Well since everyone is waiting to see the new Fallout TV series on Prime, now is a good time for you to get into the series before the TV series.

To start, play the game that Fallout is based on and that game is Wasteland. The role-playing game was released back in 1988 but in 2020 a remastered was released for Windows and Xbox One.

Next, we have Fallout 1 and 2 which were both released back in 1997 and 1998. Both games take place about 80 years apart and tell the story of one Vault Dweller who goes out to the world to find a water chip to save Vault 13, the home of the Vault Dweller. In the second game you play as a direct descendant of the Vault Dweller from part one and your job is to save your town of Arroyo.

Soon after that, I would recommend watching Fallout 3, 4, and New Vegas due to them being very big and long and you can get lost in those games.

So there you go, a good starting place for you to venture into the post-apocalyptic America.
