The original Fallout belongs to that small canon of games that changed the PC forever. Up there with Civilization, Half-Life, Command and Conquer, The Sims, and Myst, though I personally maintain it’s just as good and worth playing now as it was in 1997, Black Isle and Interplay’s apocalypse RPG is also an object of its time – unforgiving, inscrutable, and sometimes more fuss than fun. Fallout London may set a new standard for total conversion and fan-game mods, but there’s another ambitious project that deserves your attention. A would-be Fallout 1 remake built in FO4, Vault 13 is finally available to try.
