Hello Brother None,

That insect creature, isn't that one of the bosses of Contra 4?

 

[Brother None]

No. Final Fantasy something, I think.

Can't wait to see Bethesda's take on Deathclaws. I foresee epic lulz.

Probably something like this.

OlOLZ, but this needs moar armor and big axe, not?

wait, no! let's stop giving bethesda all those ideas, they might be looking at this and then we end up in Fo3 with an armored deathclaw spitting fire at the brotherhood of steel in their fridge-style armor before flying away with its great daemonic wings.

What is with all these pictures of combat? Why aren't they showing dialog? FALLOUT 1 IN NOT IN NAME ONLY!

Wow. I had completely forgotten about that article until now. Thanks for posting!

 

[SuAside]

/me waves at Mr Taylor.

Here, here, and here. Interview with the guy who made them here (I think he's also the guy you see on the third page of this article).

I think Interplay still has 'em, but I guess they could've shipped to Bethesda.

we dont happen to have a pic of Seth finished, do we? cant remember thatone. the deathclaw etc is ofc classic & impossible to forget.

I wonder if that alpha still exists...

 

[Ctaylor]

I wonder if that alpha still exists...

I know it got backed up and archived. I'm pretty sure it still exists. The more difficult problem would be actually finding it. The archive is probably tucked away into some dusty box sitting in a warehouse. Right next to the Ark most likely.

 

[The Dutch Ghost]

Wouldn't that make a wonderful end scene to a movie?

We see the box with the Alpha version and slowly the camera zooms out as the Indiana Jones title music plays.
