I have the exact laptop that you just said ( the dell inspiron 15 ) and no it won't with windows 7... the only one that will work is Fallout Tactics. I was pretty bummed becuz i really wanted to try out fallout and fallout 2... well good luck, maybe u won't be getting win7?blooddog28Well, I don't have Windows 7...
Well, I don't have Windows 7...Good!!! IF your getting windows xp it should work just fine! :)[QUOTE="blooddog28"]I have the exact laptop that you just said ( the dell inspiron 15 ) and no it won't with windows 7... the only one that will work is Fallout Tactics.

Well, I have one and my wife has one. Both Core2Duo with Windows 7. I don't run my games on mine (but in my desktop PC), but she runs The Sims 3 (and expansion) on hers quite well actually, so I really don't see why you couldn't run such old and light-resource games. And once while travelling I installed Nibiru and Kult and they both ran fine. I'm pretty sure Kult is way "heavier" than FO1 & 2 and Tactics... I'd advise you to get a mouse though, that touchpad is hell to play...
well the problem is windows 7 has a harder time playing "older" pc games than newer games. Win7 is most defintally compatible with games within the 2008-2009 era an most 2005-2006 games, but games older than that you have to do a little research on before you buy. And yeah, i always use a mouse on my laptop (i game on my laptop)Lithos_Well, I have one and my wife has one. Both Core2Duo with Windows 7.

Yeah, I've played Morrowind on my laptop before and that's more advanced, so I'd say that that the old Fallout games should work fine, I was just making sure. And I do have a USB mouse. It makes life so much easier.Well, I have one and my wife has one. Both Core2Duo with Windows 7.

heh yeah, considering that the gog versions runs flawless, on my vista 64 bit, I doubt it would not run on win7.
Heck even fallout 2 and tactics from the interplay collection packran perfectly fine out of the box, with FO1, just having to have set properties, which took about 30 secs, (so I got all games to run from the interplay collection, without much tweaking.
If you are not comfident with the ability to set properties (you know right click on the launch icon :P) the GOG versions will woek fine :P

DosBox is a program designed to make really old windows games work on newer operating systems. Some games that you can get off of Steam such as Doom II come with it built into the game because it wouldn't work on newer PCs without it.

It's called "DOS"box for a good reason, not WINbox or something like that. From what I remember, the Fallout games aren't made to run through DOS, just like carlosjuero said, that means that DOSbox has nothing to do with it (not sure about Fallout, but 2 was definitely not MSDOS same with tactics).Please Log In to post.
