Fallout

Adventure Game from Interplay, by Black Isle Studios

Futuristic RPG. Set on post-apocalyptic Earth, the game's premise is that your character has been sent out from a colony shelter (Vault 13) to explore the outside world and secure supplies. The game is divided into a series of time-limited quests. You start by creating your character. You can adjust the spread of seven skills/attributes, and as a result there is significant diversity of the available characters. You also choose from a range of special skills. During the game other NPCs will join your party. The game boasts a good character development system.

The gameplay primarily involves exploration, interaction with other characters and turn-based combat. Another notable aspect, is the bartering system that comes into play when securing goods for your colony. The game incorporates numerous types of weaponry, ranging from a simple pistol to rocket launchers.

The game is played on an isometric landscape. There are also high-quality cutscenes interspersing the action. The graphics and audio are good.
