<p><b>The year was 1997 and <i>Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game</i> had just been released by Interplay.</b><br/><br/>This book looks back at the entire Fallout saga, tells the story of the series' birth, retraces its history and deciphers its mechanics.<br/><br/><b>The perfect book to discover and understand the origins of <i>Fallout</i>, with the saga's genesis and the decryption of each of his episodes !</b><br/><br/>EXTRACT<br/><br/>"The intro music and the end credits were the final main components of this hybrid post-apocalyptic/50s ambiance. Initially, Brian Fargo wanted to signal <i>Fallout</i>’s inspiration with <i>Warriors of the Wasteland</i>, by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, but when he heard The Ink Spots, he changed his mind and loved the result. The first choice was <i>I Don’t Want To Set The World On Fire</i> by this group of crooners from the 1930s/40s, but unfortunately the high cost made it impossible to acquire the rights. But while browsing an extensive list of tracks from the era, the team found that <i>Maybe</i>, by the same group, had almost the same sound-with the added bonus of being cheap! The lyrics are about a break-up, from the point of view of the person being left behind: "Maybe you’ll think of me when you are all alone/ Then maybe you’ll ask me to come back again". Leonard Boyarsky notes that, "It worked with the intro [and the ending]", referring to the ending with the betrayal and lonely exile of <i>Fallout</i>’s hero. "It felt like it was this genius plan we had [...] but it was only later that we decided to kick [the player] out of the Vault. I feel like this is a metaphor for the whole game: it looks like we had a better picture in mind than we did, it just came out of the things we were doing"."</p>
