If I recall correctly FALLOUT has both ms-dos protected mode & Win95 executables. Just use the Win95 one setting W95 compatibility mode ON first. It should work properly. Also, you should patch the game to version 1.2d (U.S) or 1.1e (UK) (If I am not mistaken).

Intel i7 5960X
Gigabye GA-X99-Gaming 5

8 GB GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (Gigabyte)

Fallout 1 will run in XP - my roommate played through the entire game that way last summer.

As eL said, make sure to install the latest patch as the game has many bugs.

The game does have some pallete issues. tho. I also experienced the effect he describes once or twice untl I beat the game. This was like 32 weeks ago. Never found a fix for the pallete issue but I didn't bother looking around on the 'net and it didn't bother me that much.
