via Abandonware sites.

Whether a game is Abandonware is highly debatable.

Have you ever played Fallout 1 or Fallout 2 before?

Mine can run full screen via stretching.

Yes, I have managed to run the following games in Windows XP without any configuration:

1. Freespace 1
2. Freespace 2
3. Fallout 1

I need the tick the Windows 98 compatibility mode for Fallout Tactics.

And yes they all run full screen with my 24inch LCD, however it's stretched.

Got it. It no longer looks stretched.

Graphics maybe dated but the story is still gold.

rclxm9.gif I think the promo is on every interplay games; this is the best time to get all 3 classic fallout games, the problem is now i need to think of a fourth game.  hmm.gif

How about the following

1. Freespace 2?

2. Kabuto?

3. Sacrifice?

Personally, I would go for Freespace 2 since the community modded it so heavily where its mod is around 8gb with around 5 extra campaigns and all its movies reworked.

Since got the 1for 1, i thinking of getting fallout and fallout 2. But someone here said that fallout tactics doesnt work 100% and need to put into compatability mode sucks abit.

I wonder if these games will be compatible when windows 7 comes out. Will there be any support for windows 7 for current existing games?

I also waiting when the gog actually do x-com but not the whole series, just unknown enemy and terror from the deep.

It is likely to be compatible with Windows 7 since they claimed most games are compatible with Vista.

Also, there is a very active community which you can rely on.

Sometimes games are cheaper in Steam and sometimes in GOG.

For eg. Jagged Alliance 2 Gold in cheaper in Steam now, whilst Sacrifice is cheaper in GOG.

Also, do check the forums first in GOG whether do they have loads of mods that may have to overwrite the .exe files.

Generally, I get full speed download from GOG these days.

I have tried the Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 high resolution pack.

Some notes with regards the Fallout 1 high res pac:

- Can't run it at 1920x1200, 16 bit, crashes on startup, runs find on 1920x1200 8 bit, ingame fonts was a bit too small for me, suggest to run on 1440x800.

Some notes with regards the Fallout 2 high res pac:

- Able to run all res 16 bit or 8 bit well, fonts are similar for most resolutions.

* I don't think the Steam version can be mod as this reso packs actually modify the executable file.

Prior to the high res pack, it is Fallout icons for both Fallout 1 and Fallout 2, after that it changes to some guy.

we need a client like steam 2 download the game and play ?

No.

You can either download from their website straight or use their sort of download manager software where you can queue your downloads and pause / resume them at anytime.

Upon downloading, you will get a single executable installation file whereby you can install in any PC to your liking without any DRM.

in that case, if both u and me buy the same game, we are actually getting the same exe ? Likely

during installation there's no request of cdkey , activation key or watsoever ? Bought quite a number of games, have yet to see CD-key or activation key

am i able to resume download using dl manager ? Yes, as indicated in the previous post

How about Ultima series? The 6th, 7th and 8th was fun.

Completed Ultima 7: The Black Gate and had to learn a bit of Shakespeare.
