As part of their Winter Sale, GOG.com offers Fallout 1 and 2 as well as Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel for free for the next 48 hours. If somehow you don't have them yet, grab them!
I actually bought them all off GOG a few weeks back. Still, I'm certainly telling my friends to get them. They have no excuse now.
I heard that this is because GOG is losing the license to sell Fallout at the end of the month. Which might also mean I can't re-download it from them. Does anyone know if there is any truth to that?
Please note that all three classic Fallout titles are pending right holder change. Sadly, to the best of our knowledge, we'll be forced to remove Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics from our offer. That doesn't mean, however, that you won't be able to download them if they are already a part of collection by then. Secure your copies today (or anytime before Saturday, December 14, at 1:59PM GMT)!
I tried this game because of all the good reviews it received. I then proceeded to download it. In tried it once and stopped playing after thirty seconds.
I would not recommend this game to anyone who does not like RPGs. Go straight to Fallout 3, as it has elements of an FPS in it.
