psy_commando Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I don't know if this count as advertisement, given you don't have to pay or anything, and I don't get anything out of it, but anyways.Good Old Games is giving away fallout 1-2 and tactics for free for 24h, because the license holder is changing and they won't be able to offer them for sale soon, although they'll stay in your account afterwards, so if you like to play some classic awesome games I guess this is a great occasion! What makes it different from steam's pack is that you get various goodies you don't get with the pack, like soundtracks, and the actual fallout bible written by the game devs!I just thought I should share this with our fellow fallout fans !I don't know if I should put the link to GOG here or if it would be against the rules or something ?

DoctorAllosaurus Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 It's preferable to get the GOG version of these games because they work right off the bat unlike the Steam versions that require various fixes to get running properly, just be warned that gogs servers are getting hammered pretty hard so it might take a few attempts to actually get the games.

Vulvokunvrii Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I'd have liked them if they worked. My pc is too advanced to play them. They look like a five year old got high, and started coloring with crayons and oil pastels. So the games are unplayable for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
