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.

oOo WANTED oOo

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
