Never thought I'd be playing this but props to the Fallout TV show for motivating me to play FO1. Good experience; it does a good job serving as the catalyst for the rest of the series. I was very impressed with this game, especially with it being from the late 90s.

Props to Tim Cain and the team who made this. I thought that it would be very barebones but I know understand why the rest of the series (the games that I’ve played at least) are so fleshed out and have such robust lore. FO1 is a masterclass in starting a franchise
