For some odd reason, I found the Fallout (v1.00 - Windows 95) CD tucked beneth a heapful of stuff in my room. So I'm playing it for the first? (or second) time. Head's up on possible irritating bugs (I've heard some rumors). Already experienced a corrupt save-game bug and one bug that makes my screen go pixel. But so far, nothing serious for me to go suicide bombing, as of yet...

[Q --start Zovni wrote--] The original release of Fallout has a time-limit built in. Spend too much time exploring the wastes and you lose the game. [/Q --end Zovni wrote--]
I actually liked that. It gave game a sense of urgency and clear objective. Once the chip is delivered you feel like a huge boulder came off your shoulders. As for the army of Super Mutants it will take much longer for them to mess up your game.
But I have to agree that punishing player for exploration is not exactly the brightest idea of game design.
On my last replay I didn't find Fallout to be that buggy, actually. Now, Fallout 2 is a different story entirely.
