As long as you’re not taking on an opponent who is way stronger than you, you always feel in a control of the action, and as you level up you can face stronger and stronger enemies.

It was only later, after I’d played the superior Fallout: New Vegas, did I realise how limited Fallout 3 was.įallout 3 is still a huge amount of fun to play now. I was just so happy to be back in the Vault again. When the ZX Spectrum arrived a year later, with its colour visuals and tinny audio, it was truly.
