I'm not sure about 3 and newvegas but fallout1 and 2 can run on a dosbox program right? I suppose you could go that route.

lol I guess the next question would be if dosbox works on GCOS. But I guess that is a good possible root too. Thanks for a quick reply. :D

While the 1st Fallout game was released on DOS too, AFAIK the GOG version of Fallout 1 is for Windows, not DOS. Fallout 2 was released only for Windows & Mac and FT:BoS for Windows only.

Chrome OS is based on the Linux, so you could try to play these games using Wine.

If you want to restore the DOS executable in Fallout, you can always install it as part of the Fallout Fixt mod pack. I'm not sure I would recommend it but Chrome/Chrome OS does seem to have a DOSBox app so you might be able to run that if you can't get Wine on Chrome OS. Then again, I've never tried it as I don't have a Chromebook so I wouldn't know if it would work.
