Well, the game is free on Gametap. So unless you have a 64-bit OS or Gametap's version of Fallout turns out to just be screwy for you, then I'm going to say no.JP_Russell

There is a monthly fee to play the "gold" games, but they have free games which you can play without a fee. 

I just tried gametap.

I can play older SNES and NES games.

I can't run Fallout.  I also tried to run Theif, Psychonauts, and Deus Ex and none of them would run for me.

An... An "OP rating system?"

...Well, that's a first. Well, your 64-bit OS is probably why those games you speak of don't work. Probably has something to do with Gametap using only 32-bit executables for any of the games put on it. The old arcade games are just emulated, basically, so it makes sense that you would have no trouble running those.

I should also mention that if you're not in North America, Gametap won't let you play any M-rated games because of the fact that a lot of those games aren't allowed in places like Germany and such (or some stupid crap like that).

Just go ahead and get it from GoG.

Stealing is bad, just like Pirating is bad. Just throwing it out there just in case. :)

And man are you really that tight with money, you gotta ask on a forum if $6 is a good deal or not? ;)

To bad you didn't get it back when it was like 6$ for both 1 and 2 at walmart.Hells_rebelion

Actually in my opinion the main point of these 6$ is the fact that the game is optimized to work under XP and Vista. I had more then one issue replaying Fallout 1 & 2 under XP.

Looking back, buying the original Fallout  was the best decision of my life.

In all seriousness, six bucks is a great deal.

64bit OP rating systemvisceron

Maybe this is just funny to me but I figured out what I was thinking.  Pretty sure I was torn between saying OS and spelling out operating system and came up with OP rating system.  Guess I am just retarded.
