It was a crude way to express an “era” for when it was released, because I couldn’t be arsed googling for a release date.
It appears as though Fallout is an early 1997 game. Windows 3.x seemed to still be the dominant OS (or at least MS-DOS) at 52% of the market with Win95 accounting for 32%, so I would imagine that the game would still be built with 16-bit architectures in mind.
