Fallout 1 works just fine in Vista but I haven't even fired up Fallout 2 yet. I saw on the forums (the GOG interface is nice) that some people think that Fallout 1 is the UK version and Fallout 2 is the US version (time to walk the pickpocket alley with armed explosives). The UK version removes the children sprites but there is a patch that will correct this. I installed the patch before playing so I do not know if this is true but I there are children with the patch and I do not see any differences with my recollection of the original US version.

I really want Fallout 1+2 but I don't think I'll get a key in the next 2 days :(

Have they added any new older games since they first announced it? I'm curious how many they'll add to their list and how fast. I havent signed up yet. Just sitting on the sideline and waiting to see how it works out.

Won't really know until tomorrow when they've opened the site up to everyone. If you don't have a key, then you're not in the beta and don't have access to their game list.

We'll be accepting sign-ups for the exclusive access until Monday, September 22 at 11:59 p.m. (EDT).

I think that can be read to mean it will open tomorrow, but who knows.

Everybody Check your email. Looks like the beta keys were sent out early this morning, if you already didn't get one. Set up my account and am downloading Fallout right now!

Yep, just got mine and created my account. Not really sure Pirate is a gender, but that's what I picked.

Edit: hmmm, apparently now the site is down for maintenance.

I downloaded Fallout and apparently you can only install it to Drive C. Changing it to any other drive created a diskspace error message. That is going to suck if all of the games have to be installed to C.
