"Contract Jack" was a commercial flop. What made the previous two NOLF games before "Contract Jack" so unique in the early 2000's was the great dialogue. I'm not sure lightning would strike twice today.


Leave it be and make something new.

It all makes sense if you just remember what H.A.R.M. stands for...


The older I get, the more I realize I don't need to be Han, Luke or Leia. I'm just happy to be rebel scum...

My favorite is when you overhear two HARM security guards talking about the Beatles and how sad they were that the Beatles quit touring but that at least they still put out good albums. biggrin

There's so much good stuff! My favorite that I remember is probably the fake lava discussion...

9:25 for the kind of dialogue you could get if you resisted the urge to kill everyone for a few moments for those of you who never discovered these gems...

I still have the disks for both games. I know that they worked with Win 7. I guess I'll dig them out to try with Win 10

Cheers

it doesnt, but since no one owns the game you can still download them for free from a site that made a custom versoin to work with modern computers
