10 Awesome Video Games You Can't Play Anymore
8. No One Lives Forever
At once a glorious send-up of and homage to 1960s spy films, No One Lives Forever is one of greatest yet most unsung FPS games of the last quarter-decade.
Despite its reputation as one of the finest post-Half-Life shooters of its era, NOLF is seriously under-appreciated in contemporary gaming circles, largely due to it remaining trapped on archaic formats.
It was released physically on PC in 2000 and PS2 in 2002, yet due to the extremely murky state of the IP's ownership, the game hasn't ever been given a release on modern digital storefronts.
The only legal way to play the game today is to source a tatty, decades-old copy of the PC or PS2 versions, though in 2017 an anonymous party took matters into their own hands and posted a new version of NOLF and its sequel, patched for modern PCs with high-resolution support no less.
Again, this unofficial issue isn't strictly speaking legal, though even the most ardent anti-pirates might struggle to get too bent out of shape about freeloading a game that the rights-holders literally won't let you buy, the silly buggers.
