I'm forced to use a 1024x600 screen at the moment and I want to replay Fallout 1. Is there a way to get the game to work at such low resolutions?
Running Fallout 1 at low resolutions?

Fallout 1 runs natively at 640 x 480 or 800 x 600, I think. Do you use any mods? If you use the the High Res mod or Fixt or something that contains the High Res mod, you can just run the f1_res_config executable and set your resolution there.
Hassknecht is right Fo1 natively runs at 640x480. Mash's resolution mod for Fo1 (also included in Fixt mod) allows to set resolution to a more desired one. It's not a topic for general fallout discusion thread, it's better suited in Fallout Modding thread.

I agree with what @epeli said, except instead of setting the game to 2x scaler, set it to 960x540. That will keep the font from looking fucked up because its a perfect 1:4 pixel mapping onto 1920x1080. You won't split the rendering of the low resolution font and graphics onto anisotropic subpixels, which is what makes low resolution games scaled to high look both blurry and sharp at the same time.
To be clear, in draw.ini set graphics mode to 4 or 5 (5 and playing with borderless gaming is superior for multi monitor users IMO, mouse is still trapped in window until you alt-tab), the resolution to your desktop's native 1920x1080, and GPUBlt=1. That's it for ddraw.
In f2_res.ini, set graphics_mode=0 which passes along game window resolution control to ddraw. Put scale_2x=0, and set the screen resolution to 960 and 540 (600 for
bviously: 16:10 owners). For fullscreen colors, set it to 8, and all the other graphics options are the same. Windowed does not need to be set to 1 in the subsequent options if you're using dx9 windowed mode, ddraw will handle that.
edit: for reference, this is how those settings make the game look:
