Fallout

Post-nuclear game series

Fallout is a popular video game series set in a post-apocalyptic world devastated by nuclear war.

The games feature retrofuturistic aesthetics blending 1950s Americana with advanced technology, dark humor, and themes of survival in an irradiated wasteland: I spent the weekend playing Fallout. (Lowercase fallout is radioactive debris or negative consequences.)
