Main Menu
When you start Fallout 2, after watching the
introductory movie, you will see the Main Menu.
This is probably the single most important screen
in the entire game, since without it you can’t
actually start playing.
Select from the following:
INTRO - Replay the intro movie. Use this to amaze
your friends.
NEW GAME - Start a new game. Create a character,
or select a pre-generated character, and start
playing Fallout 2 from the very beginning. If you
have just installed Fallout 2, or you have never
saved a game, you will need to press this button.
See page 16 for more information on starting a new
game.
LOAD GAME - Once you have started a game and saved
it in order to return to it at a later date without
having to start a completely new game, this is the
button for you. Pressing this button will take you
to the Load Game screen (see page 78), where you
can select from any of your previously saved games.
CREDITS - Press this button to see a list of the
fine people who have brought you Fallout 2. Your
enjoyment is all they have thought about!
EXIT - Pressing this button will return you to your
normal operating system. You will not be asked to
confirm the exit when you press this button. Zap!
One second you are playing Fallout 2, the next
second you are back to work. Life just isn’t fair.
Also displayed on the Main Menu screen is the
current version number of the game. Check the
Interplay website (see page 156) for the most
recent version.
