Fallout (I preferred Fallout 2 - it lasted a lot longer than the original, and there weren't those annoying time constraints) is basically an RPG based somewhere in the future, where a nuclear holocaust has wiped out most of the world, and the nuclear fallout (hence the name) keeps what remains hostile and barely inhabitable. There are these things called Vaults - sort of like really big bomb shelters, but all poorly made and inadequately stocked. You're an inhabitant of one of these Vaults, and you're sent out to find a part for a broken down computer. Great game. I loved the idea. Very original and well thought-out.
