Because you always post the most insightful ideas about wargaming I can find anywhere, I always assume you know everything about military history, wargaming, and geeky spin-offs like civilian games. The Fallout series of games started off as a remarkable fountain of risk-taking creativity. It drew on very obscure sources, including seldom-read Phil K. Dick stories. Because its source material was diverse and often totally unknown to most of its audience, it seemed to be incredibly original.

After the initial efflorescence of the first game, in my opinion, most of the other games have been very disappointing.

If you have an interest in the Phil K. Dick inspiration of the game, I recommend avoiding review of “The Days of Perky Pat,” because they are likely to contain spoilers.

Stalin et al had the same model, but they mainly ended up with a pile of bodies and marginal results.
