Fallout 4 Police Box
While playing the original Fallout game, players stumble upon a police box. However, it is revealed that it is not just any police box but a TARDIS from Doctor Who. Some users speculate that the term 'police box' is used for legal reasons and debate whether alternative terms should be employed.
Elsewhere, users recommend playing Fallout 1 with low intelligence points for hilarious dialogue. The tone between Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 is also compared. One user shares a comical dialogue from Fallout 2 involving a power armor mishap.
Doctor Who TARDIS Fallout
Despite some dismissing the Doctor Who reference, claiming it is just an ordinary police box, others make connections to Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail. There is a correction of the spelling of TARDIS, and a user admits to not being a Doctor Who fan. Disappointment is expressed regarding the franchise's current state in Fallout 76 without a sequel.
Fallout 1 and 2
A user fondly reminisces about playing Fallout 1 and 2 when they were new games. However, they acknowledge that the turn-based combat has not aged well. Another user simply responds with 'Ok.' A humorous comment surfaces about the Doctor parking the TARDIS nearby to block radioactivity. There is also a debate about whether the Doctor Who Police Box appears in the original Fallout or Fallout 2.
Older games vs. newer games

'I miss the old RPG games too. I miss being able to destroy children, too.'
'I actually preferred the older Fallout games. The multiple endings were great, and you had a lot more freedom.'
'I actually liked the more lighthearted tone of Fallout 2.'
'I remember playing Fallout 2 and being confused by the Doctor Who reference. I didn't know what a TARDIS was.'
'You can lower your intelligence in Fallout 2, and it'll give you dialogue options like 'That's a big bag of loot'.'

'I had the same thought! That is definitely a TARDIS.'
'A TARDIS is bigger on the inside.'
