   Yeah think I might pick this up. I have heard all my friends say that these were great titles and I should learn myself something before Fallout 3 comes out.

   And I should be able to play it for a bit on an old laptop for an upcoming long plane trip to boot!

   A word of (slight) warning: This contains just the games as far as I could tell. Now, I love Fallout 1 & 2 (haven’t played Tactics) and owning both games, what REALLY pushed me from “Love ’em” to “Fanboyism” was the manuals. I have never read a manual cover to cover, but there are so many gems tucked away in these, it just seems like it would be a sub-par experience to miss out on them.

   i purchased this
   (blessing my stars)
   a week or two ago.

   of course,
   it still contains the manuals –
   albeit in PDF form.

   i don’t “like” it
   when cool manuals are reduced to
   B & W PDF…
   they’re not quick to read
   or easy on the eye…
   or cool to “hold” —
   but on the other hand
   we’re heading into
   the “Global Warming Zone”
   (alarm klaxons and siren lights, ppl!)
   and PDF’s on CD or DVD
   may be a less damaging option
   for the environment
   than old school “papier”.
   so it may be a necessary “sacrifice”.

   talking about life and art,
   i’ve still got quotes
   from serious experts in Oz public debate
   about “Mad Max” scenarios in the ‘burbs
   when oil becomes $carce
   and a dividing commodity
   between the “haves” and “have nots”.

   having played and adored another game
   by the legendary Urquhart,
   Baldur’s Gate 2,
   originally introduced
   via my mate’s version
   with the fantastic manual and cloth map,
   yeah i was annoyed at
   finding the compilation version
   had a cheesy PDF text –
   but if it’s a small way
   to help alleviate
   the rubbish we’re going to suffer
   through apathetic or ignorant
   environmental mismanagement…
   let’s take it in our stride.

   it’s a small thing.

   You are correct, Bob. There are no manuals with this release. I picked this up a few weeks ago. Great value, but some form of manual or packaging other than the standard box might have been nice.
