Summary
A gamer online has shared some awesome gameplay images from the original 1997Falloutrunning on a Nintendo 3DS, thanks to a cool mod for the game. The originalFalloutwas originally only released for PC, but now gamers are able to take it on the go thanks to this Nintendo 3DS mod.
In just a few years, the originalFalloutwill turn 30 years old. Its influence cannot be understated, and to this day, it remains one of the most influential RPGs of all time. Its atompunk aesthetic remains as striking today as it was in 1997, and combined with solid mechanics,Fallouthelped to revive the RPG genre, which was on its knees at the time. Later, Bethesda went on to purchaseFallout, which has helped grow the IP even further in the public eye. Still, there are those who are die-hards for the original Interplay titles, and many even believe thatFallout 1should be remadeentirely.
Thanks to amod from MrHuu on GBATemp, Redditor Loopuze1 was able to share some images of the originalFalloutrunning on the Nintendo 3DS. Considering the game wasn’t designed for the dual screens on the platform, it seems to work incredibly well, with the gameplay at the bottom of the screen and the UI being able to move to the top. The stylus suits the point-and-click gameplay ofFalloutgreat, too, although Loopuze1 did report that switching between left and right click with the L button was “a little clunky.“Fallouthas often had issues working on modern hardware, so this might not be a bad way for gamers to experience one of thebest isometric RPGs ever.
