Vinnymonster Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 You could also mention 'The Survivalist' series of pulp novels by Jerry Ahern. They tell the story of John Rourke an american black opps agent who survives WWIII along with his friends and family. He deals with soviet invaders, survives the ionization of earth's atmosphere and beyond. Also the original Planet of the Apes, Beneath the Planet of the Apes and Battle for the Planet of the Apes. And the unforgettable and thankfully not yet 're-imagined' Logan's Run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gligamesh Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Not really apolalyptic, but Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein is freakin' great and should be read by all. Nothing whatsoever to do with the movie, they are worlds apart.Power armor and mini-nukes make it fallout-ish...Farnham's Freehold, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, and Sixth Column (AKA The Day After Tomorrow) were good reads too, although the former is one of his weaker books... Alas, Babylon -Pat Frank Stephen King... The Dark Tower series. Naturally. The Stand. The Long Walk (as Bachman, and c'mon, I can just SEE this contest in Fallout!). Trucks. Not a really good book, and too religious to fit the bill, Robert Ferrigno's "Prayers for the Assassin" is amusing, nonetheless. Game?Shadowrun. P&P or Genesis/Master System, and SNES versions. Not really post apocalyptic, more cyberpunk, where the apocalypse is our subjugation to corporate facism. *dons asbestos suit*Phantasy Star 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gligamesh Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Jericho was great, if a little cheesy. Thread said movies, not TV series, so I left it out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starch Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Jericho was great, if a little cheesy. Thread said movies, not TV series, so I left it out... There was a British TV series in the '70s called "The Survivors" where approx. 1 in a million people survived a virus that got spread all over the world.

bnelo12 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 The road is a really good post apocolyptic book. Its being made into a movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinisterSamurai Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Oh good, someone mentioned Six String Samurai. Cheesy as hell, but Fallout seems to have drawn 1 or 2 inspirations from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skree000 Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Just saw the movie "Doomsday" yesterday. I watched the making of featurettes and everything... had some REALLY cool looking fallout-y inspirations, alot of the movie was pretty much people in combat armor vs raider hordes lol. TONS of cool raider costumes and raider vehicles. Either than that, total cheese movie. But apparently it was made by the producer to be a comedic homage to all the great post apocalyptic movie. (the tag line is 'humanity has an expiration date' for goodness sake LOL) Its basically Escape from NY + 28 days later + Road Warrior + Aeon Flux + Underworld + James Bond.... if you can imagine that..

SinisterSamurai Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Akira is post-apocalyptic. Not the movie, really (Although it does takeplace 30 years after World War III), but the manga very much is. The Manga is 6 volumes, at roughly 300-400 pages each. *SPOILERS*At the end of the third volume, Akira awakens and destroys the city, and the remaining three volumes take place in a super-city wasteland. If you are interested, of course buy it. But if you are interested for free, grab a torrent with the CBR files in it. Note: Comic Book Reader wasn't really designed for such large volumes (The average full american comic book is under 200 pages with all issues of a particular arc combined). All that means is that the pages start to "stick" about half-way through each volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
