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 (www.pcgamer.com)

The upshot is that since nobody knows whether they own it or not there is nobody bothering to actively enforce copyright, so you can just download the games for free if you want on NOLFrevival.

    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.
