Fallout, originally released in 1997 by Interplay Entertainment was a ground-breaking role playing game for it's time. Featuring a rich plot with memorable characters, social commentary, and moral choices to be made.

While Fallout today may not seem like much, as it's difficult to run, slow to play, and not what newer entries to the series are like, it still holds a place in many players hearts. While some may say the later entries into the series play better, almost no one will argue that the story is better than those of the first two entries.

Fallout used a control system similar to Blizzards Diablo, a simple point and click system to move. It introduced to the world the SPECIAL system, which determines the protagonists stats. SPECIAL stands for: Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility and Luck. These stats determine what your character can and cannot do, as well as determine what they are more skilled in. 

I personally feel that this game should be entered into the hall of fame for it's impact on the gaming world as a whole. Being rated as one of the best PC games of all time, Fallout deserves a spot in the Hall.
