- Fallout Classic Collection includes Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel.
- The Linux version of Fallout 1 is actually the DOS version which uses DOSBox in order to play it. It was exclusive to Desura store and it is no longer available. The same is also true for the digital release of the Mac version, though the retail version was a true native port.
Version differences
- Retail versions differ in the available violence levels: the North American version has all 4 violence levels, the regular European version has 3 and the German one has 2.
- Furthermore, both the regular European and German versions remove child NPCs, rendering at least one side quest impossible.
- Digital releases are based on the European versions.
Demo
- A demo is available.

Essential improvements
Patches
- Patch v1.1 updates the game to the latest version.
High Resolution Patch
A utility/patch that modifies the game in memory to add support for windowed mode, higher resolutions, and various other enhancements.
- Can also be downloaded as part of the Fallout Fixt mod compilation.
- Included with the GOG.com, Steam, and Epic Games Store releases.
Further details can be found in the official thread.
Fallout Fixt
A mod that patched the game to enhance, expand and improve upon the Fallout 1 experience.
- Patch compilation which contains several essential patches and bug fixes, allows for high and widescreen resolutions, and contains optional fan content.
- Appears to be outdated compared to more recent mods such as Fallout et tu, and has gone unmaintained for years, not receiving updates since 2016.
- Introduces gameplay changes, as opposed to just fixes, that change the vanilla experience - even when selecting the "Purist" option at installation.[citation needed]
- Contains well documented bugs that can make progress impossible, and have yet to be fixed. [1]
Updating to the latest version of Crafty's Sfall is recommended as the included version is out of date. The latest version includes new bugfixes and optional features, set the following in the new ddraw.ini for compatibility:
