BrotherhoodOfSteel writes " Accelerate your Mac reports that MacPlay is re-releasing Fallout as part of their value series. This is the original (good) version and the new release will be Mac OS X-compatible. MacGamer has a preview. And since it's news, there must be a press release." Those who have played Fallout and Fallout 2 can vouch for the quality of narrative in this single-player RPG. Now if someone would port Fallout 2, life would be complete for Macintosh users.

Fallout again by mmarlett · 2002-06-19 16:46 · Score: 4, Informative

I dusted off my copy of Fallout this winter and threw it on my 2X 800 MHz G4 and played it under OS X -- obviously in Classic mode. But I was shocked at the lack of bugs. There was a problem with the mouse pointer trailing, but the 1/2 hour it used to take to load saved games was gone. Most importantly, sawing a mutant in half with a mini gun was still just as satisfying.

I'll buy the OS X version just in case my trigger finger gets itchy.
