Where'd you grab the demo for fallout anyway? Just wondering, since I've been meaning to try it as well.

Well, as it happens, I was cleaning out my room ovr the weekend, and came across a cd with it on it. I remembered that magic was looking for it so... Tada!
Edit: Just get the whole directory. Oh, and it works fine in Windows 95 compatability mode. |

True, that.
Oh, and if you do buy Fallout 2 - Install the patch before you start playing! It invalidates your saves...  Edit: I believe that there may have been a DOS varsion of Fallout 1, but the demo is definitely Windows only. |

:w00t: There's *tons* of bugs in the initial release! You may have a later version. There's little that'll crash it, but there's a load of problems with some quests (especially the more complex ones, like in New Reno)
Regardless, the game is well-playable without it, but it's better with imo! One more thing: This demo is a fairly bad representation of Fallout - the actual game has a slightly easier to use interface, and has a good bit more roleplaying; the demo just winds down into a big fight. That's not to say I didn't play it a load of times to see every possible outcome! (Usually me taking everyone on with the minigun  ) |

Wow. I never noticed. I DO have the original released. I know some of the bugs in Reno, but overall the game works excellently.
I never played the Demo, I just got the game. Impulse buy worked out quite well :whistle: |
