information

Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game is a trimetric turn-based computer RPG developed by Interplay Entertainment and Black Isle Studios. It was published on October 10, 1997. The Fallout continuity takes place 84 years into the aftermath of "the Great War", a nuclear armageddon waged between the United States and China in the aftermath of rising geopolitical tensions after a resource war that concludes in the American annexation of Canada and the crumbling of the United Nations. You play as the Vault Dweller, a young person sent out from one of many settlements called Vaults, homogenous survivor groups descended from bunkers set up pre-War by a company known as Vault-Tek. As a lone wanderer, your task is to find a water chip out in the wasteland of Southern California after your Vault's water chip fails. You do not have much time. The clock is ticking.

The game imagines nuclear apocalypse as the last resort of enforcing theocratic settler colonialism over unceded land, accomplished through shearing it clean for white Christofascist Americans to repopulate the earth after hiding in a series of underground bunkers. Such loaded imagery is laid out simply in the American government hiding a MacGuffin in select bunkers called the Garden of Eden Creation Kit, which is then taken by the Indigenous protagonist in Fallout 2 to save their city through massacring an oil rig full of inbred eugenicists who desire to rid the earth of every God-given American subjected to radiation. Future Fallout entries implicitly link the gospel-cult of the Unity, the villain of the original Fallout, with the American government through the image of the art deco Valkyrie. It implies not that the government itself dropped the bomb vis a vis working with Vault-Tek to improve profits in a gesture that the recent Amazon TV show idiotically confirms (a premise that invokes conspiracist thinking) but that by consequence of the Resource Wars, the destruction invoked by the death of American civilisation continues to promote repeated disposessive hauntings over the land through various cyclical traumas (slavery, rape, appropriation of culture, etc).


"2072: The United States' increasing demand for Canadian resources causes protests and riots in several Canadian cities. An attempted sabotage attempt of the Alaskan pipeline is all the military needs as an excuse to begin its annexation of Canada... which in fact, had already begun in 2067." [1]
