Played fallout 1 and 2 and then months later played them again and then a year later played them both again... they never get old because you can play them with a different character and with different skills over and over and over again. Fallout 2 is superior to Fallout 1 because it is the exact same game just with MUCH MORE content. Fallout 2 is bar none one of if not THE greatest game I have ever played. If you really get into it almost feels as if you are living in your character. I hope fallout 3 doesnt dissapoint me.

I second the no mention of Wasteland.

I've played Wasteland, FO 1 & 2 but not Tactics or BoS.


+1 for this one.

Started playing Wasteland on the C=64 where the game was delivered on FOUR 5,25" floppys, and required four more empty floppys (that was A LOT for that time!!!). Then played FO1 and FO2 on PC (still have the games...) Wasteland rocked....

I have the budget triple pack (F1&2&Tactics). I've tried so desperately to get into Fallout 1 but I just lose interest very quickly.

Edit: That's not a slight against the game in any way, but rather my own retarded attention span.

I played FO1, and completed what I thought was the main quest. But... no. There was something I had forgotten to do earlier in the game that kept me from getting the ending. I never figured out what it was, 'cause I was too young.

Fallout 2 however I've played and completed a couple of times now. One without mods, and second time with Megamod.

About the only thing I liked about Tactics was the combat and the graphics. But it wasn't open ended and I didn't like controlling a squad.

All three (well not f3 yet, but i'm going to buy it today). I began my pc gaming with quake 1. I think the year was 96. So I've seen quite many classics over the years :). but i must confess that I didn't play fallouts when they were released. Before early 2000 I was merely playing adventures and first person shooters..It was late 2000 when I saw "the light of roleplaying games". That significant incident for me was baldur's gate series. I was literally blown away. So from that moment I began searching rpgs that I had missed like fallout 2 and planescape torment, and ofcourse started following new rpg releases like Morrowind.

Fallout 2 has been my favorite game since it was released in '98. I've played it multiple times through and just recently beat it again the other week.
I've played and beaten Fallout 1 as well; but not nearly as much/often as Fallout 2.

Fallout 3 is going to be a ridiculous nostalgic centerfold for me. I can't wait until my paycheck comes later today :P

I've played Fallout 1 & 2, and I thought the Vault to those memories had been permanently sealed long ago. My dad actually introduced his little girl to the series when I reached G.O.A.T.-taking age, so playing Fallout 3 has actually been an emotional experience for me. I moved to Europe from America four months ago to get a college degree and be with my boyfriend, and I've been missing home and family. All the nostalgic nods and the overall faithfulness to the spirit of the series has been really wonderful for me, and the entire sequence with your father being so important, raising you in the Vault and all, had this strange harmony with my life. Hell, even the fact that the manual was in Dutch was helpful, since I'm just at the right point where I can mostly read it, and it's a good exercise for my language class.

Oblivion paled after you got used to it. Too many big, empty spaces, not enough storylines and real characters. I think Bethesda has soundly kicked their own blockbuster's ass with this one. I'm not done the game yet, but it's my feeling so far that the bar has been raised. The difference between this and most games is like the difference between The Dark Knight and most movies. This is the kind of amazing depth, detail, and personality I would like to see find its way into the Elder Scrolls series. Also, V.A.T.S. rules. It's so ridiculously fun that I went back and pumped 10 points into Agility so I would have a scadillion APs.

Way to aim high and hit the mark. I hope Leonard Boyarsky and everybody, despite surely being justifiably disappointed that Interplay sold the license to their beloved and handcrafted series, feel like Bethesda has done them proud.

I was bought up on classic games like Fallout. Played both games through at least 3 times each. Each time with a different character type and always looking for the elusive encounters, Star trek shuttle wreck, the alien gun, dead whales, etc.

Fallout is classic stuff. Pick a list of the best ten games of all time and the only problem is deciding what the other nine are.
Going to be a tough act to follow and I doubt FO3 is as good. I doubt there could ever be a sequel as good as the first two games given that games these days are about graphics and effects first and actual gameplay a distant second.

But with the collectors edition suitcase on my desk and my first voyage into the world of FO3 a click away, I'd happily eat my words if I'm wrong. It'll be worth it!

Never played the classic Fallout titles, but I played and enjoyed Oblivion. My first impressions of Fallout 3 have been very positive.

Voted for all three. :)

Got addicted to the Fallout series when my brother's friend lent us his Fallout 1 CD. Then I bought my classmate's Fallout 2 CD 2 years after. Then I bought Fallout Tactics 4-6 years after having played Fallout 2. Happened to chance upon it at a PC gameshop. Oh and yeah I got to play a bit of Wasteland, it was enjoyable to some extent.

Fallout 1 & 2 are personally the best RPG's I have ever played. Fallout Tactics is also extremely FUN, especially if you're into modding. It comes along with its own editing tool. I edited items; weapons, armor, vehicles, and created my own map! It's just so cool. Hope it had more of an RPG feeling to it though. Being mission based kinda' ruined it for me.

Haven't played Fallout 3, though. Still waiting for it to be released here. =/

Played all of them and loved them, but wouldn't exactly call my self a "veteran"... the only game I would refer to myself in that regard is DooM 2 :hehe:
Loving Fallout 3. It shares some qualities with S.T.A.L.K.E.R., but comes of as a bit more brighter and humor filled game, sort off like the old Fallouts. The atmosphere was dark when you barely touched upon it, but within everything there was a dark, morbid sense of humor, which is one of the thing that really dragged me into the series.

Yeah.. Played Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics and Wasteland.
Still love 'em all!

Never actually played Obliveon, but really enjoyed Morrowind. Looking forward to install and play Fallout 3 when I get home after work this evening.

Would like to at least try BoS since once since it still has the "Fallout" title.

I loved Wasteland when I was a kid. Fallout 1 and 2 were great and I'm enjoying the third one so far. I was also a big Oblivion fan.

I've played Fallout 1 and Tactics. FO 1 is way better than tactics but i have the White Label disc with all three games on it and FO2 seems to be corrupted or something as it does not work.

Hiyas all!!

I played em all too..

BUT...THERE IS ONE MORE!!

I wonder how many of you remembers the pre fallout 1 game called wasteland ??? (came nicely on, one 3.5 disk, or two 5 1/4 disks)

I think this was the first of the s.c. post nuclear games that came. :)

Played all 3. Loved all of them. I'm actually sad Tactics strayed from the Lore because the storyline is actually very good.
