frankc Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Futurama kind of fits the bill, even though it's not specifically a post-apocalyptic world. Sure, there's been like 6 or 7 apocalypses - but they didn't really seem to matter all that much. But it's a world where things don't work by science, but by... SCIENCE! The giant mutant ants, glowing zombies, ray guns, nuclear soda, and clanking power armor could have come straight out of any episode. Now someone just needs to mod in a Bender companion, add some affectionate Amazons ruled by a lonely femputer, and turn those preservation booths into suicide booths.

LHammonds Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I don't know if this has been mentioned but a TV show called Jericho is about a town in the aftermath of a nuclear fallout (multiple nuclear strikes in the US). It was a VERY good series and is available to watch every episode on the link I provided. I'd recommend it to anyone. LHammonds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LHammonds It's a very good show, but the first season is slow (probably about 1/3 of it could be edited out without losing anything). The second season is almost too action packed - but I would lurv to play a game set in a hypothetical third season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealLordSanta Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 In the books department, there is one, which stands out from the crowd (if you ask me), "Kadavermarch", I don't know if it's available in any other language, but Danish; but it is basically a Zombie book, but very post-apok. Then there is "The Omega Man"; movie, old classic. Regarding games, there is; S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl + Clear SkyWastelands (the predecessor of the Fallout series)The Fall - Last Days of Gaia (only available in German, but there is a fan-made translation, floating around the web) Then of course the "Living Dead" movie-series; George A. Romero's zombie-cavalcade, gory and very post-apok. Well worth your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIX510 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 My absolute favorite book in this realm is "A Canticle for Leibowitz" by American author Walter Miller. If you are reading this and haven't read "Canticle", you're already a fan and don't even know it. Here's a Wiki on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Canticle_for_Leibowitz Kudos to those who listed the movie "Six String Samurai"! My favorite line from the movie: "Only one man could kill this many Russians." peas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
