah :( The cutscenes I watched were pretty funny, and I liked the character customisation, but yeah, the combat is just not as fun as it needs to be to carry the whole game like that.
