An RPG with turn based combat, guns and and the ability to slaughter children.

Simply an RPG classic, worth every dollar.

Great

Substance over blingbling

This is one of the top 10 rpg games of all time, some say the best. It is a testemant to why substance is so much greater than bling, and is considered one of the defining games of the genre. Of all the RPGs I have played, this is one of two that has a permanent spot of my Hard Disk (other being Torment). If you have never played it you owe it to yourself to do so, if only to see what makes for a truly great game.

Yes, the graphics are out-dated. Yes the battle is turn-based. Yes, this is the example of how it is to be done. You will in fact appreciate turn based battle after experiencing Fallout and Fallout2. And you will see how these graphics in fact add to the game play not take away from it. They set the atmosphere of the game (dirty).

There is something very satisfying about hearing the "SPLAT" followed by the "AAAAAAAAH" as a circle of flesh blows out from the side of an advancing Mutant, caused by your Shotgun blast (with the gun affectionately known as the Pancor JackHammer).

And just as satisfying is the "ZZZZT" "UUUUUUUUUH" you get from frying some punk, using your energy weapon. A great four seconds of animation as you watch the vermin's body zizzle from top down then bottom up, skelotal remains finalling falling to the ground in a "THUMP".

Or if you prefer the really big guns, you can go for something like the Flame Thrower. Good Golly Molly, how long can that guy run around burning aflame before he becomes a final crispy critter mess.

And unlike many games with sequels, both these games are very worth playing. You will enjoy all aspects of the game from character creation, to battle, to quests, to researching online how to enhance your game playing experience. Get it while you can. It is becomming more and more rare.

Both of these games are amazing. Great stories, great gameplay, and funny to boot. A little dated for today's standards, but still very immersive and entertaining. Buy this two-pack now!!!

This ain't no cake walk, but it is rewarding

This is a very fun game. Just don't expect fast paced action here.
If you like time to think about all your actions and plan out your
approch you will love this game.

A Very Fun and Entertaining Game for The Price!

Both games in this bundle are very fun. A great RPG. Once in a while the screen goes black and where I move the mouse, sort of erases the black, so it seems to have a glitch with my dell computer but all-in-all the game is awesome! I think the glitch is probably with my computer so don't hesitate to buy if you like RPG's.

wow- awesome games

There's not a whole lot I can say about the Fallout games that hasn't already been said here. I mean- violence, sex, humor, a compelling storyline, an original setting, open-ended gameplay- you name it, Fallout's got it. No one should consider themselves a fan of RPGs until they've at least given these classics a try, especially the second one. If it's not the best computer role-playing game I've ever played, it's definately in the neighborhood.

Best RPG for PC since it was published

I just completed Fallout one. It is great game, although some skills are useless.

I began w perception 8 and intelligence 7 and I lacked action points. I lacked ONE point of strength to use large energy weapons and carry enough (or two? check FAQs), and I had to get power armor early in order to get +3 strength bonus.

I got small guns up to 100 and lockpick around 70 near beginning. It is good to have repair 70 too, but that you can build later.

Energy weapons are essential, esp when you find Alien Blaster, and it is good to have it at 125 percent, esp before Military base.

Don't put skill points in melee weapons or fistfight, you will not use it at all.

There are much ways to finish Fallout 1, but (minor spoiler) you can take out Military base firs (forget field disabling, there is bug in game), get robe there, get in cathedral and: go up and find key OR have lockpick skill at 150, which is usefull later and go to basement.

NEVER THROW LOCKPICKS AWAY! Some stuff , like dynamite and plastic explosives were useless as far as I went thru game. It is good to have small and micro fusion cells. Always collect stimpacks and, in battle, go to inventory and click them and use them by highlighting open hand, that's the way u can use em as many as u want.

The best weapons are: Desert Eagle, Sub Machine gun, SNIPER!, plasma rifle, laser rifle (for range), gatling lasers and alien blaster if ure lucky.

End is unexpected ...

Fallout 2

is sequel to Fallout 1 and not so cool since solutions were more logical in Fallout 1. Here you CAN use muscular guy with spear and all skills can have use if you combine them. You also must have computers and lockpick around 70 percent, as far as I remember. Sniper rifle is cool and you get REAL weapons after you complete 20 percent of game...you can use small guns only, there is rifle that packs mean punch although its not laser or big gun class...end is satirical...

Fallout 2 is more like extension of fallout 1 with more to do, than a game of its own but...its good and its second best old school RPG on PC as far as I know

BUY! It's cheap and I beat Fallout 1 on WIN XP.

And one more thing: you can adjust difficulty level, although normal is ok, and you can TURN OFF BLOOD, SWEARING, AND VIOLENT ANIMATIONS(=DYING SCENES A LA MORTAL KOMBAT IN BATTLES).

Why didn't I rate this game five star? Well, because of Final Fantasy VII, FF IX, Playstation's Persona and older games that started it all=Bard's Tale that appeared on Commodore 64 and PC and Eye of Beholder for lamented Amiga and old PCs.

Buy this game... N-O-W!!!

If you haven't played Fallout, then you are missing on perhaps the best RPG you can ever imagine... Sure the graphics are horrible by today's standards... But after 1 or 2 hours of playing... The game will suck you in and twist your 512MB-VidCard Spoiled little mind to the point that it will stop caring about the graphics... COMPLETELY! I MEAN IT!

I'm not going to go into detail as to what makes this game so unimaginable great... Many other reviewers have done it already, AND the game has a perfect 5-star rating, so you shouldn't even be wondering! Friggin' buy it already!

Don't believe me yet? I got this game for $9.99 at Best Buy when the "Value Software Section" still existed... Today, unless you're a really lucky individual, the game goes for $30 up... I am positive that its value will continue to appreciate until it becomes a rare jewel. So GET IT WHILE IT IS STILL REACHABLE!

I hope that by now you are about to click the "buy now" button or are headed over to other websites to get a copy.

Two things I do tell you...

ONE, AND MOST IMPORTANT: Play the games IN ORDER!

TWO, AND YOU WILL REMEMBER ME WHEN YOU GET INTO THE GAME: Don't trust your party members with Big-n-Heavy Automatic Weapons...
