The series is set during the 22nd and 23rd centuries, and its atompunk retrofuturistic setting and artwork are influenced by the post-war culture of 1950s America, with its combination of hope for the promises of technology and the lurking fear of nuclear annihilation. A forerunner for "Fallout" is "Wasteland", a 1988 game developed by Interplay Productions to which the series is regarded as a spiritual successor.
