Many know Fallout to be a pillar of Bethesda's gameography -- but old school fans know the series began in the hands of isometric RPG legends. This isn't the story of every development cycle for every Fallout game... but this IS this story of the many times Fallout changed hands over the course of its nearly 25-year history. From Interplay to Black Isle; from Bethesda to Obsidian; and now, from Bethesda to Xbox -- this is the weird story of Fallout as an intellectual property, and what its current state means for its original creators.
