I just bought Fallout 2 for $20AUD ($US10)

and installed it since I'd heard so many great things about it. I couldn't believe the specs required - 16MB RAM, 30MB disk space, Pentium 90, DirectX FIVE. Anyway, on to my problem. The boffins who sold me the game didn't put a manual in the box, so I've been wandering around trying to work out the interface, which is not as intuitive as the Infinity Engine interface. I don't even know how to pick stuff up.

There's an online manual but it's in Adobe Acrobat format and will take about 5 hours to print on my home printer.

So. I was wondering if there were any Fallout 2 veterans around who can give me a quick summary of how the interface works for movement and combat (combat is ESPECIALLY hard - it took me about 5 minutes to kill a giant ant).

Please help!!
