Fallout.

What you need to know

  • Fallout 1, the original Fallout RPG made by Interplay Entertainment in 1997, is only officially playable on PC through Steam or GOG.
  • However, a talented community member has ported the game to Nintendo's discontinued 3DS handheld with an impressive modding project. 
  • Fallout 1 and 2 are also playable on iOS and Android devices thanks to the development of special fan-created "Community Edition" versions of the games.
  • You'll find links to these ports, as well as relevant information for what you'll need for proper installation, in the text below. 
  • Note that you'll need legal copies of Fallout 1 and 2 to play them on 3DS or mobile devices; GOG has both games on sale right now for 75% off. Links to these deals can be found below as well.
