| Fallout | Interplay (Black Isle Studios) | 1997 | A great post-apocalyptic RPG, with good atmosphere and great feeling about scarceness of resources.

You will take the role of a Vault-dweller, a person who has grown up in a secluded, underground survival Vault. Circumstances arise that force you to go Outside to a strange world 80 years after the end of the modern civilization. A world of mutants, radiation, gangs and violence. Your immediate task is to find a replacement for the broken water purification controller chip.

| Fallout 2 | Interplay (Black Isle Studios) | 1998 | Improves everything in the first game, especially exploration. The only thing to blame is a kind of fixed ending in comparition with the first game, and an antagonist not so interesting as The Master. 9 de 10***In this postnuclear role-playing game, you are the Chosen One, the direct descendant of the Vault Dweller. The village elders have selected you to wear the sacred Vault-suit of your grandsire and, in time, to ascend to the leadership of your people. First you must prove your devotion to your people. Your tribe needs help. If you are truly the Chosen One, then you alone are capable of claiming the heritage of the Vault Dweller to take back your birthright. Your tribe has survived over 10 years of drought, but now their reserves are at an end. You must find Vault 13 and claim the technology that your tribe needs to survive. If you fail in this quest, your tribe will surely die. You must travel the perilous Wastes on a holy quest to find Vault 13--the same Vault that cruelly cast your grandsire out into the Wastes 80 years ago. The Vault owes you. The Vault owes your tribe. Now it is time to collect.***2009-08-19 on Steam, by Interplay (lang: eng, fre, ger)***[b]censored[/b] - at least UK and German releases had the children removed.***It's a CRPG set in a Post Apocalyptic world.

| Disciples III: Renaissance | Akella;Strategy First;Kalypso Media Digital (.dat) | 2009 | A new stage in the evolution of the turn-based strategy genre. Retaining the strengths of previous titles in the series, Disciples III introduces new features to create truly exciting gameplay.

An RPG-style system will be implemented for the character advancement system, with inventory, expanded stats and abilities, and a character model that will visually reflect equipped armor, weapons and artifacts [Akella] | labelimagesubject |
