Sidis photographed for his Harvard Graduation (1914).

Status: Partially Found/Lost

William James Sidis was an American child prodigy. His monumentous intellectual abilities, coupled with a seemingly tragic life story, have attracted wide interest from scholars, scientists, and popular commentators.

Status of Lost works

The preservation of Sidis's works is sketchy. He is known to have used many pseudonyms to publish his writings, and it is unclear if some of his known writings were even published at all. Amy Wallace, the only author to write a systematic biography of Sidis, had access to some of his writings and reproduced brief quotations in her book.

-[[File:Texas.jpg|thumb|285px|right|Map of the area progression of the game.]]
-The game, set in and progressing through areas of Texas, follows a war waging between the Brotherhood of Steel and a raider group known as The Cyphers. The Cyphers are recognized as the exact opposite of the Brotherhood of Steel; driving to destroy technology and eradicate the Brotherhood of Steel. The Cyphers have come into possession of a G.E.C.K (Garden of Ethan Creation Kit). Miles Reese, whom discovered the device, intends to use it to destroy human life and create a new world, overrun by vegetation.
-==Gameplay==
-Inspiration for the gameplay element was drawn from games such as ''Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance'', ''Diablo 2'', ''Fallout Tactics'', and the two original ''Fallout'' games.<ref name="style"/>
-Like the original title, the player was restricted to only the choice of picking from a range of per-created potential protagonist characters, each having respective skill sets.<ref name="Hi, I'm Paul"/>

-In addition to a new stealth system, the game incorporated a reputation system that would dictate the progression of the story based on the player's choice of morality throughout their playthrough.<ref name="Hi, I'm Paul">[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/f/fe/FOBOS2_design_document_32.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100122011542 Page #33 of the design doc]</ref>
+===The Peace Path====
-"Stage Bosses" would've have been battled to mark the end of every segment of the game.<ref>[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/FOBOS2_design_document_14.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100122011459 Page #14 of the design doc]</ref>
-==Development==
+==Other lost works==
-An observation by ProgrammingAce of the Game Of The Art forum, whom leaked the design document by Brian Freyermuth, follows the notion that the predecessor was intended as a mere source of funds for the the sequel; this strategic decision was responsible for the original's poorly-received game quality. <ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090314042051/http://gameoftheart.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4914 Archived copy of ProgrammingAce's original post]</ref>
-The game's development began before the original title.<ref name="Vault"/>
-The game's engine, Dark Alliance, was being refined for the game.<ref>[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/9/96/FOBOS2_design_document_04.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100122011345 Page #4 of the design doc]</ref> Quest structure would've been designed reminiscent of the style of the original ''Fallout''.<ref name="style"/>

-Like many games of the franchise, the game's style drew influence from the ''Mad Max'' series and films from the 1950s.<ref name="style">[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/d/d9/FOBOS2_design_document_03.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100122011344 Page #3 of the design document]</ref>

-===Cancellation===
-The game was cancelled when Interplay laid off the majority of their employees.<ref name="Vault">[http://www.thevaulttecinc.com/2014/05/canceled-fallout-games-history.html The Vault Tec Inc.'s post on cancelled ''fallout'' games]</ref> The game was never publicly announced.
-==Availability==
-The design document for the game was leaked in 2009, constituting almost all of the available information, filled with in-game photographs. Minus page 5, the entirety of the document is available. No gameplay footage has surfaced.
