Shell
A recreation of the Fallout 3 terminal via a linux bash script! Requires cool-retro-term, sox and pv installed as packages.



Fallout3Terminal

Fallout3Terminal is my own version of a Fallout 3/4/NV Terminal operating system, complete with the ability to write journal entries, and in-game sounds from Fallout 3 itself! I tried to recreate as many little details there are in the games, like the RobCo OS header and such, though you will notice I took quite a few liberties.

This is actually just a bash script that can be run from the terminal, and the output is displaying on a highly customizable retro terminal called cool-retro-terminal.

See my demonstration video of this on reddit, the post can be found here:

Additional notes

Thank you for your interest in this! This was just a little side project that I made while sick at home, but a lot of people wanted a download!

I have decided not to leave my preset for CRT in, as some people might want to give a shot at making their own CRT preset. Give it a shot! You might want to try a New Vegas amber look!

Believe it or not, I don't actually do a lot of this kind of thing, and I instead do a lot of Digital Art! I'm still learning, but you can check me out on @fohtla_arts on instagram. Otherwise, enjoy this little program I made for funsies!
