LOL you had a modem and a disk drive? All my games were on cassettes
For the C64 I had the disk drive cassette player and 4 cartridges one of which was the stand alone wordprocessor, we also had the dot matrix printer which was imported from the time from London. I also have a picture somewhere of my Amiga which lasted me all the way up until I upgraded to my first IBM PS2 Model 70 DX with Castle Wolfenstine, Constructor and Mario on DOS and a US Robotics 56k modem for awesome telnet access .
Kids these days don't know who much they have, back when the introduced Netscape in the 90's it was amazing, actually watching images of Mars from Pathfinder on the NASA website on a Dial Up connection with a downstream of 49kbps the images took two minutes to fully load but it was amazing.
Programming your own text based games using quick basic or Locomotive Basic borrowing manuals and code scripts that your friends cousin managed to bring from the US or UK, running the "Fill Screen" command, waiting 15 minutes for your game to load only for you to die and have to run it all over again.
Making a e-pal on MIRC
Managing your workload on 100's of floppies, man I sound like a cliche old man, but I miss the old days. Fun times.
Any civilization fans tried Endless Legend? I love Civilization 5, but Endless Legend is special in its own right.

I'll be sure to give it a go. I have not played FO4, but I have played every other FO starting from Fallout (Original), Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics so on...
