I've played through Fallout 1 last year again and enjoyed every moment. If you're even slightly interested in classic RPGs, go get it!

Yes. Just the first one. I can only imagine what it would be for their servers if it was all the sequels as well.

It is a classic, and with the same bunch rallying to work on Wasteland 2, it is a good time to replay the old Fallouts, or experience them for the first time if you missed out back in the day.
It was 1990, give or take, I don't remember
When the news of revolution hit the air
The girls hadn't even started taking down our posters
When the boys started cutting off their hair
The radio stations all decided angst was finally old enough
It ought to have a proper home

Ok did it now I need some advice please. The game is in a very small window and I could find no options menu to change rez. I also could find no config to edit the rez. Any ideas?

Probably can't as it's a 1997 game.

There are some hi-res mods for both Fallout 1 & 2. Here's a link to one for Fallout. http://falloutmods.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout1_Resolution_Patch

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: http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/dload.php?action=file&file_id=1273

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.
