You travel around on a top-down map with random enemy encounters possible and utilize a point-and-click interface. In the aftermath of World War III, you are the leader of a band of rangers traveling the Wasteland. It was later followed by Wasteland 2 in 2014, with a few failed sequels in between.Ĭlearly, this is a precursor to Interplay’s series Fallout, one of my favorites. But DOSBox is still actively maintained, designed to just run these old beauties.Wasteland is a post-apocalyptic RPG developed by Interplay and published by Electronic Arts in 1988 for the Apple II, DOS, and Commodore 64. Even though Fallout2 is Win only and works flawlessly with Wine, using DOSBox is simpler, especially when mounting images is required.#2 - As much as strange it may seem first, the DOS version (of whatever game) is actually more up to date, as far as ability to run it on new hardware/OS is concerned.Windows (d)evolves.nix too, so does Wine and from time to time, compatibility breaks.

It's an old thread, I know, sorry in advance.I prefer the DOS version, for two reasons.#1 - I've been running Linux only for about 4 years now. IIRC there was only one unofficial patch release that worked for the DOS ver.

The DOS version of Fallout comes on the same CD as the Windows version of Fallout.With that said it's not recommended to play the DOS version in DOSBox because it will be very slow (depending on the speed of your computer) Also you will not be able to apply any of the patches that have come out for the game since it's release. And even if there was I don't know why you'd want to play it anyway since the Windows version is just fine.

Thelovebat: I'm pretty sure there was no DOS version of Fallout that was ever released.
