Despite its modern titles, the Fallout series began as a top-down isometric adventure game in which players faced off against the tough post-nuclear wasteland using their skills, scavenged weapons, and some cunning strategy. While the newer FPS games have gathered a huge number of fans, the original game is still a cult classic with a mass of die-hard followers who appreciate the clever gameplay and the incredible writing as well as the little quirks that make the game something special that is worth playing to this day. Although the newer titles have ported over a lot of what made the games exciting and fresh, some aspects have been left behind which can make it feel like some of the uniqueness of the series is lost.
