I own the original disk & box...
But anything that gets more people to play it is good

Nice! Finally going to sit down and play it

Actually, now that I've looked a bit more, there's a TON of free crap on Gametap
Physchonauts, Hitman 1 and 2, Tomb Raider Legend, Thief, and some random crappy ones.

a bunch of the old beatemups are free as well, and bubble bobble is a must, and captain commando and elevator action.

Only problem is that you can't mod gametap games, and the unofficial patches and restorations of the Fallout games are pretty good.

Honestly I would rather torrent, to avoid the whole Game-tap thing.
It's what I did when they started giving away Farcry for free but with ads, I just used that as an excuse to torrent it. Honestly, I'm usually not for piracy at all unless it's an old game or a game belonging to a company that no longer exists, or they start giving it away for free somewhere else legally.

Gametap has a lot of stuff that's nice, and it's often more convenient then trying to torrent some of the stuff on there. The main problem I have is they don't support shit. Their setup doesn't support my PS2 controller adapter and their explanation was "we don't know why and we don't care". And I was trying to play Tomb Raider Legend off it for free, but then it would just constantly crash after the third level, and there is NO WAY to fix a game that's bugged over their service.
If they ever got major suppport from another developer (it's largely SNK/Sega/Eidos/Codemasters right now) I would have actually considered paying for the thing too.

Black Isle studios does not though, and they were the ones who actually developed fallout. Interplay was just the publisher a long while back. And interplay is so off-the-radar these days that it might as well not exist, they are just waiting to be consolodated into a larger company at this point before they go bankrupt. When was the last time you played a game from Interplay?

Ya really, it's hard not to act like a whore for this site when they are offering really good games for super cheap. And they got no DRM either. I really want them to stay in business and hopefully get some other games I wouldn't mind playing again like MechWarrior.
