Played a bit of Fallout 2 didn't like it and then my lcd had an lsd colour spectrum freak out. Bought Fallout 3 loved it still play it now and then. Tried playing Fallout 1 but really felt it was very badly paced due to turn based combat.
Played both 1 & 2 but I prefer the Infinity Engine games which I have always seen as being their fantasy contemporaries.
Fallout 3 was my first. But I went back and bought a box set of F01, F02, and F0:Tactics for 12 dollars.
Installed it. And ran south.
It was just so different from my style that I really didn't like it.

Played them all at their time. Judging by myself, I'd expect this mostly from gamers that are now in their mid to late 20's. When Fallout 1 was released I was a bit too young to be able to appreciate it fully (I was 14 or something), and it was a very special era of gaming, where you could buy The Dig one month, Pandora Directive the next, Diablo the following and Fallout right after that, so I was a bit overloaded on quality (yes, it can happen).
But I distinctly remember being on high school when I got Fallout 2 and it completely blew me away, I was playing it at the same time as my best friend and we finished it 4 times each trying to impress each other with little secrets that we've found and with our beefed up characters (we had no internet of course). I've finished it another 5 times at least since then, and today consider it one of my top 3 best games ever, for reasons that have been mentioned hundreds of times and need not be mentioned again.
As for Fallout 3, I've finished it 3 times on consoles and all playthroughs were quite different, which, if anything, shows a spectacular game. Haven't played the DLC's yet, waiting for the PS3 GOTY edition. It was much more restrictive and less imaginative in its settings than the 2 previous games, but the world came to life in a much more immediate and immersive way. My opinion is that it is a game made by true Fallout fanboys (in the best sense of the word), they did a good job, I enjoyed it a lot and can't wait to see them go even further with the series in the future.

fallout 1 and 2 I bought for a pound in a bargin bin, fell in love, they are classics, tactics was cool particulary for a xcom fan, brother hood of steel....was a bit pants but much newcastle brown and bensons and hedges and a mate with nothing to do for a weekend made it ok.... fallout 3 was fun for sure, but the capped levels and the fact you cant kill children really ticked me off.
i played FO1,2 and tactics prior to fallout 3, i didn't like tactics as much as 1 2 or 3, and fallout 3 is an amazing game is just seems so empty compared to 1 and 2, i wish there was more turn based rpg's and stratagy games ive just recently downloaded battle for wesnoth and so far its a pretty fun TBS
as for the guy that died to a rat while using a gun, thats what happens with only 3 agility, try starting with 8 or 9 makes the game much easier

I loved the first Fallout. I've got Fallout 2 around here somewhere and I swear I'll get around to playing it any day now.
Seriously, the first two were great.

I've played the entire series, 1 & 2 were great(mainly the story), tatics fails, BoS can die, and 3 IMO was the best gameplay wise. Oh and war, war never changes.
I had a lot of fun with Fallout, but never really got started on Fallout 2 or Tactics. I actually haven't ever played Fallout 3 because my computer just isn't powerful enough; I'll probably buy it on the cheap when I graduate and buy myself a new computer.
My first was demo of Fallout 1 but i could not find it in store so i bought Fallout 2 soon after. I loved it and finished few times (i also played few times without completing whole game). Then i got Fallout 1 which i liked too (but Fallout 2 was better).
I didn't liked idea of Fallout Tactics, but when it got cheaper i bought it too and surprisingly it wasn't that bad
Now i play Fallout 3 for about 6 months now. I quickly got bored, and i have no will to finish it. Story is poor, game becomes to easy very quickly and exploring doesn't bring anything satisfying.

All of them, in order.
All have their good and bad points, though tactics was the weakest of the series(if we are couting tactics as a "True" fallout game.

Yes, i played Fallout 1 and 2 (albiet after i played Fo3) and i enjoyed them to the extent that someone can after coming from a superior game. I was a slaver in Fo2 (lol) and so i had so many guns and so much ammo that i didnt know what to do with it.
