How to identify which version the Fallout CD is?

[Xpressions]

Hi folks,
after years I wanted to have another go at Fallout 1. Bad luck, as my old self imported US-Version got scratched so bad, it won't even recognize the CD. So I looked around ebay and found one guy in the UK selling the game. Problem is, how can I tell if it's the UK or the US version? He doesn't know... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards, Dave

The box art is a good determinant:

Fallout 2 UK Version


Fallout 2 US Version

Also, the UK version isn't very different, just make sure you download the children patch.

I am really glad that I own the UK version.The box is way much more cool

Much preferry UK version too.
Shame about having to download patches.
Especially since my computer hates me and won't complete the download.

Thanks for the input so far! If you look at the link you'd think it's US right?

Really? I prefer the Yankeee version, but just to have as another Fallout keepsake, I like the UK version.

It would appear to be the US version.

Thanks for all the help. I just bought the set.

I'd say US as well.
Enjoy!

Let us know if you see the pestering children in Klamath Falls, X.

Yeah, that's the US version (I have it sitting on my desk in front of me).

Nice find, Grotesque.
Reminds me of just how much Dutch translations tend to suck.

'Though the marketing there is also interesting, it's all about choices, consequences and gore.

Cool stuff Grotesque. I love looking at cover art across regions....must appeal to the graphic designer in me or something.

Yeah, boxart is an obvious indicator as it will say Mature on it or whatever
