The lights are on
War never changes, but in this case, it left for a while and came back. In January, publishing rights for classic Fallout games transferred from Interplay to Bethesda. At that time, the titles were removed from GoG and Steam.
Now, Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics are available once more on Steam. You can pick each up for $9.99.
All three titles support Steam Cloud saves. Fallout and Fallout 2 have both a classic and default version. The latter offers higher resolutions. Fallout Tactics continues to offer multiplayer via direct connect options (which means you can play with those who own the game via other services).
Note that Fallout Tactics can’t run on Windows 8. The other two titles will work just fine on Microsoft’s latest operating system.

Our TakeWe’ve heard rumblings about an impending Steam summer sale, and this timing might mean there are deals coming soon. Even if not though, these are great games that you should definitely make time for at some point. They’ve aged nicely.
Played the original Fallout for the first time a few months ago. It really is a great game.
I wish they'd get the issues for the 2009 Wolfenstein figured out and put it back up on Steam.
This can finaly be my chance to play the original fallout games.
I love Fallout 3, but I could never get into the original games. I can see why people like them though.
Funny, I could find places to pick up all three for $10 instead of $30.
I also got all three for free a couple months ago from GoG.
Already have them. thanks, Gog.
Weird. I looked yesterday just to tell if I could pick it up and found it strange it wasn't on sale.
I highly recommend Fallout 1 and 2 to any CRPG fan. They've aged remarkably well when compared to other older RPGs.
Fallout 2 and to a slightly lesser extent Tactics are both BadAss games. Fallout 2 was super hard though. And I just checked, why no GOG love?
The best series ever.
Played these games years ago, really excited to finally be able to pick them up again.
Never played any of the older Fallout games. Been wanting to try them, just never got the chance.
