Today, we bid farewell to the legendary post-apocalyptic 2D classics.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we needed to pull the three classic Fallout games, that is Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics, from sale and remove them from our DRM-free catalog. These classic titles have been with us since day one, that is for over 5 years now, and they were always one of the highlights of the selection of games that we offer. There are very few titles in the history of computer role-playing games, that have had so much impact on the gaming landscape, players' expectations, and even the popular culture. The iconic setting, the memorable quotes, and unparalleled amount of fun and challenge these games provide--it's all burned in the memory of a whole generation of gamers. Probably even more than just one generation. It was an honor to have you here, Fallout. Take good care of yourself out there, try not to mistake a gecko for G.E.C.K. (not even remotely the same thing!), and remember to take your Rad-X pills!

All those who acquired Fallout, Fallout 2, or Fallout Tactics on GOG.com prior to the date of removal (that is before Tuesday, December 31st 2013, at 3:59PM GMT), will still be able to download the games' install files (as well as the bonus content) via the "My Games" section of their user accounts. Gift-codes for these three games acquired in our recent giveaway are no longer valid. However, if you own a gift-code for any or all of them that was purchased outside of the said giveaway, you'll still be able to redeem it in the foreseeable future.

We sincerely apologize for all the inconvenience this situation may have caused you. We invite you to browse through 671 other fantastic titles offered in our DRM-free catalog of the best games in history, and we wish you a Happy New Year of gaming!

there may not be a digital version available (for the moment) but the trilogy disc sets are out there & they could use a good home too

I just checked Amazon and they're available for slightly less than the GOG versions were sold for even, minus shipping anyway.

yeah, I did notice that as well, just a few days ago though one was available & it was going for a pretty high price, higher than this one
It's sad to see these games gone from GOG.com. I mean, these are true classics. They don't seem to belong anywhere but here.
They are already back on Steam (A little more expensive than before), but I'm not sure if we'll ever see them back here.

Are you from the future? They aren't available on Steam as of yet. :)

Niggles: Its been about a month and a half? (i guess) since game is unavailable for purchase. I know Bethesda is huge, but a game series like this would still be making sales somewhere all the time - im wondering if there is more to the Interplay/Bethesda thing?
I've heard Bethesda is not interested in DRM-free releases or something but I don't know where this was stated and I don't know how true it is.

They did tweet this though so maybe they are? https://twitter.com/Bethblog/status/418908439742386177

They destroy and ruin gaming community with this so-called DRM stuff. Good old days before DRM.

Wtf did I just read?
Wasn't Fallout 1+2 always DRM-free?
My German and English copies from those never showed any sign of DRM, not even oldschool ones and now they want to add it later on?

I hate Bethesda...

Fallout 1, 2, and Tactics were DRM-free, yes. Before Bethesda got their hands on them.

Guys stop buying Bethesda licenced games, and you're doing the world a big favor.
This makes me mad on so many levels, I sure wont be buying anything from Bethesda from now on till the fix this crap properly and I hope they are smart enough to not even think about removing Interplay's logo.

Im just in a phase where its so hard to find a game that really entertains me and then I start Fallout and WHAM, this thing is amazing just to come back for reviews on the other 2 games (that luckily I already own) and hey guess what!? greedy people don't want you to play it!.

GJ promoting the dark ages of videogaming Bethesda, get a grip on how the world is growing up.
As far as i can see FO1,FO2,Fallout Tactics still have their game cards up on Steam but still not available for purchase...
Every time I see this thread bumped I feel a disappointed that Bethesda is stubborn enough to not want to work with GOG when the games already here and ready to go back up for sale. It makes me appreciate GOG and Interplay even more for working together to get the games into as many people's hands as possible before they went dark.

Yes I'd love to be proven wrong with an announcement they are back and Fallout 3 has joined them on GOG, but it seems that is a long way off, if ever at this point.
I'd be willing to bet Bethesda wouldn't allow Fallout to return to GOG and that even less likely is that they'd let GOG have Fallout 3 or newer. Although, just saying, if they DRM freed New Vegas on here I'd buy it instantly.
