FortranDragon Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 The rights to the Nolf series is tied up between at least two different companies. http://kotaku.com/the-sad-story-behind-a-dead-pc-game-that-cant-come-back-1688358811 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FortranDragon Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I know. This is one game series that needs to be available again on Gog / Steam / etc. Since System Shock made there is still a possibility that Nolf might make it some time in the future.

extratman Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I am also very disappointed. However, I built a Windows XP machine from old part to play the game. It works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steam is no good Idea, steam will destroy the game. I dont Like Games over 2005. This post could've come from me! Agree, 1999-2005 was the prime gaming period imo. You could walk into a store and spend forever just browsing and looking at all those big beautiful game boxes. It was a perfect time for PC gaming with so many fantastic games. The period also introduced steady game development. Year after year games just got better and better. You looked forward to every 12 months because your fav game was going to get a new version and expectations were high the new version would be a decent leap over the last. So here we are today. Graphics are moving forward at a slow rate, have been since 2005 really, game play is mostly mimicked of days gone by, game features are often non existent to what we had back then and finally game stability, yeah, what's that??? lol We wait year after year in some cases for basic features and glaring bugs to get fixed in a game. No more beautiful boxes, it's all just kinda boring. I've lost faith in new games but boy are the old fun to still play today! In all honesty, I'm having more fun today playing these games then I did back then. No PC specs to worry about, games are all maxed and running at a million fps! Everything I have tried to run I have running perfectly on my modern operating system. No, I don't use Win 10! If NOLF got a remake, almost certainly a HD version retaining all of the original game play would be terrific. Unfortunately and sadly, it going through something like Steam is just a modern day necessity. Even if it doesn't get a remake, I don't really care. NOLF is running, playing and looking great on my modern PC as it is imo. I'm totally happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameragodzilla Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Right now, No One Lives Forever and Soldier of Fortune are the two classic FPS series that aren't available for sale anywhere that I really want, and it's sad. I wonder if there's anyone out there working on resolving the rights issue or if the situation is just untenable. Some news would be nice...

Nope it remains in limbo which is why we have the media for all three games in our downloads section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but only copies you can find on ebay or amazon are used now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do occasionally find old games for sale from the thrift stores in my area, so there's a chance they might appear. I found old copies of Battlefield 1942 and Call of Duty 4 there, among others. Hopefully I might get lucky and find a legit copy of NOLF 1 and 2 there. At least fans are preserving them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
