Is Fallout (the original) compatible with Windows 7?

Posted this in the Fallout game forum and got a reply, but for some strange reason I can't read the reply there so I thought I'd give it a shot here. Anyone know if it'll work with Win 7?

Yes it should run fine for all I know.

Yeah, it should.

I believe it does. I recently picked up Fallout 2 from Steam and it works fine for Windows 7 64-bit. I do remember running into an issue initially though.

The game installed and ran fine with the exception of some "rainbow-like" graphical glitches, but I was able to find a fix after I googled the issue.

Steam is also selling the original Fallout, which I believe uses the same engine, at least it looks the same to me. Once I found the fix for that minor issue...

and picked up a high resolution patch, I can now run it at 1920 x 1200 perfectly.

Have the retail version with the 1.1 patch installed.

It should, altho you have to use the win 95 compatability mode, when you start it up, the colors should be a bit messed up, but alt+tab'bing out and in again should fix it.
