Are you kidding? What else can be said about the best series of RPGs ever. My love of the post-apocalyptic realm started with Wasteland on C-64 and culminated with these classics. With only the excellent Stalker:SOC to tide me over until Fallout 3, its been a long wait. If you've never played them and turn-based is not your cup of tea then I would recommend Fallout:Tactics, faster paced and real-time.
BTW not being able to get the game to run on your system is not a reason to give a game a bad review..patches are easily found by competent users.
I was not yet into PC games when Fallout originally was released in '97. Having seen the screenshots and press about Fallout 3, I thought I'd try to find the original 2 and get some backstory on the look and feel of the Fallout world. I've played the first and am partway through the second and let me just say, I thoroughly enjoy it! You can customize a character to fit virtually any type you can think of. Want to play a smooth-talking thief type? You can. Want to play a big burly bruiser? Go for it. There are some types that are easier to play than others, of course, but it's a pretty well-balanced game. I would highly recommend this game to anyone who likes RPGs and/or is planning to get Fallout 3. I'm going to go reserve mine copy now!
This is a classic game, and the fact that it works like a charm on both Vista and XP is a bonus. After the install the disc isn't needed to play, which is a nice convenience. The disc also has some cool bonus stuff on it...nothing major, but a nice touch.
All in all, three great games for a great price. Well worth it.
