I want to play this. Fucking Gametap doesn't like Mexico. ;_;

That reminds me that I've yet to play Fallout, even though I do have the Mac port at home.

Yeah, I started playing through the Fallout series last week (started with part 1 on Gametap). I don't know how I went this long without giving this game a try:)

I think that gog.com will have it when it opens up in a week or so. Their games are optimized for working in windows, are DRM free & cost about $5 each (I sound too much like an advertisement):)

Yeah I got a beta invite; it is there. $5.99. I think there is a BOGO offer as well now. Also I saw Fallout Tactics there...

I GOT a GOG.com invite, actually. I'm in! I got in there to get the release dates for Mobygames. >_>

As for the BOGO offer, well, it expired two days BEFORE I got my invite. :(

I like the site, but hate the fact that games that used CD Audio don't have it available in-game....
