The Fallout series is the greates RPG series ever.
It's a shame that all of a sudden prices have risen to nearly $80. More people should be able to experience these games, but I don't recommend buying them from here. I got my copy of Fo1 from a neighbor, and Fo2 from a good friend. At the time I was maybe 12, and even before that, watching my neighbor/friend (who was older than me) play the first, it was enthralling.
These are two of the last, somewhat modern games, I think, to have a rich story line and an involving plot. You start out thinking that it will be very linear (looking in your first city for the water chip, hah), but soon you begin to realize that the game was designed to let you call the shots. Instead of immediately being immersed in homogenous villains defending a larger version of themselves, who in turn is coveting, for some reason, the last water chip on the face of... Californea... you start out doing a little sleuthing, a small side mission here, and then you become entirely involved.
I enjoyed the second game in the series as well. It follows the same principle, and is pretty much an extension of the first one, but thats not really a bad aspect. I feel that if these games had been made using more modern tools, they would be the most popular games ever.
That said, you should get this if your pockets are brimming with cash and you dont know how to spend it. I wouldn't consider them to be rare, and the company is dying. Get it whatever way you can think of (ahem ahem... time to be hitting the ol' dusty trail).
