The Gametap downloadable game service may be going through a bit of a transition but for now the company is still offering some cool games. Today Gametap has a special treat for people who may be anticipating Fallout 3 but never played the first two games in the post-apocalypse RPG series. Today the original Fallout title is available to play for free.

Released in 1997 by Fallout's original developer/publisher Interplay, the game has got a VERY devoted fan base even to its day so Gametap's free offer could generate even more attention to the game. Gametap has also added the sequel, Fallout 2, to its Premimum subscription service. As we reported earlier this week, Interplay is preparing a Fallout MMO project (under license from the franchise's new owners Bethesda Softworks) and two of Fallout's original designers, Chris Taylor and Jason Anderson, have rejoined Interplay to work on the project.
