The Future of Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics[]
Those of you who either remember our Bethesda v Interplay coverage, or have been watching the Gog.com twitter account may recall that Interplay’s license to sell Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics ends at midnight on 31 December.
We’ve asked Pete Hines, VP of Marketing at Bethesda what will happen after this date, and haven’t received a positive response (just a “we’re working on it”) However, there are some things to bear in mind

Wrap[]
This week we're sad to note the passing of Mikhail Kalashnikov, Aged 94. If his name seems familiar, its because it is.
Kalashnikov is of course famous for his namesake, the AK-47, Designed as a cheap yet reliable weapon it has arguably exceeded anyones expectations, becoming perhaps the iconic weapon of the 20th century. Kalashnikov was proud of his designed, although disappointed by its use by criminals and child soldiers. Whilst the design was (surprisingly) not financially lucrative for Kalashnikov (or perhaps not when you remember that the USSR was a communist state), we was recognised with awards such as the Order of Lenin and the Hero of Socialist Labour. The BBC has more. |
