    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.

        Yea, the visuals and style of game play are great, but the mechanics are a little bland today.

        But as I think about it, the mechanics were a bit bland at the time - my 8 year old niece loved 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.
