Well, I just bought it this weekend because, well, it was twenty dollars. For three games! Three classic games! On one disc! Games which I'd already thourghouly enjoyed the sequal of.

(I wish they didn't call it the "fallout trilogy," though, since the box only contains three out of five games, each of which have their own independed story, and one of which is a spin-off. But whatever.)

I started playing video games regularly during the Xbox/Gamecube/PS2 era. My first RPG was Fable. And you know what? I'm liking the original Fallout quite a lot so far. I rolled myself up a gunslinger-type fellow named Deadeye Li and am currently roaming around the Sierra Mountains (at least I think these are the Sierras. I'm no expert on Californian geography) blasting apart mutant vermin and having a real good time.

How to kill cave rats:

Step 1: Pick Max Stone as your character.
Step 2: Click on the rats.
Rinse and repeat until you get blinded by daylight.

Speaking of which, check out the first episode of Star Trek on Youtube (yes, it's legal; the folks who uploaded it had every legal right to do so). A third of the comments are people basically saying that they just saw the new movie and have now decided to watch the series for the first time.

And, they don't seem to be dissapointed (though there is much snickering about 24th century "entertainment tapes" and "space turtlenecks.")

Hmm, that's an interesting idea. I don't think video gaming has been around long enough to really confirm this being a cyclical process, but it wouldn't suprise me.

Dude, no one, not even the dumbest doofus in the history of idiocy, is going to have high expectations for the graphics of a computer game from the 1990's. Especially since screenshots of said ugly graphics are prominately displayed on the retail box.

I love that people are playing the originals, I love all three games, and I hope that someone wants to make a CRPG in the style of the first two again but I won't hold my breath, I think people understand that the games were made 10 years ago but the game play is just that good, plus my original copies still play on my Vista, GTX 260 AMD 6000 just fine, even better (FO2 does not take two minutes to load a save game anymore its almost instant : ) ) On the topic of old games like Fallout, I'm playing the old kings quest and space quests games again. However next to the fallout series I think Space Quest 2 is my favorite if only because I would rather fight super mutants than face an army of clone insurance salesmen any day!

Fallout is an okay game, and could be fun if the game wouldn't constantly mess up my save games, rendering them impossible to load & do strange things like swapping my tagged skills with unwanted skills (although that could've been a hallucination).

I like how one can talk one's way out of pretty much every quest. Pretty much like PS:T but without the excruciatingly long dialogue.

Hmm never had any of that happen. Both with old computer and new one.
