Not to give away my age (LOL) but I bought the grandaddy post-nuke game Wasteland when it first came out, for dialog it would refer you to a page and paragraph in a book that came in the box. We've come a long way with fully voiced dialog.

You can buy the original Wasteland on Steam now (probably some other places as well). I have the original package with the 5 1/4 floppy for the C-64 for Wasteland.

That’s hilarious.

Wasteland was awesome. I only liked sci-fi rpgs ... Never got into the D&D type though I loved Ultima.

My Fallout 4 Pip Boy edition is arriving tomorrow. I have too much work to do before I even think of installing it. I bought that remake of Pirates 10 years ago and played it almost 72 hours straight in between contracts. Once I got a new job, I had to uninstall it ... I have no self control when it comes to great games :-) (don’t even ask about my pinball collection)

Yep, *I* remember doing that as well, so we are not far apart as concerns our respective ages. Wasteland was one of the first computer games that engaged me enough to actually play to completion, back in the day. So I've always had a soft spot for its progeny, the various Fallout installments...
