No One Lives Forever! Please and thank you.
They're both fantastic games, but the original (in which you go to Hamburg and a space station) felt more adventurous rather than the more grounded sequel (in which you go to the arctics and even more exotic locale: my hometown of Calcutta). Set it in the fictionalized disco-themed cold-war with the lead jet-setting around the world, and we're golden!
Also, only a single game, but: Arcanum. (At least this one's possible to buy on Gog and Steam...)
Arcanum supposedly had a sequel in the works at some point: Journey to the Center of Arcanum, and frankly, while I'd prefer to see other continents on that world explored a là Around the World in 80 Days, I'd still be sold on a hollow-earth adventure any day!
[Finished with the edits now!]
Such a shame NOLF is so deeply mired in rights disputes that we’ll probably never even get a digital rerelease, let alone a sequel.
I keep hearing that, but it seems like if there was a market for a 60s-themed spy game, someone would make a game that's totally starring Kat Bowman who is an agent for ACCORD.
Sadly it's probably more that uh, there isn't and now I'm going to go sad replay NOLF again.
A friendly reminder to everyone: there is a fan project, part 1 and 2 updated to run on modern systems. They have their own page, the full games can be downloaded from there, and they just work. Just Google the title and fan update.
Which is what the NOLF link in my post points to.
Edit: no that's just NOLF revival. I suppose I shouldn't change it now, and thanks for posting ☺️
Nonono, that's it!!! I totally missed the link :)
After fiddling with my original CDs back two years I gave up and installed these! Wide-screen, stable, high resolutions, perfect! I was so happy fans decided to get them running again!
Me too! My original discs for the sequel was unreadable even before I got to play it (it was a hand-me-down).
I also found this mod on itch as well, after your post. I think I had to edit the configs to get the resolution writing for Nolf2 even on the revival copy (and, save files from different resolutions don't load!) If this patch can work around those issues that'd be great.
Time for another playthrough of the series, on the Steam Deck!
