Well , Hello to everyone !

Can somebody give me a hint - this versions has any differences frome the old-ones ?
Except the Bethesda title , of course .

I got all the Fallout games in the earlier free giveaway. I launched GOG Galaxy, and it automatically updated my installed Fallout 1 Classic. Now, at first glance, it looks like they stripped out the older extras, for in the game menu under "More," all you see is:
Fallout Classic
Hi-Res Config
Manual
Reference Card
Support

Yikes! Where did everything else go?

However, if you choose "Get Backup & Extras" on the "More" menu, you see the older, complete list of extras:

Manual (124 pages)
HD Wallpaper
Fallout Series Wallpaper
Fallout Bible (205 pages)
Reference Card
Soundtrack
Avatars
Vault Boy Avatars
Artworks

Thus, those of us who got the game from the earlier release on Gog, or the free giveaway, retain the longer list of extras, just as the screenshots above divulge. So I think we got the best of both worlds.

oh well repurchased more of a say thanks to bethesda for giving us the games back least i have the original ones with all the extra goodies as well.

When the Bethesda page showed up with all these games I had to pull up my library, just to be sure, when it said "games you do not own" on the Fallout titles.

Me too, I will try Fallout 1 when on sale individually and if I like it I will get 2 and tactics.

Yeah, did GOG ever figure out what is causing this bug with the Fallout series? I wouldn't think the "new" Bethesda Fallout series is any different than the previous Fallout.

Interesting thing is that my older older purchases of Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics are listed in my library as Fallout X Classic., while current re-release is simply listed as Fallout X (X can mean 1, 2 or Tactics). Also in shop those games are listed as not purchased even though I have them in my library.

What can you say about that, dear GOG?

So... We do have the same version that is available for purchase now!? That's good news.

Interesting! This is to GOG and Bethesda.

The old day elite decaf...

I am big fan of Fallout 1-2, but I never had a chance to purchase *the* (drm-free, 1:1 as it was in DOS era) license, when I played it. Why? At that time, in my country 1991-5 they basically were not offered; and I currently won't have even the time to replay them, even if purchased.

I do have F:NV:U and F3:GOTY licenses however (Steam).

What holds me off from purchasing them are three things (based on importance):
1. I don't want to risk license purchased, and then removed from my library.
2. The amount of extras are not worth it. If you offer Fallout, please offer at least the same amount of digitized extras as original boxed version.
3. With 1+2 in account, for 2,99, this is not worth it... Why not the classic discount scheme with 60% of for two titles, and 80% of for three?

Eh,... this offer is sweet and sad. Still unsure, if I should grab it. Come on, guys, you have 6 days to at least add the extras and give a promise of not retracting anything :D

Thing is,.. if you purchased them earlier, the only thing which would play role, is that they stay in your library as-is.

New buyers don't get any extras, so I hardly understand how is this "best of both worlds". Ain't GOG interested in sells anymore?

Err, I don't know. GOG Galaxy says that Fallout Classic is version 1.2. The splash screen of the actual game when launched says version 1.1 in the lower right-hand corner.

BTW, the extras from the older edition of Fallout 1 were downloaded by GOG Galaxy into the !Downloads/Fallout folder. But when I now redownload any extras, they appear in a new folder: !Downloads/fallout_classic.
yogsloth, So you're telling me that if you choose "Get Backup & Extras" on the "More" menu in GOG Galaxy, you don't see the older, more complete list of extras?

The only way they could've made me doube dip on these is by offering the complete, uncut versions (which the earlier gog versions weren't).

Since that isn't the case (plus the issue of missing extras and some rumors I heard that Bethesda redacted some of the original credits), I'll gladly give this a pass.

As some already pointed out the versions of the Fallout Classic and Fallout are the same. The only difference is that the Fallout Classic purchasers get the extras. (though I'm not sure if Fallout Classic buyers have access to the unpatched version if they use the download page rather than GOG Galaxy which I used to check which version I have.) In any case this is a great day for GOG fans, I never thought these classics would be back.

I think I see the confusion.

- The title of the release thread refers to the original Fallout trilogy as "classics" as in older games - compared to newer Fallout games.

- For those who have any of the Fallout titles from the before, that's been re-named to "Fallout Classic" (et al) in the library. Keeping it as a separate title makes it easier to handle the extras that were included initially. (see real.geizterfahr's images of the goodies here

- The re-release of Fallout has multi-language support, and is supposed to be the latest patched version of the game. Note that the included goodies are minimal.

The title of the Release Thread adds to that confusion, but it's just "classic" in a different context.
