A good friend of mine loaned me F1 around November of 1999. Took it home, fired it up, and was HOOKED by the time I killed the rats outside Vault 13. I remember being really creeped out by the scorpion caves when Ian and I went there that first day. Such good memories...sigh.

I still remember buying Fallout2 in that freaking huge, ridiculously oversized titanic box.

I read a preview for Fallout 1 in some magazine, possibly PC Gamer or Computer Gaming Monthly..I pre-ordered it from the local retailer and got it the day it came out. I got into the game right away, killed a bunch of people, then didn't play it for a few months. I wasn't into RPGs at the time, so I didn't care for it at first...Eventually I got bored playing Duke Nukem 3D and decided to start back with Fallout, and BAM, I was addicted...I beat it a few times, then decided to see what sort of cheating utilities there were, and BAM, I was more addicted. Got FO2 the day it came out, also...Played it completely through in one sitting, and repeated a few times...Eventually I got bored, found a few webpages about FO2, found out that people had made mods, and got hooked in again.

I think it was late fall of 2001. I was looking for a good, long RPG and I remembered reading the Fallout preview in the May '97 issue of PC Gamer. It sounded great, and the store was selling it for cheaper than dirt, so I picked it up. I was immersed from the moment I started playing. I still remember eating Hershey's chocolates and poring over the manual, although I didn't understand a good chunk of the "How Nuclear Blasts Work" section.
