So im thinking of picking up Fallout Collection as its cheap now, will it work with Windows 7 64bit? I asked the guy in the shop of a very well known store and he didnt know.

Running fallout 2 & 3 on win7, unsure about tactics. However, for fallout 2 I'm using Sfall mainly since it uses d3d9 in place of the usual ddraw...without this, the colour pallete is rather funky for the menus.

Good Old Games, GOG sell FO1 and FO2 for 3 or 4 pounds.

With the above mod the game appears to work fine in win7 64. Thanks, saved me a bit of 'when i could be arsed' hassle (new partition, slipstreaming drivers, installing OS).

I ran the game fine on Win7 x64

Dont be surprised by the odd crash though, the game still has a few bugs, mostly patched out now though

1 & 2 working great in W7 x64 here, with the unofficial patches and killap's 'Restoration Project' for Fallout 2, all of which you can get over at NMA (NoMutantsAllowed).

Of course, never save during combat as it'll corrupt your save file, and with those patches you should experience minimal crashes/bugs.
