No Mutants Allowed is proud to present Black Isle Studio's Van Buren tech demo (Van Buren is BIS' cancelled Fallout 3 project), you can download it via our fileserver.

A few very basic notes:
1. Installation is basically unpacking the RAR file and clicking .exe. There is some waiting time the first time you load it.
2. Don't forget that this is a pre-alpha tech demo from 2003: the combat is pretty much unimplemented (sucky realtime only), the graphics are really basic. Also, most people will want to change the resolution, which can be done after the first time you run it. See instructions here
3. The file is a whopping 241 MB, but don't be disappointed that it doesn't offer a full night's worth of gameplay (though in true Fallout style, it offers a lot of different paths to victory).
4. Also in true Fallout style, the demo is very, very buggy. Expect frequent crashes.

Since this is probably the last time we will be posting on Van Buren, let me take this opportunity to send out a thank-you to the Van Buren staff and everyone who ever worked for Black Isle Studios. Gentlemen (and ladies); it was an honour and a privilege to watch you work and a pleasure to play your games. We salute you.

Note: to people reading this with their own hosting servers; we respectfully request you not to put up the demo on your server for at least a few days, for reasons of removability/liability. Thank you.

DL it now before Bethesda's shitty lawyers have it taken down.  I guarantee that whatever this offers is better than what shitty shitty Bethesda will provide.

You must have a magical working copy.

At Fry's some weeks back, I found a UK import budget release that had Fallou 1, 2 and Tactics all on one DVD.  10 bucks.  What a buy.  God bless Fry's.

26 minutes of waiting time. I do not stand for such faggotry, this file would normally take me 3 minutes to download. Shuri wants non-lame links

[etiolate]

I can wait 25 minutes for fallout 3

I'm downloading it.  I have the first two games but I never did spend much time with them.  They just take much more effort than the usual RPG.  It was funny to watch someone beat Fallout 2 in 10 mins on youtube though .

[brawndolicious]

this is just a tech demo of a canceled game?

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

I wonder if Black Isle could have finished the dang thing before the door closed on Interplay if they weren't wasting time on console games nobody wanted.

Does anybody remember if the Fallout community was at all receptive to this back in the day?
