Gamers Of The Apocalypse · Slashdot Mirror

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday February 21, 2006 @05:52AM from the slashdot-must-repopulate-the-globe dept.

The Escapist's theme this week is 'retro-style games', and Russ Pitts (one of the gents behind Gamers With Jobs) has a piece on post-apocalyptic gaming. Entitled 'Duck and Cover', it touches on games with that fallout flavour. From the article: "The desolate imagery and desperate sense of hopelessness in the face of unimaginable tragedy make Fallout a difficult game to finish (especially for a Day After Kid), but it is precisely the ending of this game that makes every moment of pain and frustration worthwhile. Watching the Fallout's ending cut-scene rendered me utterly speechless. I literally could not summon the words or thoughts to describe my emotions."

but I worry anytime someone buys someone elses baby and tries to run with it.

You said it, brother. I tried that once and it turned out to be an fbi sting operation. Boy, was that ever a mistake.
