Comment on Just in case you thought reviving dead games seemed easy enough, GOG had to hire a private investigator to find an IP holder living off the grid for its preservation program

  Worst case scenario, we quickly find out who owns it when someone pops up trying to claim their money.

  Such a fun game too.

  There also was a free add-on/extension (something) called Jack that was a short game.

    Both NOLF 1&2 and Contract JACK are available on the website above, patched and fixed to work on modern machines.

    YMMV but when I tried NOLF 1 for the first time earlier this year I sadly found the gameplay so poorly aged I wasn’t having enough fun to make myself finish it - despite the setting, theme and writing being quite fun.

    I might give it another shot at some point though, it was a critic’s darling back in the day and I’d like to be able to say I have played it.

      Same here, I watched the rest of the game on YouTube and the creativity is astounding. Next to try is NOLF 2, hopefully that one is better aged.

  I had no idea about this, thank you.
