I can't get Fallout 4 yet, so here's what I will be doing instead!
Post Body

Hello all!

So I have had a rather busy month and found the government had screwed up on my tax, meaning that they require me to dip into 'Alice's video game fund' to, you-know, not go to prison and all that.

So basically that left me with no money for FO4. So what I have decided to do instead while saving up again is to break out the classics.

I found an old windows XP netbook from the late 2010s in a cupboard at work and I asked my boss if I could buy it off him.He was more than happy for me to just take it. The netbook is so old it still had XP SP1 installed, but I managed to find an offline copy of all the updates (Too scared to connect it to the internet!)

Fast forward an hour or so, I now have a (soemwhat) portable retero-gaming machine! I have loaded up a bunch of old classics, including Fallout 1 & 2

My plan, basically, is to play through the entirety of Fallout 1 and 2 with the 'same' character, the same one I use on my current F03/NV TTW playthough....

I used to love old iso-metric strategy and fantasy RPG games when I was younger, but I had only dabbled in the originals. Now with this little Netbook I can play all of my old classic games offline while commuting to work or during my lunchbreak.

Without any spoilers, I have just astarted FO1 and I am already panicking due to the 'timer' but I have found some rope and I think I will be allright. It certainly is refreshing having less 'help' in knowing what to do... Although I am still getting used to the controls!

Any other retrogames that people would recommend for me to play inbetween?
