I mainly got this for the tactics game. Other family members love fallout 1 & 2. It does have a few issues crashing with XP, but so far tactics does not. Tried to find a patch for 1&2 online without any luck. Overall I am happy with the game considering that it's running on XP, instead of the OP it was designed for.

DO NOT BUY FOR A LAPTOP

Buyer beware. Apparently this game will NOT work on laptops. I have a laptop, and I've had no problems with the previous two games I've bought for it (Morrowind and Jedi Knight II). After being really excited for Fallout 3, I decided to buy the Fallout Collection--although, not without hesitation because I've had a history of problems with trying to PC game. As it turns out, I should have listened to my hesitations because this game doesn't work. On-board graphics (whatever that means) are not compatible with this game, and most laptops have on-board graphics, which I discovered after consulting the support information for this game. I'm fairly pissed, and I'm reminded of the reason I play games on consoles. Although I'm only out $20, I would have rather spent the money on something else--like my Fallout 3 reservation, or some beer. You have been warned.

wow i found a good game.

this game is sweet good story but the first one's story is kinda dumb here it is the world was in a war and nukes went off they made vaults to protect every one you find out that your vaults water is going to run out in 150gamedays u can make it 250 by buying water but after you get the water and kill the big bad mutans u get back just so u can get kicked out of the vault i cant tell all the story [spoilers] but all of the games are relly good.

It's not a bad game, but I can't get into it much. Fallout 1 suffers from blackouts on XP (I've tried every fix listed online, so I'll probably have to run a virtual machine with Win 95 or something), but Fallout 2 can run on XP fine. I'm about 3 hours into it, though I don't care for it too much. I personally prefer Diablo 2, though Fallout allows much more interaction with the environment.

Check out no mutants allowed for the patches and stuff for the game.

As to the games: It's Fallout. By this point, one shouldn't need a review of the games. They're amongst the best games of all time (Tactics excluded), and no recommendation can be high enough. They just don't make 'em like this anymore.

However! Something has to be said about the reliability of the games. First: you likely will need to crack Fallout Tactics. For whatever reason, in Vista, the game does not recognize the CD as being a game CD. Thankfully, gamecopyworld.com is still a bountiful resource for safe No-CD cracks.

Also, from what I've heard of friends' experiences with this collection, some of the bugs that Fallout and Fallout 2 experience on WinXP are serious enough to ruin the game experience. For what it's worth, Vista has had no game-breaking issues with any of the collection so far.

There are, however, odd graphical glitches (the game screen has a tendency to suddenly go black; saving when this happens clears up the issue), and certain still-unresolved gameplay bugs that amount to minor annoyance.

Greater on the annoyance scale is that the games *still* bother you to register them despite both Interplay and Black Isle no longer existing, and the publisher of this collection, GSP, seems to have their own agenda trying to push a "register and get a free game" thing. Once again, individually small issues that add to the larger annoyance factor.

Bottom Line: It's Fallout. Play it. Sure, there are some annoying technical issues, but lets be realistic. It's Fallout.

The Fallout "Cult Classic" Pack

This is a combination of the Fallout series so far, and it is very good. Everyone that is a fan of this cult classic should get this pack if they don't already own them.

I've always loved these games, and to have them all on one disc is great.
