I’m not going to say that there isn’t value there, but going from memory, I’m pretty sure that the engine has been open-source reimplemented.

Looks like there are a couple projects, but these seem to be actively-maintained and can run using the existing commercially-available game resources:

github.com/alexbatalov/fallout1-ce

Fallout Community Edition is a fully working re-implementation of Fallout, with the same original gameplay, engine bugfixes, and some quality of life improvements, that works (mostly) hassle-free on multiple platforms.

There is also Fallout 2 Community Edition.

Installation

You must own the game to play. Purchase your copy on GOG or Steam. Download latest release or build from source.

github.com/alexbatalov/fallout2-ce

github.com/nadult/FreeFT

FreeFT is an open-source, real-time, isometric action game engine inspired by Fallout Tactics, a game from 2001 created by an Australian company, Micro Forte.

Running

To run this program, resources from original Fallout Tactics are required. You can buy it on GOG or Steam.
