But don't forget about Nineteen Eighty-Four either. What a game that would be - imagine trying to survive in Airstrip One!

Perhaps that's more of a subconscious influence though? Good taste! But don’t forget about Nineteen Eighty-Four either. What a game that would be – imagine trying to survive in Airstrip One!

Since it was an inspiration to Fallout, someone could pick Miller's Crossing too and create a game around it. With lots of words and silences, and just a few bullets. I wonder if it could be done? i saw Brazil when it was released, absolutely fabulous. Since it was an inspiration to Fallout, someone could pick Miller’s Crossing too and create a game around it.

I'll consider it my duty to legitimately obtain both Miller's Crossing and Brazil.
