oOo Release Notes oOo
Set in the aftermath of a world-wide nuclear war, Fallout will challenge
you to survive in an unknown and dangerous world. 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. Without that chip, your fellow Vault
dwellers are doomed to dehydration or be forced to leave the safety of
the Vault for the Outside.
The core of the game revolves around your character. When you start
Fallout, you can choose or modify one of three pre-made characters,
or create your own from scratch. The character creation system will
allow you to make a vibrant, unique character. We are using a
skill-based system to allow you to fine tune your character.
As you gain experience (roughly half from combat, the other half will
come when you solve adventure seeds and non-combat based stuff), your
character will grow as you determine. No classes here!
Combat in Fallout is tactical turn-based. You can take as much time as you
need to make decisions. Choose from different types of attacks, with a
variety of weapons and attack skills. Weapons include: shotguns, flamers,
chain-guns, rocket launchers, sledgehammers, brass knuckles and more.

oOo Cracker's Notes oOo
This was an interesting challenge given that the total size of all the
character / monster animations was larger than 75 disks. Hence some
optimization of the 20,000 files contained in the DAT files was in order.
Firstly all the movies and sound were ripped. Then, the female character
animations underwent a sex change operation and are now looking somewhat
masculine. There were separate death scenes for all of the different
monsters depending on what weapon you killed them with, so these were
removed (although you can download the 5 disk addon). The detailed
character heads which are displayed when you speak with some characters
also had to be removed due to space limitations. Finally, a few general
images were compressed to bring it under the 75 disk limit. All of this
removed and essentially nothing is missing from this great game.
Think RAZOR could have done it? Nah.

Due to the overwhelming amount of feedback we got about artists, we are
going to try this again. First, we are looking for people who can
supply HARDWARE to our group. Most importantly 3DFX Cards, MMX Chips,
and Hard Drives. If you think you are able to help out, contact us ASAP
to be rewarded. Second, we are looking for DEMO's (4k, 64k, even 4MB if
they are good enough) with a CLASS theme. The DEMO Scene and our Scene
used to be tightly knit. Today, you are lucky if anyone knows what the
DEMO Scene is. We would like to change that, and give the DEMO Scene
some much needed exposure, especially here in the USA. Lastly, we just
wanted to thank everyone for all the positive feedback we have received
over the past few weeks. It's nice to know our work is appreciated. So
if can help us out in any way, don't delay, contact us today at the
following E-Mail address: classpc*hotmail*com
