Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics - Free on GoG

Via Rock, Paper, Shotgun:

As the headline says, three Fallout games for free. GO AND GET THEM. These isometric beauties will vanish from GOG at the end of the year. The DRM-free store doesn’t reckon it’ll be allowed to peddle them after year’s end as the current deal with Interplay will expire. After December 31st, the rights belong to Bethesda/ZeniMax. However, the magic of GOG means that if you add the free versions to your account in the next 47 hours (I’m an hour late with this post – SORRY), you’ll be able to keep a copy forever. Go go go.

It’s worth noting that the Fallouts aren’t definitely for the chop, although GOD certainly seem to think that’s the case – “Please note that all three classic Fallout titles are pending right holder change. Sadly, to the best of our knowledge, we’ll be forced to remove Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics from our offer.” This all makes me think of Doom 3′s weird (reversible) vanishing act.

I decided to put the Fallout Tactics intro here because it’s the one that nobody remembers. There’s a reason for that.

I've not been on DU much and I'm not sure that is changing soon but... This is such big news I had to post it. I don't agree with the RPS guy at all and think all three of these games are the shit. If you have never played them, do yourself a favor and play them now.
