Most importantly, the original GoG versions included the Mark Morgan soundtrack music in MP3 format. Alas, these are only the Windows versions, and I have no realistic hope of seeing Mac versions again. I guess I'll have to hang on to my boxed copy of FO2.

More about Macs As a followup to 4too above, there are some other issues with running the Mac versions on recent OS X releases. Around the time of Leopard, or 10.5, ATI drivers for 256 colors were dropped from the OS install, so folks with ATI cards in their Macs could no longer play FO1 or...

After reading various speculations on the 'white screen/black screen' at boot problem on Fallout 2 with Snow Leopard, I decided to try the game on several different Mac platforms. All the Intel systems were running fully updated 10.6.2, the PPC is running 10.5.8, which is the last OS supported...

Testing the Mac patch tonight Just wandered back into the forums again after a while and saw there was a new patch for Mac to be tested. I'll put some time in on it the next few days and post here my experience, good or bad.

File is on the way. It is a packed version A, a single patch000.dat file which will be very easy to install and use. I certainly found it so. Installation instructions included. Credit goes to zimziki for creating the packed patch000.dat file.

After several days of testing and off-line communication with the enormously helpful Zimziki, I have been able to get the patch working. Zimziki took the time to combine the killap patch A files into a patch000.dat file which can be used in place of the patch000.dat file in the Fallout...

I have now tested several more variations of locations for the killap patch A files, and have learned this: No matter where I locate the patch A files in the Fallout application, when the game starts it immediately creates a set of proto folders (items and critters) in the Application...

Many thanks for the insight into the possible variations for the installs. I have indeed made a little progress, but am not sure yet if it is meaningful. Here's what's new: I opened the Fallout application package, then deleted the patch000.dat file. I installed all of killaps patch A files...

Thanks for the suggestion. Just tried it out: No change in behavior at all. I suspect that the game is not reading the map files correctly, since the viewscreen is black and I can run in any direction forever. I also have no spear as I should for the Temple, which means items are not...

I looked through the FAQ and forums but haven't found an answer to this yet, though I did see that someone was successfully using the Killap's Patch release Final B (US) on a Mac just recently (a couple of months ago). After reading the install instructions, I determined that I needed the B...
