^I was able to get Fallout and Fallout 2 to work on my laptop running Windows 7, but I forget how I managed it. There was a re-release of F1/F2/FTactics as a package deal a few months after Fallout 3 came out so those ones must have been re-worked for modern windows OS's.
EDIT: Boom.

It's totally worth it.
