Totally wrong section, Amigo. You want to go http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/forum/34-series-discussion/.
And I got the Triple pack, Fallout 1, Fallout 2, and Tactics, at Walmart, for less than $20.
The only other option I can think is buy it online, or subscribe to http://www.gametap.com/.

you can buy them at GAME. I was there the other week and I saw a special disk set with both FO1, FO2 and another FO game in. its for PC only tho. it was actually pretty cheap aswell.

That shouldn't really be a problem for anybody though, because the requirements for the first fallout games are extremely low.

Ha, its a problem for me, as i 'acquired' my pc from my dads office and its very old, its also the family pc and so runs at snailspace, but i'll get a new pc once ive got my first car.

I played F2 back in 2000 on a second hand laptop and it ran just fine.

I'm sure your machine could handle it, although reinstalling Windows from scratch might be a good idea.

The 1,2 & Tactics box is really good value for money, I got it along with 2 other games for only ￡10

Not sure how accurate this is, but when I asked if I could run them I was told that if you can post on these forums, you can run Fallout 1 and 2. Turned out to be true for me atleast...

See, I told you!

As Unholy2012 said, if you can post here, chances are you can play the game just fine.

Agreed, when I looked at the minimum system requirements for the FO Trilogy I laugehd so hard it says the processor must be so many Mhz not Ghz!!! ha ha and the amount of RAM required is just insanely low. Where there minimum requirements top of the line when FO first came out?

I installed it on my very crappy laptop (it's very crappy) and it runs just as well as it would on a PC

I don't think they were, no, but as I got into hardware later (my first "very own" processor was a 400MHz Pentium II), I can't quite say.

If your machine can run Windows 2000 or higher, it can run F1/2.

Those were pretty average on the day. There wasn't much to laugh about clock frequencies of games then, as computers were generally bit more expensive back then, partially to effective Intel monopoly, AMD got competitive about year or two later. RAM was much more expensive and FO2 had memory not so nice save file baking bug combined with memory handling problems, 266Mhz PII and 32Mb RAM had rather long load times when nearing end of game.

Well, although I have a good computer, my computer seems to have a hard time running old games..
