A friend of mine told me how wicked the game was. Back then i hated everything that had to do with turnbased gameplay. Then i decided to let go of my grudge against turn based games and play Worms: armageddon. I loved that game and soon after i tried fallout 2. Thats it.
How did you discover Fallout ?

- Start date
in '97 actually i played the demo of fallout 1 many times which was delivered on a cd of the german gamestar magazine. then i forgot about it several years because of no interest in gaming. then i discovered parts 1 and 2 in virgin's white label box. the games have been the only ones which i was really interested in since then until now.
I'm a recent fan of Fallout. I used to be a strictly strategy gamer, but converted to FPS games after playing Deus Ex - an excellent game. For a few years I would only play FPS games, occasionally bringing Age Of Empires off the shelf. Recently, last summer, I was introduced to RPGs by my best mate. He had bought Fallout of the net, and said it was great, I asked if i could borrow it. And from then on, I have become a massive fan of Fallout and anything RPG. 
Here's an interesting one...
Back a long time ago, I wasn't even 'into' computers or computer games; the only reason I even had a computer was because some friend gave it to me for free (it wasn't great, but more on that in a second), I wasn't complaining; not like it was going to cost me anything, so I took it. Anyway, one day, the same friend comes over to my house with his laptop and a gaming mag, with the magazine came a full, free version of the original Fallout...
Now, I was kind of intrigued, so I decided to try the game on his laptop... It was amazing, it was the first time I really got 'in' to a game, there was just so much to do! It wasn't like those other brainless games back then... I knew I had to have it, so I went out and bought the same gaming mag and consequently got my own, free copy of the game with it.
I dusted off the computer I never used... It was a (drum roll) :
DX400 100 MHz
SuperVGA display
15" CRT (with 'stains' in the corners)
16 MB RAM
Windows 95
Capable of 800x600 @ 256 colors
1 GB of hard drive space (when compressed, haha)
Anyway, it was a pain playing it on that PC - the load times would take minutes, many, many minutes... It was awful - but I played for my love of the game, I played it a lot.
I knew I had to upgrade, so I did so (albeit a long time later - and only because Fallout 2 wouldn't even run on the old computer).
Anyway, now I love computers, video games, and especially Fallout... And I have the latter to thank for all of this.

Well my story is simple.
I played wasteland way back in the days of my youth on the C64. I had forgotten that game over the years. Anyways I was into PNP rpgs, including Rifts. Well one of the guys I played the game with told me about this interesting game he'd just picked up that was alot like rifts, only a hell of a lot cooler.
I borrowed his copy of FO2 and was hooked. I still haven't ever played FO1, due to not being able to ever find it. I may have to revert to arcane and evil measures to aquire it. But that is only a horrid last resort.
Strangley I still own my original FO2 disk. I just reloaded it shortly before I re-found this site looking for patches.
BTW thanks to everyone who still supports these awesome games.

early 1998, I was still a newbie regarding computer technology. my brother showed me the new game he got from a frend, called Fallout. he showed me how to control my character in the cave in front of Vault 13. killing rats was an adventure!
the rest is history.
one of the funny facts: my ex-boyfriend came to my place once and we're supposed to be alone for a few hours. what would everybody do? well.......I played Fallout 2 sitting in his lap we were stealing ammo from the slaver guards in the Den

Haha, was this before or after he became your exboyfriend?
I went around to a friend's who introduced me to it. He then became bored of it and decided that once i told him that you had to go to the city begining with N he'd just go off and code and wank. Poor code monkey Le Suave

Homosexuals in the sense of "having relationships with members of the same sex" rather than "having sex with members of the same sex".

@Hotel California: well, that wasn't the reason he became ex
maybe I dumped him for that longhaired pimp - drug dealer in Den, who knows?!why are you so annoyed with the color? I really don't get it. nobody actually pinpointed that out on other forums, not until I've registered here. if you ban me just because I write in color, then do it.

well, I can read my text, so I supposed everybody else can. and other forums have dark background, too. but ok, I can write without color if you really can't see what I'm writing.
sorry, didn't know.

I discovered Fallout in a highly unlikely way.
I was a hardcore gamer as a child and teenager, then lost track of computer games for years (between 1995 and 2002).
I had never heard of Fallout until I met a new working collegue.
I am a German, working in China, guy from Seattle joined my company this autumn.
Happens to be a fallout-addict... seems like a Hubologist to me. Anyways, he got me addicted as well.
What are the odds? Flipside is, my marriage is put on a serious test (combined with my "Hearts of Iron" addiction)

Hm, Not sure how it first started.. I know I played Fallout 1 when I was younger, but it was too hard then.. and I guess I gave up after several cheat attempts hehe wich gets booring after awhile.
And then when I got older I know I saw a Fallout All-In-One box for a good price in a store, so I bought it, and since then I play it from time to time..
Its something magicall with fallout ...

While searching for things to do, me and my friend (we were 13 or so I think) came across the demo of fallout on the net. Played it so many times (Junktown is the bomb! and we so digged the minigun.. !).
Couple of weeks (again we were bored), we decided to go to the local kids/games store and found the actual game! we split the costs and bought the game together. Unfortunately our english wasn't well enough to fully understand the game, but we did have a lot of fun!
couple of years later I bought Fallout 1 and 2, been playing both a lot, when looking for fallout 3 I cam across NMA, while reading through the site I noticed my fallout 2 couldnt have children, so I ordered another fallout2 from the US.

I sincerly hope you realise now that all you needed to do was download the patch - all of the censored copies can be patched to include children. Hope you didn't spend too much on it; what was the packaging cost?
