SIMTEK OPERATIONS

The Vault-Tec Research Group has determined that after a

long period of security, many Vault-Dwellers will feel “uncomfort-

able” with the idea of returning to the outside world. The SimTek

5000 will provide a safe and reassuring return to life on the out-

side world. This chapter will give you a brief walk-through of the

operation of the SimTek 5000.

Experienced Vault Dwellers may want to start with

Character Creation, and skip this tutorial chapter. For beginning

Vault Dwellers, this tutorial will prepare you for the outside world.

After starting the Fallout process on your terminal, click on

the NEW GAME button from the Main Menu.

The character selection screen will appear. For now, keep the

personnel record of Max Stone displayed and select TAKE. This

will choose Max as your character. In the future, you may want to

select another character, or even create your own character.

The simulation will now start. After a briefing by the Vault

Overseer as to your immediate task, you will appear outside the

Vault Blast Door.

Your first action should be to equip yourself with armament.

All Vault-Tec prepared Vaults come with the latest in offensive and

defensive equipment. You will be supplied with the most lethal

self-protective devices available.

Click the INV button on the interface bar at the bottom of the

screen. The hand cursor allows you to move items around in your
