Some would say Tim Cain is the original mastermind of the Fallout series and setting. He was the lead programmer on Fallout 1. Initially, he was the only one working on Interplay's GURPS project, creating the game's engine. Later the team grew and he went from lead programmer to producer when Tom Decker left the project.

After completing Fallout 1 Tim went on to do some pre-production work on Fallout 2 before leaving Interplay to set up Troika Games with Leonard Boyarsky and Jason D. Anderson.

Typing "boom", on the Fallout credits will show an animation of his head exploding.
