The Operative - No One Lives Forever, Monolith's Classic Spy-Themed FPS Trapped In Licensing Hell | Time Extension

What is it?

"The pitch that I had at the time was that 'It's the guy that you call when James Bond can't get the job done.'" Hubbard said. "So it was meant to be someone much more badass. I had written a lot of sample scenes, and in it the main character is interacting with sort of the Bond girl kind of characters. And I wanted to give those interactions a twist and make them up to date and not have it be sexist in the way that it was back in the 60s. So I was playing around with that, and it just sort of hit me like, 'What if I just flip this and make the protagonist the Bond girl?'.

Why can't we have?

Today, No One Lives Forever and the other games in the series are sadly unavailable to buy anywhere online, with no one knowing for certain who owns the game's rights, thanks to Warner Brother's acquisition of Monolith Production and Fox Interactive having been bought and sold a few times since the first game originally released.
On multiple occasions, Stephen Kick, the studio head at Nightdive — a video game company known for its remasters of old properties like System Shock 1 & 2 — has expressed an interest in trying to track down the owners of these rights to remaster the games for modern audiences, but as of the time of writing, at least, the developer has seemingly been unable to make a breakthrough.
Kick told the publication VGC earlier this year, though, that he doesn't intend to "give up" on this mission and has once again expressed his intentions to try to untangle this complicated web of rights.

I absolutely adore this game and Cate Archer. I still have my CDs, but I can't get them to install. I eventually found a way to get it running but it was in a tiny 800X600 window.

I made sure to vote for them on GOG's Dream List.

Maybe some day we'll get a remaster.

It sucks that there is real demand but not enough for anybody to pay some lawyers to figure out who owns it. I feel like the best way to find out would be for the remaster project to get started and see who sues.

GOG is having people vote for games they'd like to see GOG pursue for updating and preservation.

Two of my favorites are on the list: No One Lives Forever and N.O.L.F 2 A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way

The game is a camp 1960 British spy romp and the writing is Monolith at their best.
Cate Archer is who I wish I was.

Unfortunately it's stuck in legal limbo. Nobody is sure who owns the rights and nobody wants to take the time and money to figure it out.

I still have my CDs for the originals. They wouldn't install on my Windows 10 system but I found a hack online. It was in a tiny 640X480 window and unplayable.
