Meanwhile on the Internet...

Browsing around the many blogs i follow i came across a post about Fallout. The original Fallout from 1997. which is pretty much a classic by today's standards. So in the spirit of celebrating classic PC games, i wanted to write about Wasteland, which was Fallout's spiritual predecessor. A post apocalyptic RPG first released in 1988. Now i don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't played it, but suffice it to say, i spent many many hours in front of the computer, playing this amazing game.

Now i haven't played it in a while, but looking around some of the back alleys of the net, i've found myself a copy of the game.  I'm not sure how well it'll run on modern hardware, but i'm pretty sure dosbox will take care of it. (ooh ooh memo to self, post about dosbox.)  If you like fallout or RPGs in general, you owe it to yourself to play this game. If you can find it. (it's out there i promise.) and it's less than 3 megs. So go forth and play. I guarantee you'll have a good ole time.
