GOG.com is offering Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics for free for the next two days as part of their Winter Promo giveaway. That's a savings of $29.97 compared to their regular price.
The Fallout series is a post-apocalyptic action role playing game series in which you assume the role of a Vault Dweller, the survivor of a nuclear apocalypse who must now roam the radiation-blasted landscape looking for parts to restore the water making ability of their home Vault. Fallout 1 and 2 continue the same story line, set 80 years apart from one another, while Fallout Tactics is actually a spinoff game that focuses on tactical combat rather than role-playing.
Like much of GOG.com's catalog, the three free Fallout games are older - Fallout originally debuted in 1997, Fallout 2 in 1998 and Fallout Tactics in 2001. Also, like many of GOG.com's games, the three Fallout games are not 'native' Mac (or Windows) ports - in fact, they run inside of a DOS emulator. Having said that, they work on a wide variety of Intel-based Macs and are a lot of fun to play, so don't let a little emulation stand in your way of having a great time - for free.
Editor's note: As I posted this on Friday GOG.com's web site seemed a bit overwhelmed with traffic, so don't be surprised if you have to retry a few times before the game's download.

Meghan Trainor hosting March Today At Apple session in California
Meghan Trainor will host a Today at Apple session at Apple's Third Street Promenade on Monday, March 9.
Fallout 1 was originally designed to run at 640x480 resolution. I wanted to run the Mac OS X version of Fallout on my MacBook 11', which has a 1366x768 display. There is a high resolution patch, but it only supports the Windows version of Fallout.
Turns out that the OS X version of Fallout runs through Wine, so we can get this patch working with just a few configuration changes:
Note for Fallout 2 users: The process for Fallout 2 is essentially the same, with a different patch, and some minor pathing differences. Other than that, the process is exactly the same!
Install Wine
Note: Installing Wine will take some time. You may move on to 'Configure Fallout's Wine Launcher' while Wine is installing, but wait until the Wine installation is complete before attempting 'Configure and Patch'.
Configure Fallout's Wine
![]() Install the High Res Patch
Configure and Patch
Note: Make sure Wine is installed before performing these steps.
Run Fallout
That's it! You should now be able to run Fallout in a higher resolution. You may need to tweak the patch configuration and Fallout's Wine to get it working.
Troubleshooting'Error initializing video mode'
If you get a Windows-style error message that says 'Error initializing video mode', it means that Fallout's Wine and the patch are not configured to the same resolution. They must match to work.
Inverted/Distorted Colors
If the game runs but the colors are inverted/distorted, it means the 'd3dx9' DLL is not installed in Fallout's Wine. See 'Configure Fallout's Wine', step 6.
