I should dig my physical copies out of the boxes in my garage. Only problem is I don't know which boxes those games got put into...

I still have mine on my desk, but my new PC doesn't have an optical drive. I guess I'll have to step up and get one of those soon...

Have anyone played the PS2 version of NOLF1? I own it but have heard it isn't as good as the PC one since you can't quicksave in it.

I remember there being a game with unknown rights that never would see a re-release. It was praised as one of the greatest masterpieces of video game history, and yet nobody cared... things were made more complicated by rights being tangled somewhere between an insurance company (!) and EA.
And then, in a turn of badassery the insurance group actually bought the rest of the rights to the game, and in February 2013 it came back to digital distribution...

And what happened there with System Shock 2 could happen again. Never give up hope!

I found it to be really wonkey and imprecise. I liked it a lot for the story and setting more than anything. Never played the Pc version.

Thanks for the info and it sounds like it's at the very least playable so maybe I will give it a shot.

The PC version of NOLF has no issues with precision or the controls in general. Even aiming with the scope is smooth and nice. Must add that when NOLF was released, I had a PC with 1 GHz CPU, 1 GB RAM and a 64 MB GeForce 2 Ultra GPU which made the game run like molten butter so that's a little bit overpowered compared to the PS2.

Makes me wish it would come out on GOG even more.

Sadly, the way this will likely play out is that every company in the situation will refuse to do anything. Then, if anyone tries to touch the IP, EVERY company will swarm in with attorneys salivating at the "lost revenue", "theft", "tarnished label", etc.

Legal systems are desperately due for a more defined and usable IP expiration policy. Something like Public Domain, but that actually works and can't be manipulated by deep wallets.
