Tim Cain, creator

Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game is a 1997 role-playing video game developed and published by Interplay Productions. Set in a mid-22nd century post-apocalyptic world, it revolves around the player character seeking a replacement computer chip for their underground nuclear shelter's water supply system. The gameplay involves interacting with other survivors and engaging in turn-based combat. The development of Fallout started in 1994 as a game engine designed by Tim Cain. It was originally based on GURPS, though the character customization scheme was changed after the GURPS license was terminated. Fallout drew artistic inspiration from Atomic Age media and is considered a spiritual successor to Wasteland (1988). The game was a critical and commercial success and spawned a successful series of sequels and spin-offs. It has since been credited for renewing consumer interest in computer role-playing games.

Support the blurb needs some copyediting and I don't think the image is needed, but otherwise supporting. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 23:14, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AirshipJungleman29: I've copyedited the blurb. Is it better? Lazman321 (talk) 02:02, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Much. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 02:17, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - @AirshipJungleman29, what was the problem with the image? - Dank (push to talk) 16:35, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    - I just didn't think it was needed. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:37, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      - Lazman, are you happy with the image? - Dank (push to talk) 17:32, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        @Dank: Personally, I was fine with the image, but I didn't know if there was a specific guideline for images besides the free-use requirement, which is why I removed it. If there isn't, I'm fine with it being readded. Lazman321 (talk) 21:04, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. It's difficult in general finding images for video games, and people can't comment on what they can't see. If anyone finds an image they prefer to this one, please give us a link to the image and an argument in favor. - Dank (push to talk) 21:09, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose I would prefer to have this on the original release date, rather than the date for some random adaptation not even listed in the infobox. QuicoleJR (talk) 14:00, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
