Bytez dropped us a hint at the forum about a PocketGamer.org review of the beta version of Fallout: Back to U.S.S.R., a game which attempts to bring Fallout to PDAs.

<center></center><blockquote>Fallout has been a great hit on the desktop. On the Pocket PC, there are very few similar games. It's probably only Nuclear Time by Mallocware that is similar (and, to some degree, Pyromania), but it's "only" a non-animated German language RPG (without a really decent and up-to-date English version) than a real Fallout-alike. (See the Roundup of All PPC Games Part I for more info on the two mentioned PPC games.)

Now, a real, free (!) Fallout clone has emerged from Russia. Russia has lately been exceptionally active on the Pocket PC gaming scene: it was just a few weeks ago that Death Drive, a really excellent Carmageddon / Destruction Derby / Twisted Metal / Death Rally clone and some days ago the first WarCraft III clone have been released. (...)

As with Death Drive, this title has set a new standard for free games. If you do speak / understand Russian and happen to have a pre-WM5 device, definitely give this title a go. If you don't but love Fallout, consider starting to study the language</blockquote>

Visit PocketGaming.de for the download. As the game uses Fallout's artwork, I suppose you ought to own Fallout to do so...

Mmh... sounds like a good point to learn Russia..

Does anybody know a linux-emulator for PocketPC?
 
Soon, soon and a piece of post apocaliptic world will be able to travel with me whrever i go :D
 
So, is it legal for them to do this?
I wonder what Beth, as the owners of the licence, think of this.

As long as they don't distribute it with any original content (making you have to own the game to actually play) they're doing IPLY a favour, in fact :)

Though the use of "Fallout" in the title is questionable... Not like IPLY can afford a liar, excuse me, lawyer.

You need Pocket PC or Windows Mobile-based PDA or Windows CE emulator to play on desktop.

I answered about copyrights in the FAQ, check the latest news.
