Product Description: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Collection! Combined into one collection are two post nuclear role playing titles sure to keep you on the edge of your chair. Fallout is a classic old school role-playing experience with all new depth and complexity. Fallout 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed game that took RPG'ing out of the dungeons and into a dynamic, apocalyotic retro-future.
Amazon.com Product Description: The science-fiction role-playing games Fallout and Fallout 2 have been bundled together for the complete post-nuclear-war game experience. In Fallout you are dwelling in a self-sufficient fallout shelter called Vault-13, three generations removed from the apocalyptic war. When your shelter's water filter breaks down, you are sent out into the unknown wasteland to find a replacement filter or a new source of fresh water. The Fallout adventure unfolds as a gritty tale of discovery, paranoia, and survival. Mature gamers are in for a classic role-playing game that has earned a cult following just as loyal as the fans of the Mad Max movies that inspired it.
Fallout 2 takes place 80 years after the events in the original game. You are the Chosen One, a tribal ancestor of Fallout's vault dweller. Your tribe has built a modest settlement in an isolated corner of the futuristic Californian wasteland, but you must find a Garden of Eden Creation Kit to sustain the village. During your adventure, you'll encounter misfits and monsters ranging from gangsters to supermutants. Twice as many weapons are at your disposal, including the M72 Gauss Rifle, M3A1 "Grease Gun" SMG, Louisville Slugger, H&K CAWS, and the Solar Scorcher. In addition, you can give your character combat postures such as berserk, aggressive, defensive, or cowardly.
Parents should be aware that the games contain violence and some sexual situations. Though you can adjust the tone down a bit through the main control panel, developments that occur on the adult setting are integral to the story.

Rating: - Great
This Game is great and so was the shape of the game. I will be buying from them again.
Rating: - Substance over blingbling
This is one of the top 10 rpg games of all time, some say the best. It is a testemant to why substance is so much greater than bling, and is considered one of the defining games of the genre. Of all the RPGs I have played, this is one of two that has a permanent spot of my Hard Disk (other being Torment). If you have never played it you owe it to yourself to do so, if only to see what makes for a truly great game.
Yes, the graphics are out-dated. Yes the battle is turn-based. Yes, this is the example of how it is to be done. You will in fact appreciate turn based battle after experiencing Fallout and Fallout2. And you will see how these graphics in fact add to the game play not take away from it. They set the atmosphere of the game (dirty).
There is something very satisfying about hearing the "SPLAT" followed by the "AAAAAAAAH" as a circle of flesh blows out from the side of an advancing Mutant, caused by your Shotgun blast (with the gun affectionately known as the Pancor JackHammer).
And just as satisfying is the "ZZZZT" "UUUUUUUUUH" you get from frying some punk, using your energy weapon. A great four seconds of animation as you watch the vermin's body zizzle from top down then bottom up, skelotal remains finalling falling to the ground in a "THUMP".
Or if you prefer the really big guns, you can go for something like the Flame Thrower. Good Golly Molly, how long can that guy run around burning aflame before he becomes a final crispy critter mess.
And unlike many games with sequels, both these games are very worth playing. You will enjoy all aspects of the game from character creation, to battle, to quests, to researching online how to enhance your game playing experience. Get it while you can. It is becomming more and more rare.

Rating: - Two amazing games.
Both of these games are amazing. Great stories, great gameplay, and funny to boot. A little dated for today's standards, but still very immersive and entertaining. Buy this two-pack now!!!
