I signed up on GOG a long while back, and was happy to see that I can now download FO 1+ 2 on there, and even get one for free! FO Tactics is on there too, isn't as good I hear. Fallout 1 via gog.com is now OSX Capable - it seems to work quite well inside the emulated enviornment gog have created for it. Fallout 2 is supposed to be coming soon, but as the environment in gog's current games seems to be a DOS one (shown by some Dos4GW statements at the start), and F2 was Win Only (IIRC), I'm not sure how far this is off. So According to the games Wikipedia page, Fallout 1 and 2 were both released on mac. I currently don't own a PC of any sort and have been playing a lot of Iso RPG's on my mac. I recently bought Icewindale 2 complete and Torment from GOG and I enjoyed both of those games a lot.
So you want to play the classic Fallouts and have a good time? Maybe you got them from GOG.com earlier and attempted to fire them up only to be greeted with a nasty and disparaging error:
