What our customer's say!

"Legendary.", 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.

"Can't wait for 3!", 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!

"Worth the purchase", 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.

"How to solve install problems", Many of us have had problems installing Fallout 2. I managed to fix the problem by opening up the DVD and going to the "Bonuses" folder then the "patches" folder, where I found a "Read me" file which explained that the master.dat or critter.dat files were a possible cause.

I manually deleted the master.dat FOLLDER from the Fallout 2 folder on my hard disk, then dragged the master.dat FILE from the DVD into the Fallout 2 folder on my hard disk.

This seemed to do the trick.

Good luck.

"Technical issues but a fun game", This collection includes Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics. 2 and Tactics seem to work fine but i bought it just for Fallout 1 so i'll talk about that.

Fallout 1 was released over a decade ago. This DVD installs Fallout 1 version 1.2, released in 1997, long before Windows XP. i already owned this game but my copy didn't run on XP so i bought this. And learned that this has exactly the same problem. Specifically, the game screen goes black every few seconds. i spent a couple of hours searching Google and found that this was a common problem but that there was no solution. Common solutions offered include updating (or downgrading) graphics drivers, trying patches, setting the compatibility mode and adjusting screen resolution, none of which have any effect. So i was really, really sad when i got this game (again) and realized i still couldn't play it

i spent another couple of days researching it and i think i've got something. The screen in Fallout 1 (but not 2 or Tactics, which are newer games) goes black because some application changed the way it looked. Maybe a Web browser refreshed itself or an icon in your status bar changed colors. Anything that changes the way it looks causes Windows to redraw the screen (to update it to the new way it should look). Fallout 1 doesn't know that, even in Win 95 compatibility mode, so it gets blacked out by Windows but doesn't redraw itself

The solution is to shut down everything before starting Fallout 1. It's not a great solution and it took me several days (this time; i tried before months ago) to figure out. None of the Fallout sites that i found mentioned it. But i've been playing with it for a few hours and if i shut down my Web browser i only get the black out screen once every five minutes rather than every five seconds

i'm assuming you already know about the game. It's ancient and it feels that way (especially the inventory management) and looks that way but it's a ton of fun. The game itself is 5 stars but getting it to work on any computer sold in (roughly) the last decade is a 1. Few people will put up with the technical issues but it's great if you can get it to work

"Fallout collection DVD", Amazing been looking for this installation files have been updated to let fallout one and two run on xp/vista

"Heck of a deal for two of the best RPGs ever made and Tactics is okay I guess", Fallout fans tend to measure all other cRPGs by the rather tough standards Fallout 1 and 2 laid out and have for the most part been disappointed as a result of it in recent years.

The game's weren't considered particularly pretty even for their time but the relevance of player and character choice in the games is unmatched by any modern cRPG out there. The perk system is probably one of the the first elements of a computer roleplaying game to actually get adopted by pen & paper games and is sheer genius considering the original devs had to improvise on the fly when GURPS creator Steve Jackson pulled himself and the GURPS license off of the project.

It's quite possibly the most replayable RPG series I've ever experienced owing to the vast number of different ways quests and obstacles can be resolved.

So come find out why Fallout Fans have a reputation for being so incredibly insufferable when it comes to the slightest changes, real or perceived when it comes to speculation on Bethesda's Fallout 3.

"One of the best PC series ever.", Having purchased all three of the original games when they first came out I was overjoyed to hear that they grouped them all together in one collection. Both my Fallout and Fallout 2 CD's were scratched so bad they would not load on my PC anymore and the 1st disk of my FO:T was snapped in half rendering it useless. After hearing word that the loooong awaited Fallout 3 is due out in Fall of 2008 (on PS3 and XBox 360) I had to get my hands on the original 3 again.

"Fallout Collection Set", It was def. everything I was hoping it would be.
Contains all 3 Fallout games, quickly installs, and easy to play.
A great buy if you love RPGs, and don't mind less quality graphics, but better emphasis on storyline and a focus on the game play instead.

"War. War never changes...", Fallout 1 and 2 are classic role playing games that feature a post-apocolyptic setting, but one can figure that out by looking at the cover of the box. What cannot be seen at first is the subtle humor that fallout fans have come to love. These games may be over ten years old, but they still have replayability. This collection will put a smile on "Mad Max", "Escape from New York", and other post-apoc fans' faces.

Fallout 1 may have a definite end without the v1.01 patch (it eliminates the 500 day timer after completing the main quest), but it had a great balance of complexity as well as simplicity in play. The player can beat this game in under two or three hours if they knew what/where the objective was, and yet, the game can take 50+ hours if the player wanted to find every quest in their PipBoy 2000, a futuristic personal digital assistant, completed.

Fallout 2 delivers more excitement than Fallout 1 did. It improved upon the various systems of Fallout 1, continued its' dark humor, and provided a never-ending gameplay from version 1. As with Fallout 1, the game can take as little time to play as a few hours to the same amount of time, if not more, Fallout 1 allowed us.

Fallout: Tactics was a slight upset to Fallout fans, but provided an interesting tatical concept. With about 18 missions to complete, the player will find increasingly difficult missions and will attempt to get the best AAR* possible. Your successes and failures do change the outcome of the future, whether it be having a new team mate or a helpful armorsmith.

My final words will be that this collection will provide hours of entertainment for gamers who enjoy RPG's regardless of graphics and for those that have played this/these games, having them on one DVD with extra content is great.

*(In military terms, AAR stands for "After Action Review", or an assessment of what went well in a mission and what could have been improved on.)
