Fallout 1, 2, with genuine American spiral-bound manuals. And Fallout 2 Survival Guide (too bad no Fallout 1 Survival Guide, but it's supposed to be rare-ish).

I have the Fallout 1 manual, all spiral-bound and what not. It's pretty dope.

I have both my manuals and the games in their original jewel cases. I also have never said anything like 'it seems to be along the lines of "Sims" or "Grand Theft." ' about Fallout, so I am obviously a better person than this auction poster.

Waitaminute, what are these so-called "survival guides"? Elaborate.

Spazmo · Post by **Spazmo** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 4:04 am

Just the games' strategy guides.

When game guides had thought put into them...

Strategy guides are long since out of print. That makes them RARE COLLECTABLES!

I've got both games, with their original boxes, jewel cases, inserts, spiral notebook things, and strategy guides. BOOYAH.

In other news, I used to post Fallout stuff on ebay in the news every week. Then I got really bored with it and forgot about it. Well, if I find anything really interesting on Ebay, I might post it. Auctions like these are pretty common, though.

There are also some Fallout decals on ebay. I've been in contact with the guy who made them, and he can apparently make a decal out of anything we want. He's also apparently a lurker here. I told him to go ahead and post on the boards, offer his wares, etc. These are two of the decals he's got up right now:

The seller has both Fallouts with all goodies and doesn't know if it's Windows compatible or something of a crossbreed between Sims and GTA. I bet he just stole them from some geeky friend.

I don't have the strategy guides. Can someone tell me how comprehensive they are. Is it just a walkthrough or does it also list all quest solutions, special encouters, easter eggs, stats and the like?

It's probably inferior to the walkthroughs and FAQs you find online.

Besides, you got Per's FAQ. What else could you possibly need?

Decals: why on earth do you have to pay $5 for shipping? As opposed to the price of a postage stamp.

My wife made me some vinyl decals last year at the votech she taught at. I paid nothing! NOTHING!

Plus, her father runs the fleet for the city PD, and they've got a Gerber machine we can use anytime. WE PAY NOTHING! YEAH!

Don't you remember when true gamers frowned upon strategy guides? Do people just not care anymore?

Oh yeah, original FO and FO2, spiral manuals, yada yada yada. I thought nothing of it until everyone was all, "I want the spiral manual OMG SO RARE" and I was like, "I gots mine, bitches". And then I laughed in their faces.

So you think cause you got original manuals you're like what, hardcore?

HardXCore, man. HardXCore.

Those look pretty nifty, but bleh, who reads manuals anyways?

Lynxer · Post by **Lynxer** » Fri Aug 12, 2005 2:21 pm

I do. I read a passage from the Vault-Tec lab Journal that came with fallout 2 every day before bedtime. Heck, I even personalized it by writing my name down on the cover.

Aw, somebody's jealous.

Fallout and Fallout 2 are the only game manuals that I have. Somehow I used to always end up throwing game boxes and manuals away but those I kept.
