I just picked up the Fallout Collection (1, 2 and Tactics) for $20 yesterday.

I've loaded Fallout 1 onto the computer and the intro cut-scenes play fine, but when it gets to gameplay and/or menu screens it goes s***ty monochrome/farked up colours and I'm unable to play.

Does anybody have any suggestions? I assume some people here play older games.

The box says Windows XP, DX7 are fine. I tried running it in compatibility mode, 640 res and 256 colours but it did the same thing :(

i take it you are using windows xp?
i had the same problem in vista, changing to 16bit seemed to fix it.

Nop it's still sucking :(

Also Fallout 2 won't even install :(

Bloody hell.

I had similiar things happen when playing Starcraft on Vista, the menu and cut-scenes would be all technicolour wierdness. No idea what the fix is though.

seems stupid but also try alt+tabbing in and out of the game *yes this worked for me sometimes*

as for not installing tough nutz i guess.

How to install Fallout/Fallout 2 under Win2000/NT/XP

Trying now Tael.

Also, it some video cards simply can't do 256 colour mode properly anymore, which is f***ing with a few people who wanna play a bit of StarCraft again.
