Fallout is a series of computer role-playing games produced and published by Interplay. Although set in and after the 22nd century, its story and artwork are heavily influenced by the post-world war II nuclear paranoia of the 1950s. The series is sometimes considered to be an unofficial sequel to Wasteland, but it could not use that title as Electronic Arts held the rights to it, and, except for minor references, the games are set in separate universes. There were two role-playing titles in the series (Fallout and Fallout 2), one squad-based tactical combat spinoff ( Brotherhood of Steel) and one action dungeon-crawler for PlayStation 2 and Xbox ( Brotherhood of Steel). A sequel, Fallout 3, is currently being developed by Bethesda Softworks. Bethesda owns the rights to make Fallout games, although Interplay retained the right to publish a massively multiplayer online role-playing game version of Fallout. In 2001, PC Gamer named Fallout and Fallout 2 as the fourth best computer game of all time.

Storyline

---

The background story of Fallout involves a "what-if" scenario in which the United States tries to devise fusion power resulting in a hegemonic United States that has less reliance on petroleum. However, this is not achieved until 2077, shortly after an oil drilling conflict off the Pacific Coast pits the United States against China. It ends with a nuclear exchange resulting in the post-apocalyptic world the game takes place in—although it is said in Fallout 2 that nobody knew who sent the first missile. In Fallout 2 one conversation train with the Skynet computer results in Skynet stating that the war may have started because computers with Artificial Intelligence may have grown bored. However, as the Skynet computer was a parody of the computer system of the same name in the movie "The Terminator", Skynet's claim may not be true.
