The first Fallout game from 1997 can now be played for free online via GameTap’s “play free” section.
Here’s what you do in the RPG that’s rated M for Mature with Animated Blood & Gore. “It’s the year 2161, 84 years after a two-hour-long war that destroyed most of civilization. Mankind soldiers on, living out a hardscrabble life on the surface or holing up in great Vaults built inside caves. You’re a member of Vault 13 somewhere in Southern California, and the Vault Overseer’s got a job for you: find a replacement water purification chip within 150 days, or your home is doomed.”
With Fallout 2 from 1998 also recently having been added to the service, you can play both futuristic RPG adventures to your heart’s content until Fallout 3 arrives on October 28th, 2008.
