This is one hell of a good game. It's like Baulders Gate only futuristic style when the world is ruined with war and your with a group of survivers who try and salvage the technology left behind whilst beating back hostile beasts, raiders, ghouls and other enemies generated through the vast wastelands. Ever seen Mad Max? It's kind of like that style. There's nothing more fun than driving a hummer through the wilderness and hunting down deathclaws and raider bands, oh and them AK47's with burst fire at close range work like a dream! This has to be the best roguelike game I've played on the PC! |

Oh yeah, sorry - has anyone played this game before and found it equally as amusing?? |

Well I've been playig Fallout, it's pretty much the same thing except it's more of a adventure game (you are just one guy running around doing quests, whereas FT is more like the X-com games where you controll a whole squad and do missions). The Fallout series are defenently cool (unless you have one of those wussy european versions with no gore (how fun is that?)). I don't know what weapons you have in FT, but in the original Fallout AK47's (Assault rifles) are wussy, get a minigun, or even a gatteling laser. That will realy slice and dice your opponents >:-> Plasma weapons are cool too, the enemy just melt into a pool of bloiling flesh, ah the smell of roasting mutants in the morning ;) It's a bit of a stretch to call it a roguelike (aside from the encounters along the way there are hardly any random aspects to it), but they are defenently fun.

Don't those games have detailed graphics? Aren't all the maps the same? If so, I wouldn't think that they are rogue-like at all! |

No I wouldn't call it rogue-like either. But fallout is still good. actually i have juzt played fa2 sometime, i think i should start playing it again. "Faugh!" snorted Tahngarth. "Why would it make a meal out of something like you?" Squee looked relieved. "No," he continued, "you'd make a much better toothpick." |

Fair enough it's no Roguelike game but it's a very fun game. I have to say I think I prefer controlling just one guy rather than a whole squad. More credit for the one hero and he/she get's all the treasure! But I think I'll complete Fallout Tactics first though as I'm about 25% the way through it anyway (it's a very big game). |

get a gatling laser, and be sure to have a death-claw monk in ur party, they rock later in the game. And no, FT is not a rouguelike...unless you consider 64bit accelerated graphics ASCII... |

Well if you put 64bit graphics on ADOM it would still be a roguelike, however if you take away all the randomness and pre-built everything so that every level is exactly the same each time you play that IMHO it wouldn't be a roguelike game anymore, even if it did only use ASCII graphics... By that logic the Diablo series almost qualify for roguelike status, it does atleast have enough ransdomness to keep you interested for a while. They are a little lacking when it comes to complexity so they don't have quite the same replay value as ADOM and other roguelikes though (IMHO). Jan Erik Mydland HoF admin |

Fallout 1&2 have a very deep roleplaying elemt though... Anyway, the locations in Adom on the world map are in the same place, so are the village maps, and quests... I completed Fallout, took me ages, Fallout2 I kept getting killed in... The 2 best games I played in ages... |

If you explore everything in Fallout it will take some time, but the second time you play it you know where everything is and what weapons are best to specialise in, so you can play it throung in about a day... Get a few levels under your belt, get some radX pills and pick up all the human NPC's for pack mule duty and head off to Glowing, after that you'll have Combat armor, more weapons that you can shake a stick at and loads of usefull equipment (and they'll let you in to the Brooderhood of steel where you can get a PowerArmor). After that it's just a walk in the park. True ADOM have some pre-designed levels, but the vast majority of levels are completely random. In games like fallout only a lousy memmory can keep you interested for more than a couple of games... Jan Erik Mydland HoF admin |

Fallout Tatics can get boring. Everything is the same. Move your troops, kill the bad guy. Does have the option of either TB ot RT combat though. This game rocks in multiplayer. Summomer is a first person (actually it might be second person) graphical rpg. (with bad combat)Still fun for about a hour. BG was good but had no replayability value. Try ACANUM- of steamworks and magica (check spelling) a techno - magic game. This game is the only real game I wanted to play over and over. Like BG but you play 1 character but you have followers. I played a hobit theif and it was amazing. THen a dwarven gun smith - that rocked. The first great replay game. [Edited at 23:24, Wednesday, December 26, 2001 by Corremn] |
