Fallout 2, For Real

A group of Russian Fallout 2 fans decided to organize a game convention near one of Russia’s old abandoned missile launch sites.

On June 21st, 2009, at one of the abandoned air-defense bases in St. Petersburg region, a game based on “Fallout 2? universe took place, organized by “Albion” workshop. Some 300 people participated in the game, working with workshop group, tech support group and emergency/medical services. And, of course, the players themselves, who prepared for the game over the course of many months. Much was accomplished by the workshop crew: sealed military bases, including the memorable Sierra from Fallout II, were built; plot and game coordination accomplished, including rapid response by the creators to changes in game environment. Players were hard at work as well. They made authentic costumes, modified airsoft guns to the point of being unrecognizable, outfitted a special car, operated establishments such as cinema, working radio station, few bars, hospital, casino and much more. Combined efforts of workshop people and players made the world come to life for two short days.
