I did not remember that many cave rats.

I didn't snag the GoG version, but I recently played though my original copy (in DOSbox, good luck getting that damn thing working in Windows) and I thought the same thing about the beginning. It is still a great game, but some nostalgia was ruined. 'It is door trim' or something like that was the other big ಠ_ಠ for me. I was just thinking 'Who thought to put this in? Did anyone ever want to see this?'. Seemed pretty obvious anyone who ever got that was trying to click on the door itself.

Odd. You have problems with the windows version of Fallout? I've installed it on 5 different rigs of mine, from Windows 95 to Windows vista ultimate x64 and have never had a problem.

Matter of fact, when it came out it was the first game that made me stop whining about how games didn't have DOS install options. After Diablo 1 ran so well in Win95, I installed the WIN95 executable of Fallout, saw it ran excellently, and never went back to DOS again.

Well, until DOSbox.

I remember buying this game back in the day because a couple guys on irc kept raving about it but when I installed it I was like what the hell is this... the turn based combat turned me off completely as I wasn't into RPGs back then. So is Sfall is a "must have" mod or what? Is the 13 year time limit really that annoying?

That's awesome. If you don't already have it, or haven't played it, hand over your PC gamer card, and go play it now.

You can have it back when you're finished.

Have you installed this version of sfall over the GOG version of fallout1?

EDIT: I just tried. The base game from GOG works fine w/ no color distortion. If you add this version of sfall for Fallout1 then you get color distortion and who knows what else (in Win7).

EDIT2: I modified the ddraw.ini file and made the following changes:
o- Mode=4
o- GraphicsWidth=1600
o- GraphicsHeight=900
o- GlobalShaderMode=3

And now videos look correct and I can adjust the game speed.

No I have not, my bad. Glad you found the right ini changes to do. Are those the working changes when using GoG vanillia or after adding sfall?

I don't know if the GoG version includes SFALL, but I reccomend that at the very minimum in terms of playing fallout 1. Here's a GoG forum post with links:
http://www.gog.com/en/forum/Fallout_Series/fallout_2_mods/post119

sfall is basically a program that intercepts some of the calls (mostly the direct3d stuff to translate to direct x).
Features:

* Increase movement and combat speed to up to 10x normal.
* Play fallout in a window or in 16 bit colour mode
* Use d3d9 in place of the usual ddraw
* Use the mouse scroll wheel in the inventory, barter, conversation and save/load menus.
* Assign a use to the middle mouse button, and adjust mouse sensitivity beyond fallouts normal range
* Adjust or remove the 13 year time limit
* Fixes the broken pathfinder and sharpshooter perks
* Adds some additional script functions for modders to use

Thats the one that can remove the time limit, I think it fixes the graphical glitches under vista/7, and its also the one where you can scale the viewing window up and apply filters to it so it doesn't look too bad when you do.

I remember my brother playing the demo from a PC Gamer...I was just a kid, so I was goggling at the outrageous deaths in combat. I loved that game, but hated the time limit.
