Hey guys, I was wondering, do the 3 Fallout games work on vista? Also are they still worth getting today? I mean how do they hold up? Are they like a futuristic version of Diablo? And lastly, how graphic are they? I heard that they have a lot of violence and sexual themes. I do not want my parents after me on this. My limit is Doom 3 or Half-life 2. Thanks :)

They worked for me without any tinkering. I think it's worth it, I'm almost finished playing the 1st, and it's great, you can't find gameplay like that in todays games.

You can't compare it to Diablo, it's not a hack and slash, and the combat is turn based. Graphically it's ok, It's not going to impress you of-course, but you can live with it.

As for violence, there is a bit of violence, especially if you have the Bloody Mess trait. Sexual themes I don't know, I haven't noticed anything yet, you'll have to ask someone else.

Yes they work with Vista, I bought the GSP White Label bundle. It comes with all 3 games and their patches and some extra goodies. I think it is worth it if you can get it for under $20. I wouldn't compare it to Diablo, but if you like playing Diablo you should like playing the Fallout series. Its more graphic in the conversations you will have but I think you should be alright with your parents on this one.

I've gotten both Fallout 1 & 2 to work on Vista, dunno about Fallout Tacticts.

And yes, both games contain a whole lot of mature content. They're not graphic in the sense that you'll always be seeing blood and gore everywhere on screen (although there can be a fair bit, especially with a certain trait enabled), it's more in the dialogue and actions/decisions you'll make. The game certainly has a very dark sense of humor, that's for sure.

ya Fallout is a very violent game.

you can turn down the blood and stuff but you don't get any gore animations or anything.

I love fallout 1, as for sexual themes, you will mostly encounterings things like,"What kind of servicess do you offer", and buying an invitation for "merchandise" bu no porn or actualy meeting a hooker, and you can diable the blood

It is less violent then Doom 3
And has little sexual themes.
It will also run on Vista and XP

So you should be safe to play it.
