thanks mate! happy to be here
I've played Fallout 1 around 1998 on my 486DX 50MHz PC. It was a pirated disk I borrowed from a classmate, who introduced me to the game. I would never be able to understand how to play it on my own without an intro (there was no manual and I never played proper CRPGs before).
By the time I reached the Master a single save game was taking around 50Mb and I only had about 80Mb of spare disk space. So I could only have 1 save file and it was loading for about 10 mins.
I managed to complete the game after a lot of pain and suffering. It sparked my interest in programming and I never looked back.
I kept returning to Fallout every 5 years or so. The most recent being a playthrough of Sonora, which was incredible.
I've been working on an isometric CRPG as a solo dev for years now.

Damn, only 1 save? Would be fun to turn it into a challenge.
Oh, yes, it definitely was. In fact, I remember Master so well because I had to save scum multiple times due to getting crippled or losing my eye whenever entering the corridor leading to him. I would save the game whenever I was lucky enough to get a little closer to the baddy. Then I'd get crippled a minute later and load the game. Since loading was taking around 10 mins it literally took me hours to beat him bit by bit.
