One of the most amazing news that we talked about about ten days ago was the fact that Tim Cain, the creator of the original rulout, said he was obliged to Eliminate all files and materials From this game and its continuation, Fallout 2. That made all those documents were lost forever in Limbo and it was impossible to develop a remastering or a new version of these classic titles.
However, in the midst of this misfortune a ray of light has emerged when it is discovered that many of those files still exist. This has been recognized by Rebecca Heineman, who was founder and designer of Interplay Productions, in a talk he has maintained with the Videogamer portal. That has led him to admit that she did Keep the entire source code with a good collection of both deliveries of the saga.
And it turns out that Tim Cain left the company at the end of the 90s, which caused them to contact him and ask him to eliminate all the materials from Fallout that he had in his possession. The problem of accepting this request came later when Interplay’s responsible people contacted him to find out if he still kept them, because the company had lost them and there was no way to recover them.
Thus, Heineman has revealed that he made the decision to preserve the source code when the compilation was created Interplay’s 10 Year Anthology: Classic Collectionwhich gathered studio games that were published between 1983 and 1993. As was aware that the conservation of the oldest games left much to be desired, he opted for his own account to maintain all well -protected files.
Consequently, he captured all his works, including the MAC versions of the first two Falloutand file it on CD-ROMS. Even so, he said that what happened with Cain was not an isolated case and that everyone who left the company demanded the same. Instead, as she was the founder of Interplay, she stayed with everything. And as later made an adaptation for Mac with its new company, MacPlay, so it keeps intact the source code of Fallout 1 y 2.

What has failed to keep are the notes of Tim and another series of files, but at least the code of the two games continues to exist, which in the end is the most important of all. The problem is that they cannot publish them and not sell them when they are protected by copyright, which in this case They belong to Bethesda todayso its permission and approval would be necessary to make any type of decision, although at least a more hopeful future is presented for the possible return of the beginnings of the saga.
