[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 4 points 1 year ago (3 children) Such a fun game too. There also was a free add-on/extension (something) called Jack that was a short game. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 points 1 year ago (2 children) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 year ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 2 points 1 year ago You look like you need a monkey! permalink fedilink source parent
