My Role Play
Friday, April 20, 2007
Here goes, I've been able to install three classic games this weekend. The first two are my favorites, and they are of the RPG genre. Oh you just gotta love these games.
In random order.
Le numero un, nous avons Fallout. Set in the barren deserts of western America, particularly California and Nevada, like yourself, your player character is a tabula rasa. He doesn't have any idea about the wasteland as he stayed in a vault since he can remember. So it's pretty much a learning experience for both your character and you as a player. You get to explore the California area years after a nuclear holocaust. As the game's title suggest, Fallout is set in a post-nuclear world. I first played this game while I was still in Pisay, most of my buddies played it. Anyway, I already spent hours playing the game and I'm not planning on spending more, maybe finish it once or twice and then that's done!
Basically the story of the game goes like this, you live in one of the underground vaults of the United States, Vault 13 to be exact; they were constructed in preparation for a nuclear holocaust, which unfortunately occurred after the planet's fossil fuels ran out. China attacked the US and a nukes rain out from the sky. So that's how you ended up in the vault. After sometime, the vault's water chip, the essential component of the vault's water supply breaks down. The leader of your vault, the overseer, sends you out to find a replacement. In the course of your travels you discover what has happened to the surrounding area and learn new stuff, including of course the location of a water chip. Your next quest is to eradicate the growing mutant menace, and in time you finish the quest. After returning to the vault, you are sent out, cast off to wander the wasteland, the overseer finds you too powerful, a threat in fact and even claims that you yourself has mutated. So that's how it ends, the hero sent off to exile.
Le numero deu est la suite a le numero un; nous avons Fallout 2. Set eighty years after the original. Your character is the descendant of the Vault Dweller, that how he is now called. Your village is dying, famine is spreading across the land. After passing a series of tests, the village elder tells you of a legend of the Holy GECK, or Garden of Eden Creation Kit: the answer to your problems. You must now search for the Holy GECK in order to save your village. Eventually finding the said artifact in Vault 13, which you find populated by Deathclaws. You return home only to find your village destroyed and your fellow villagers missing. You search for them and discover where they are held captive and then save the day.
And lastly, Sid Meier's SimGolf. It's my favorite collaboration of all time. Sid Meier of Civ fame and the Sims series in one project! It's a golf simulation game, and even you can play in your own course.
What makes this games interesting and amusing are their references to pop culture like Godzilla, Coca Cola, Bruce Lee, Magic: the Gathering, just to name a few. And for SimGolf, you have "celebrities" like Britney Aguilera, Jennifer Elopes, William Robins appearing in the game.
Well just killing time here.
