First Appearance: Fallout (1997)

Vault-Boy. Vault-Boy never changes. Well, except for getting a twatty haircut like a Premier League footballer, dying it bleach-blonde, and ditching the yellow Ghostbusters outfit for a fetching cobalt jump suit. 1997's Vault-Tec mascot looks a lot like Prince Harry about to do some washing up, but he does seem better suited (quite literally) for wandering a post-nuclear wasteland. The gloves are a wise choice.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
