1.1 Update - http://www.macgamefiles.com/detail.php?item=11752
Fallout 2 Survival Kit - http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Games/Fallout-2-Survival-Kit.shtml
The download also includes the updater and the survival kit.
To use the Survival Kit with this game, go to the Apple Menu and click on Preferences (or press Command-P). Check Fallout 1. Check Select Folder. Press Choose. Navigate to the SAVEGAME folder inside the data folder of your Fallout installation. Press Select. Press Save. You might get an error and the application will shut down. Try again. As for the Creation Kit, I don't know how to make it work.

Note: If attempting to un-stuff the archive (max1zzz's link above), on a Mac running Mac OS 9.2.2 or earlier, it will likely fail to extract fully unless you use Stuffit Expander 7.0.3 (or Deluxe 7.0.3).
Earlier than 7.0.3 versions of Stuffit Expander cannot extract the enclosed main .toast file correctly.
So for this archive, either extract on OS X first, or use Stuffit Expander 7.0.3 on a classic Mac OS. It can also be extracted OK on other platforms using the command line tool, unar.
Comments
Good idea, mrdav. I just tried using "The Unarchiver" commandline tool "unar.exe" on Windows and it too extracted the file "Fallout_1_0.toast", 100% OK (all md5 sums match with those in the enclosed md5 doc). It mounts and the installer seems to run OK too.
So it looks like this archive has a problem extracting on a classic Mac OS & Stuffit Expander 5.5 - don't know what version of Stuffit, IpOdHaKeR was using. I might install the final classic version of Stuffit (7.x) onto 9.x and see if that helps.
Anyway, yes, no need to replace whats on Maxzz's, just a heads-up required.
[Edit] Installed Stuffit Std Ed 7.0.3 on a beige G3 running on 9.1 -- Just to confirm, the file "Fallout_1_0.toast" expands correctly using this version of Stuffit Expander and the md5 checksum matches 100%.
I suspect this archive was created with Stuffit 7.x or newer, and likely set to "better compression" which pretty much negates an archive extracting properly if using an earlier version of Stuffit.
So, if you want to extract this archive OK on a classic Mac OS, you need to run a Stuffit version 7.0.3 to do it.
@MikeTomTom: Well, I have found that the sit file unpacks OK in OS X. There is nothing in the archive that will be damaged by OS X to prevent the function of the toast files, pdfs or txt files. I can only assume that that I did this to get my working copy. Can you please test the installer after this process? I suspect that I don't need to re-upload anything, and that all we need is to instruct DLers
MikeTomTom, I am only guessing from the layout (MD5, doc folder etc) that it was MCPs as I can't actually remember. But it probably is, as I would have downloaded it about the time MCP refreshed the external link in 2012.
Thanks, mrdav. It was MCP's .sit originally? He was noted for using MacZip to archive & including an MD5 checksum list in the archive (the checksum list, I appreciated). Anyway, if you can upload it again that would be great. At your leisure, sir!
Ages ago I was about to up to this page an HFS iso of Fallout 1.1 that I'd created from scavenging from the OS X version + the 1.1 updater (& suitable for SSW 7.5 - 9.x), when you re-upped MCP's archive. So I left it in preference to the original install set.
Thank you for you're replies and thanks I would really like to play this game again.
->The enclosed installer program "Install Fallout" appears to be corrupted, it won't install.<-
That is odd, MikeTomTom, because my copy is fine. I think I uploaded the original compressed archive that MCP first put up here, and my copy of the contents installs fine.
I will re-compress and upload again from my working copy, so you can try that out. Give me a day or so. ...Or maybe my upload went bad in the first instance, so I might just try reuploading the sit file
@IpOdHaKeR: I DL'd the file "Fallout_1_.sit" from the link above, archived at Maxzz's and moved it to my beige G3 to test, extracting it with Stuffit Expander 5.5, Mac OS 9.1
For me, it expands almost to the very end, then Stuffit throws up a "The integrity of the Data Fork of "Fallout_1_0.toast" could not be verified. Use this file with caution" error message.
Inside the expanded archive, it appears to be intact. There is a handy checksum.md5 file in the expanded archive.
I checksummed the .toast files, "Fallout2SurvivalKit.toast" & "FalloutUpdater.toast". These both match the enclosed MD5 checksums.
The .toast file "Fallout_1_0.toast" however, does not match the enclosed checksum. So it appears Stuffit got it right.
File "checksum.md5":
a7432cc138e2b4f0b0feccb31492bf97 *Fallout_1_0.toast
Extracted archive MD5 ckecksum test:
6f7119af1f736ca4045af24ef00994ac *Fallout_1_0.toast
The .toast file itself mounts OK using the Virtual CD/DVD Utility from here. The enclosed installer program "Install Fallout" appears to be corrupted, it won't install. I would think that the other enclosed files are also corrupted, so (until a suitable replacement is uploaded), my testing of this archive has come to an end.
A workaround which does work, is to DL the OS X version from here and install the 1.1 updater that's enclosed in the file you DL'd from above. See this forum post here, for details.
This downloads fine, but when I try to install on Mac OS 9.2.2 on beige G3 Power Macintosh it tells me it has a bad resource fork or something like that. How do I fix this issue?
External download link leads to an empty folder.
The link isnt working??
Me, the external d/ link is not found.
works perfect on my imac g3 with os 9.2.2
