The first game, "Fallout", was released in 1997 by Interplay Entertainment. It is an isometric role-playing game (RPG) set in the year 2161, where the player assumes the role of a Vault Dweller tasked with finding a replacement water purification chip for their underground Vault, which is crucial for survival.

Throughout the series, players encounter mutated creatures, raiders, factions with conflicting ideologies, and remnants of pre-war society. The games offer expansive open-world environments, nonlinear gameplay, and moral choices that impact the storyline and world around them.
