    EDIT: DONE.. ITS OVER


    So i bought this:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/gam...s/693105-gog-com-32-interplay-games-35-a.html

    But I already owned:
    Fallout
    Fallout 2
    Fallout Tactics
    Freespace 2

    I have a gift code for the above 4 games. Giving it away randomly to someone on here that would like to experience the fantastic original Fallout series that never had a chance to. Not to mention the legendary Freespace 2 (for which there are a number of mods, conversions, and improvement projects..).

    I'll pick someone at random from this thread at ~10PM EST so just reply.

    Grampy-bone doin the killin right now...

    EDIT: Just to be clear it's a single code that's good for all 4 games.

    I've tried to play the old Fallout titles on my smartphone, but these unofficial ports were so unstable and slow that they were barely playable. After that I somehow never got around to getting them, so this would be a nice opportunity to finally play them ;) .

    Also I've spent most of my free time last week trying to get Fallout 3 to work on my new laptop, because apparently the game has issues with quad core CPUs.. (And I didn't succeed which drives me crazy >.< ) So if you happen to know some secret solution to make Fallout 3 not crash every 10 minutes (I've tried the more common solutions found on the forums) I'd really appreciate that as well.

    I did already :/. Tried the modded .ini file, tried changing some lines in the .ini file, tried, reinstalling, patching the game and downloading a .dll. No success with any of them..

    Major fallout fan here, but never got the chance to play the originals. Freespace would be awesome too :D

    Thanks for giving us a chance to experience the classics without paying for them lol
