I was a little late to the Fallout party when I jumped on with Fallout 3. I find the story very intriguing and would like to play the first games. So my question is Fallout 1 & 2 worth getting? I look forward to reading your comments.
Is Fallout 1&2 worth getting

Actually, Fallout 1's the better of the two. Fallout 2 was ambitious, but rushed. The original Fallout has a better structure and balance than its sequel. Still, both are fantastic games.
You can grab them on Good Old Games for fairly cheap.

I just got the first one a few days ago.
Much fun, but extremely hard until you find a decent smg or machine gun.

You should def give them a try. I lost myself for hours playing Fallout 1 as a kid(mostly because I didn't know what the hell I was doing).
I would say Fallout 2 is better but Fallout 1 starts out much better and introduces some stuff that does show up in the second one. I would say unless someone hates point and click isometric games, hates RPGs, or is a graphic, whore both games are worth playing.ThrobbingEgo said:
There is a thing called difficulty settings. Fallout 1 and 2 on Easy are easier than Fallout 3 on its hardest setting.Jekken6 said:
After Fallout 3, I was desperate for so more Fallout also. The thing you have to remember when playing the first two Fallout games, is that they were before our time, at least for me. That being said they were hard for me to play because of the difficulty. I got through half of Fallout before I finally broke down and download a trainer for the game just so I could finish it. Fallout 2 was better than Fallout 1, the game was still challenging, but not to absurdity, I never had to cheat for Fallout 2. So yeah, if you really care about the Fallout universe after 3, I would say pick these gems up.Sleekgiant said:
Edit: I never played Falout Tactics, I guess I have my game for the three day weekend coming up.
I would expect.thenamelessloser said:
I would recommend playing the original two. I find them to be so delightfully fun.
I would go into my reasoning, but some of it has been stated, and the rest is just personal opinion.
Played the first one a couple of years ago, and can honestly say I liked it a lot better than Fallout 3. Would definitely recommend it. Can't say about Fallout 2, as I haven't played it.
Be warned, it's a lot harder than Fallout 3. Save often, because you'll probably die quite a bit.

yes, get them both. keep in mind, the gameplay is NOTHING like fallout 3, but still great games.
