can somebody please give me a trustworthy download link to fallout 1? this seems the only trustworthy place to ask.

GOG.com seems to receive a lot of praise. I always buy hard copies and got mine extremely cheap. Unfortunately there isn't a sale on the download as of now, but as I said GOG is very good about patching their games (unlike Steam).

I am kind of looking for a free download . . . PC gamer on the extreme poverty budget.

You're not going to find one that's legal*, and discussion of "alternative" download sites is forbidden on this forum.

* - unless someone is offering a giveaway deal, anyhow. I haven't heard of anything like that recently.

Considering I haven't seen a give-away in a while.. You're asking for an illegal download or torrent? Afraid I can't help there.

thank you for your help though

thank you everyone, I am now aware that I cant discuss certain things here, I will obey the rules of the forums. and i did find a cheaper version. illegal activity isn't really my thing either.

For your information, the following link is to a thread discussing the forum rules.

Since this matter has been resolved, and treads very close to unwelcome territory, I'm going to go ahead and lock this.
