Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game

Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game, or simply Fallout, is a point and click Roll-playing game released by Interplay on September 30, 1997. Seen as a spiratual successor to Interplay's 1987 game Wasteland, this game marks the first installment of a new series, the Fallout franchise. 
== Plot ==
Fallout takes place eight-four years after the atomic apocalypse of October 23, 2077. In this year of 2161, Vault 13, an underground fallout shelter in southern California, the home of the protagonist, loses power in its water chip. The Vault Dweller, named decided on by the player, is tasked to retrieve a new chip in 500 days or else his people will die of thirst. The Vault Dweller is given several moral descisions and tasks that he must decide are right or wrong to aid the good of his people.
== Gameplay ==
The overall gameplay is similar to that of most 90s roll-playing games, a turn-based action adventure experience. A new system for character traits, titled the SPECIAL system, was created for this game. SPECIAL is an acronym of Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck, and each of these seven characteristics determine every other aspect of what the player's character is.
== Production ==
The prodcution team of Fallout featured nearly 100 members, working with everything from concept design to voice acting. Thought several members didn't stick around to see Fallout 2, about one third of the original team worked on the sequel developed with Black Isle Studios.
