All classic Fallout games available FREE for 48 hours!

Holiday season is upon us! If you are a long-time GOG.com user you know well enough--or if you're relatively new to our service, you're about to learn--that we just love offering great games for free whenever it's possible. This year for instance, we've given away innumerable copies of the action-rpg gem <i>Torchlight</i>. Today, we're taking our gifting habit a step further. No, actually make that two steps, as we're handing out a package of three games this time around. For the upcoming 48 hours you'll be able to add [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/fallout_series_giveaway_winter_promo_2013]Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics to your GOG.com collection, completely FREE of charge. That's $0.00 (or, if you prefer the currency of the nuclear wasteland, 0.00 bottle caps) for all the three classic games in the legendary post-apocalyptic RPG series, until Saturday, December 14, at 1:59PM GMT.

Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics for FREE on GOG.com video

Section updated: Don't forget about your gamer friends that may not know GOG.com yet! Sadly, for the sake of unburdening what servers we have, we had to turn off the option for gifting free games. But you can always just let them know they can sign up with GOG.com and claim a free gift of Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics. On top of that, when they register to our service, they'll receive all the 12 free games we add to all the newly-created accounts. That way your friends will start their adventure with GOG.com with a collection of 15 great games total already on their virtual shelves! Be kind, share the good news! :-)

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 , [url=http://www.gog.com/game/fallout_2]Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics from our offer. That doesn't mean, however, that you won't be able to download them if they are already a part of collection by then. Secure your copies today (or anytime before Saturday, December 14, at 1:59PM GMT)!

While you come to grab your free classic Fallout games, make sure to stay a while and browse through our 2013 DRM-Free Winter Sale selection of 600+ games discounted by 50% or more, special bundle deals up to 80% off, and daily personal deals, including the mysteriously mysterious mystery box! All that and more, now covered with our new 30-day Worldwide Money Back Guarantee, for online game-shopping safer than ever before!

We're currently experiencing server issues due to the highest traffic ever noted on GOG.com. We did anticipate much interest in our 2013 DRM-Free Winter Sale, as well as our Fallout 1,2, & Tactics giveaway, but the number of visits exceeded our highest expectations by far. And we mean FAR. For today, we've prepared double the number of servers that were needed to support our highest day in traffic to date, but it turned out to be not nearly sufficient. We're working on quadrupling our server supply, now.

We're terribly sorry for all the inconvenience you might encounter today, while visiting GOG.com store. If you're new to the site, rest assure that this is far from our day-to-day standards. We're working around the clock until all the problems are fixed, and everyone can enjoy everything we have to offer. If you've encountered any problems, please give it some time. Most issues will be resolved automatically, soon, as the first batch of extra servers is coming on-line right now. If you're affected by something more serious, please be assured that our support team will assist you and fix whatever needs fixing.

Again, we apologize for the user experience, that is not up to our usual standards.

VanishedOne: I was about to say you should grab them for yourself anyway, in case the disc versions stopped playing so nicely with future OS versions... then the horror struck me: no more Fallout on GOG means no more GOG-tested compatibility fixes for it. Back to the land of unofficial patches and forum folklore. :-/
Yup. Grabbed copies for myself too. Couldn't resist a no-CD version of them. ^_^

On a similar note, I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really hope the next Fallout game would be epic.

Only missed Fallout Tactics out of those three. Thanks for the sheer awesomeness involved in this move, GOG.
Can GOG please turn the gifting option for the free games back on please? Seems the servers have setlled down and the GOGbears arent appearing - been checking the site regularly last few hours
Thanks GOG!
so will I still be able to download the game if it is in my collection after December 14th? or do I need to get downloading ASAP!
Thank you GOG i remember loaning Fallout 2 at my local library years back and enjoying it so much was one of my fav games even though i could only keep it at home for around 20-30 days, the atmosphere in the game was unlike anything i had ever played i really felt i could feel the world of the game which not many games are able to do. I still have a old cdrom of the 1st game i bought a decaade back but never played it, with the gog versions i can finally start playing the entire series fully

Would be nice, but I fear that Fallout 3 is going to remain the best of the new Fallouts. It was just too fresh to be repeated, and it used up a lot of the good ideas that a sequel might otherwise have done. Fallout NV was a huge disappointment to me, not least for setting a post-apocalyptic game in a desert, a landscape that is virtually a wasteland even in normal conditions. Wandering the blasted streets of DC was part of what made F3 so gripping, and that sense of dislocation was lost in the follow-up. The decline in writing and plotting was similarly evident, and the music choices were pitiful compared to its predecessor as well. it looks like any following release will continue to be a victim of the success of the F3, and thus a wavering shadow.

Considering the cost of all the servers they added, I don't think GOG considers these games particularly "free" anymore. :)

I keep reading comments in different places that FONV is actually the better game? (havent finished either but FONV seems to feel meatier storywise)

Spinorial: Terribly sorry to hear this, GOG :(

The Fallouts have been with us since before there was "us", when it was just you, in beta, and a handful of intrepid adventuring souls, bent on old-school goodness and DRM-freeness. And them bottlecaps were a big thing. The biggest thing! There's a good reason Fallout remained a bestseller to the end, and by Jove! so they shall remain!

You will be missed, Fallout! You too, Interplay, for all your failings and occasional outright stupidity. And you, Zenimax... the writing's on the wall. Carmack left, you've screwed over both Human Head and Arkane, you've botched a good part of your catalogue, and you will inevitably do so with the rest.

May the curse of the fate of The Old Republic befall your Elder Scrolls Online! It was only yesterday that I was watching your newest trailer and pondering its mediocrity. May your finances suffer and your shareholders wail! May your heads roll and boards crumble! We will again see the day when Doom, and Morrowind, and Wolfenstein, and Fallout are free of DRM and, GOG willing, free of you! May all the names you've exploited, squeezed dry, and thrown overboard rise up in their rightful majesty, labours of love and dedication, and not a cent of the windfall reach your pockets! It shall be so.
That was pretty epic. Hear! Hear!

Maybe if you're coming at from the combat-centric games instead of the RPGs? I don't know, I prefer RPGs, and F3 had plenty of great story and interaction. FNV seemed a lot more perfunctory, and the whole "disguise yourself to infiltrate factions" didn't seem well implemented. The factions seemed a lot more separate as well, and the plot threads felt more like several fixed paths rather than one huge, well-integrated whole.

Once it is in your collection you are good to go and can download and redownload at your leisure.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH GOG!

It is greatly appreciated.
If the fallout games are removed from the GOG catalogue, will they remain available to download?
