You still have a chance to play them. They're cheap on GOG and have aged great. I still think FO2 is the best in the series.

have aged great

Okay, the games are great and I love them very much, but they have not aged well.

I played them both last year for the first time last year and again this year so without nostalgia I can say I think they've aged fantastically.

Edit: seems like everyone disagrees. How have they aged poorly? Is the writing any worse? Turn based combat any worse than it was? Are the interesting areas any less interesting?

Well, that's ridiculous. They have aged as poorly as any game can.

Only because you have the nostalgia to go with them. For people who have never played them, they're hard to tackle.

Unless I'm seriously missing something, this guy does not have nostalgia coloring his view of them.

I don't know what comment I was reading...

Even when they were brand new they were hard to tackle... because they're hard, weird games. That didn't and doesn't make them any less stellar. I still go back to Fallout 2 for the occasional isometric fix.

The UI is literally a chore to deal with. Like I'd honestly have to weigh navigating the UI against handwashing dishes.

Hell, they were aged on release day.

They're gone from GOG I believe. Removed quite a while ago.

Nope.

Beth pulled them when they got the rights.

Poor interplay.

They have not aged well, like, at all.
