Tonight’s episode of The Walking Dead began with a tune recognizable to many gamers who played through Bethesda’s Fallout 3.
“Maybe” by The Ink Spots have been used many times to highlight simpler, idyllic times when compared to post-apocalyptic wastelands. It worked well for Fallout 3 and definitely lent an eerie, disturbing quality to the flash forward opening to the latest episode of The Walking Dead.
Maybe
Maybe you’ll think of me
When you are all alone
Maybe the one who is waiting for you
Will prove untrue, then what will you do?
Maybe you’ll sit and sigh, wishing that I were near
Then maybe you’ll ask me to come back again
And maybe I’ll say maybe.
Maybe you’ll think of me
When you are all alone
Maybe the one who is waiting for you
Will prove untrue, then what will I do?
Maybe, you’ll sit and sigh, wishing that I were near
Then maybe you’ll ask me to come back again
And maybe I’ll say maybe.

It was actually the intro/title and credits to Fallout 1 too, I guess most people are too young and only played Fallout 3? Interestingly enough The Walking Dead also used a similar camera work (zoom) from the game intro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGGui9fvZPM.

I never got a chance to play Fallout when it first came out and i know I’m old enough to have played it if I had been into PC gaming at that time. By the time I had gotten into the series it was through Bethesda’s revival of the franchise. I should find a way to play the first title now that I have time to do so.

You can buy Fallout 1 and 2 (and Tactics) on GOG.com, I really recommend them as I think they’re the best rpgs ever done (if you prefer freedom and complexity over graphics)
