Product Description:
3 Action Packed Fallout Games in 1 Collection! Set in the aftermath of a world-wide nuclear war, Fallout will challenge you to survive in an unknown and dangerous world. Continuing in the tradition of the Fallout series of role-playing games, Fallout Tactics is a squad-based, third-person tactical combat game with RPG character development and a mission-based story line. Fallout - A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game is the sequel to Fallout. It's been 80 long years since your ancestor, the 'Vault Dweller' trod across the wastelands. As you now search for the Garden of Eden Creation Kit to save your primitive village, touch choices and even tougher consequences await you.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Still a fun potentially anarchic classic, after all these years
So...you've taken the nth run-through of Oblivion and are thinking how wonderful it is to play in a sandbox? Black Isle originally perfected this style of gaming many years ago in Fallout.

What made the Fallout games unique were not just its post-apocalyptic setting, but its character creation scheme - called S.P.E.C.I.A.L (Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Ability and Luck). You get some totally hilarious perks - my favourite is Bloody Mess. I have many fond ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Probably better in the original platform
I ordered this after reading the rave reviews and the anticipation of Fallout 3 and I am somewhat disappointed. I can't load Fallout 2 using XP; it says the correct fonts are not present. As to Fallout 1, I haven't quite gotten how to do the time-based combat and the game seems slow, but I guess I should take the time to print out the 100+ page manual and learn. The screen sometimes goes blank which means I have to "paint" the screen again. The look of the game and the manual is nicely Cold War. ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Fallout in all it's glory, but realize it's nearly 12 years old now!
Enough has already been said about the games themselves in the last review of this title. I suspect that it is no coincidence that interest is high in the original PC titles since Bethesda released the spectacular Fallout 3.

Be advised, these games are old and "old school" PC RPG's. They have the tried & true isometric view of their peers such as Diablo, Warcraft, Baldur's Gate and other titles of their ilk.

But one thing that reviews have failed to mention for the ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sand & Slag
What a great collection and at a great price, too! I encountered only small technical issues while playing the game on Windows XP--like certain resolution problems and getting the games to run in windowed mode-- but they work great now. I also discovered some bonus material on the DVD like Fallout Tactics bonus CD material which you can find if you "Explore" the dvd. All-in-all, Great buy and great game series!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Buy this disc for Tactics. 1 & 2 are a waste of time.
Tactics is still the best computer based video game out there. It's coming up on 10 years old, but still complely immerses the player in the post-nuclear world. The real time option is the way to go. Customize and control your squad in this immense game. I am not a fan of turn based games. I never saw the point of taking turns in a firefight. You wouldn't do that it real life would you? Keep your squad moving, finding cover, charging in with guns blazing, it's up to you. Tough guy mode rewards ... Read More
