Recently I have been playing fallout 1 and noticed that sometimes getting it working on older hardware is a pain. This is the windows version of the game and it seams to be very picky about which types of systems it likes working on and which video settings it seams to want. Below is what I have experienced and would love to know if anyone else has had similar problems with the game?

Windows 95 - Game will launch but then crash to the desktop, does not seam to matter which video settings I have or drivers... Only tried in emulation tho via Pcem
Windows 98 - Very picky on video settings. Game wants to be launched with video settings set to 800x600 256bit color. Everything else it will complain and fail to launch.
Windows ME- Funny enough works the best.... Game launches without issues regardless of video settings. - Only tested using pcem.

For most of these tests the only video cards I tried were a voodoo3 2000 and a mach64.

Pcem isn't old hardware.
If you are only testing on pcem then best to ask on the pcem forum, we don't develop pcem here.
If you are testing on a real system then specify.
Fallout 1 isn't picky at all.
