Anyone know where I can get a copy of Fallout for Mac?!

All I can find are robber barons charging upwards $90 for a copy! Do the sites where you just download the game have Mac versions? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

My reccomendation would be to get a PC. You seem to have experience playing Fallout 3, isn't a PC a requirement for that?

I would recommend using Boot Camp to play Fallout 3 on your Mac. Works great! But a native OSX-version of Fallout (which version are you talking about anyway?) would be appreciated.

All you gotta do is slip in, slip out, all smooth-like. Do it right, outta sight, it's yours for free-niney-nine.

No, I just want Fallout 1. I used to have a PC back in the day when I gamed more often, but now I just have a Macbook, which is perfectly fine for everything else I do with a computer (recording, writing, internet), so buying an expensive new computer just to play a very old video game that has already been ported to OSX before seems a little ridiculous. (It used to be on Macgames for sale.) Though I don't want to pay a hundred dollars either, since you can get a PC bundle of all three Interplay titles for like $10. And I don't think my laptop's skinny memory has enough room for running a second OS in conjunction with Bootcamp. (Which, I'm assuming buying 2000/XP and that program would be running me a couple hundred at the very least.) Either option strikes me as out of the question at this point.

And I played Fallout 3 on a borrowed Xbox.

There's got to be a program you can download which enables you to play an old PC game on a Mac. Just google search for one.

I appreciate the help, but this still requires windows, which means $$$

Install Linux and run Fallout under that.

Try a little program called Virtual PC, it comes with windows. I ran fallout2 on mac with that program since they never ported FO2 to mac. IIRC fallout only requires windows 95, which to my knowledge costs abundantly less than the newer versions.

I thought Fallout (the original) could also run under DOS.
