Fallout 2 is a computer role-playing game published by Interplay in 1998. The second game takes place in 2241, 80 years after the first Fallout. It tells the story of the original hero's descendant and his or her quest to save their primitive tribe from starvation by finding an ancient environmental restoration machine known as the "Garden of Eden Creation Kit", or GECK. Although featuring an almost completely new game world, stories, and adventures that are several times larger than its predecessor, the game mechanics from Fallout remain mostly unchanged, with the majority of changes to fix interface issues.

Code:

& SCR_HEIGHT. 
# if AUTO_SCRN_SIZE = 1 - Screen Width and Height are set to current 
 
desktop resolution. 
AUTO_SCRN_SIZE = 0 

#Set the screen resolution here 
SCR_WIDTH = xxxx 
SCR_HEIGHT = yyy
Where xxxx is desired width, yyy - desired height.
