Maybe more people want these games then you think.
It's three games! But it's Fallout. Because it's /always/ Fallout.
And it's nice to see the originals being given away; they're fine
games, if quite long in the tooth (honestly, I can't imagine any but
the most die-hard fans playing these, although I'm sure a lot of
people will claim the trilogy just because they enjoyed the Bethesda
games)

Maybe more people want these games then you think. I had to come back
to claim them as I kept getting 'we are experiencing high traffic,
please try again later' or something to that affect when I tried
grabbing them.
It's Thursday! That means we're getting a much-anticipated new game
from Epic. It's going to be 'nuclear themed' (there are hints in the 'wrapping paper' of the next 'mystery game' as to what's inside, and
today's 'wrapping paper' had mushroom clouds), so guesses were that
maybe it was Fallout game? Duke Nukem? Red Alert? Defcon 5? Well, now
we know:
Today's game is:
* Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role-Playing Game https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/fallout
* Fallout 2
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/fallout-2*
Fallout Tactics https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/fallout-tactics-brotherhood-of-steel

games). Still, I was hoping for some originality from Epic, but no,
they choose the safe route. Oh well. I'll add it to the library, where
they can sit next to my CD-ROM, GOG and Steam versions. Hey, I wonder
if I can get them on Amazon Prime too?
24 hours until the next one... something to do with bodybuilding?

that's neat, never had/played TacticsI still haven't played any Fallout games. I wonder if I will enjoy them.
If you do play them you'll want the fixes before playing. I don't know if any are applied to these or not. Fallout 1 has a problem where the
random encounters are tied to your computer clock speed.... with a
modern computer that's really bad, either resulting in no encounters
or being only able to move a pixel or so before getting an encounter.
I don't remember which, but there was some fix that changed it to
the other one, and a later fix that actually fixed it to be what it should be.
Fallout 2 just has a multitude of bugs even with official patches.
I haven't played Tactics on a modern computer so can't say
there. Of those this is the only one that can be played real-time
if you want, IIRC it was one of the few 'real time with pause' games
that actually worked well.
