There are some hi-res mods for both Fallout 1 & 2. Here's a link to one for Fallout.

You got to experiment a bit with what resolution works best for your screen. With my 23" 16:9 screen I got the best results when running the game @ 1280x720 in full-screen mode. Game looks very nice and the text is not too small.


BTW here's a direct link to the high-res patch:

I gave up on it. I tried the rez mod but no matter what I set my desktop rez at the top of the opening game screen was cut off so I could not see Options or whatever link to the game settings.

You leave your desktop resolution alone. You change the in-game res settings.

The readme was a little vague, but you get a new options screen and find the resolution setting from there.

I found the game crashed if I set it to 16bit, so it stayed at 8!
