RPGWatch talk about the good old days @ Fallout

Our friends over at RPGWatch have posted a new article on their site looking back on the RPG Fallout: A post nuclear adventure. It is well worth a read if you have a few minutes to spare.

I guess I’m what you might call a “late bloomer”. I didn’t care about grades until my Junior year of High School. I didn’t have a serious relationship until my second year of college. And, here’s the kicker, I didn’t get my first computer until my first year out of the Coast Guard. The year was 1998. The Beastie Boys were belting out Intergalactic across the airwaves, Saving Private Ryan changed the way a new generation looked at war and the way many FPS games are made, and Windows 98 continued Microsoft’s time-honored tradition of gifting us with the infamous “blue screen of death”. Following in a long tradition of firsts, I felt it only fitting that I should select for my opening article here at RPGWatch a retrospective on the first CRPG I have ever played. Though the game gobbled up my quantifiably limited hard drive space with the ‘humungous’ installation option and a year had already passed since it went gold, 1998 was the year I fell for Fallout.
