Thank you for showing me a game I never heard before, it's looks good I like the theme and style of the game but also goodman's shirt isn't the only thing hitting my eyeballs hard.

By Netflix. MUAHAHAHA

[@osek64]

and no one lives forever 2

[@TwistedExisted894]

Alot better remaster than poor poor 13

[@anonymouse2675]

To shorten a very long story. I ended up raising one of my nephews who had been abused. In the process of trying to make the kids life better I got him a computer and some games, including this one. We would play together as sort of a bonding experience. This turned out to be one of his favorites, and he was so good at it, I couldn't even come close... It was awesome for his confidence to be better than Uncle Joe at stuff, so I will always have a soft spot for this game.

[@Zelix678]

Then better live forever, and even then it's not going to happen.

[@Cybershroom]

Feels like we are one rabbit hole away from getting into the Perfect Dark or Timesplitters franchise with Indeimaus lol.

[@palchristianandersen9086]

[@BluWarta92]

​@@palchristianandersen9086I believe guy behind Night Dive Studios said he will never give up on this game. Though there is little to do here anymore. Everybody claims they don't care about the franchise... Though once you even blink at it they threat to sue you if they find a snipped of this game franchise belongs to them. Sigh....

[@AUM_-po9sc]

Court is the only option left, tbh. Someone will have to go digging to prove the existence of licensing rights.

[@JohnPeacekeeper]

Man, one thing I love about NOLF is just how much the dialogue feels like the writers had fun. The game designers had fun too. You can absolutely feel all of the absurd 80s spy tropes.

[@thecandlemaker1329]

80's? Seriously?

[@Hawk7886]

lmao 80s

[@Nanoc.]

Old school Monolith was such a gem, godamn. I still have all their game CDs, BLOOD, Shogo MAD, AVP2, NOLF 1/2, TRON 2.0, FEAR and Condemned. Such a nostalgia hit

[@robofin117]

Fun fact: Jen Taylor, the voice actress of Cortana in the Halo series, was the voice of the protagonist in No One Lives Forever. Cortana was originally supposed to be British, but it would have been too similar to No One Lives Forever, so Bungie scrapped that accent. Edit: Jen Taylor only voiced Cate Archer in the sequel, not the first game. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@chrip8614]

Also John Patrick Lowrie (the sniper from TF2) voices like half of the NPCs

[@NeonZWarriors]

Actually, she only voiced Cate in the sequel. Kit harris voiced her in the first game.

[@noahmoran7605]

That actually explains the weird amount of british-isms in Cortana's dialogue in CE lmao

[@Hawk7886]

The sequel also came out after Halo, making it pretty unlikely they changed Cortana because of it

[@YouKnowHimTheGuy]

Cate's voice actress in this game is Kit Harrris who also voiced F.L.U.D.D. in Super Mario Sunshine.

[@ChaserX17]

The constant dialogue callouts to the spy genre's misogyny was refreshing and fun to see.

[@Akzcer]

Fun fact: 17:32 guys are talking about being poked in a leg with an umbrella. It is a reference to death of Georgi Markov who was killed by a device called Bulgarian umbrella which is an umbrella with special pneumatic mechanism which injects small poisonous ricin pellets.

[@ThirteenCorgis]

I’ve recently been replaying this game because of its humor, the amazing levels and my childhood. It’s helping me out of a dark place right now and your vid has too indeimaus. Great work as always and thanks.

[@danielcobia7818]

Hope your mental health continues to improve!

[@BlackPillVillain]

yea its helping me cope by watching this video.

[@kristiangjessvaag4617]

I love this game! Such a shame it likely won't see a remake. I'll always remember "Hard rain is falling. Everyone down!"

[@sac_YT]

i love the humour in these old games. This and Time Splitters were a trip.

[@Pickleofdeath12]

Hell yes!! Thank you so much for bringing more attention to NOLF 1+2.

[@Csumbi]

the level variety, the weapon variety, the humor, the music, and everything else, its just amazing in this game. Making a game this big today would be a monumental undertaking.

[@scarface_deb]

That was one of my favorite shooters back in the day! I got so much enjoyment out of the plot and the setting. It’s a shame it got lost in time

[@Doomvora]

I remember playing this game back when it first came out, was good fun honestly.

[@chillfollins]

This is my favorite game of all time. I still play it from time to time, still karate chop as many goons as I can, and still listen to the bonus music cd it came with in my car.

[@pillsburydoughbane2618]

It was one of a very few FPS games on Mac, so we played it repeatedly. So happy someone remembers this!

[@domacleod]

I remember NOLF and NOLF2 and by the gods they were absolute masterpieces of gunplay, storytelling, stealth, and environmental traversal. I wish we'd get more NOLF games because they were god damn great.

[@tbone9474]

I loved this game as a kid. Played Deus Ex then NOLF1 and 2. Both felt similar though to my early teen self... Also brought back some Solider of Fortune memories too

[@gabrielwilk4602]

I love when I finish watching the last Indeimaus video and the new one comes out 2 minutes after I'm done.

[@DarthSidian]

Monolith's been a legend with the NPC dialogue for ages now. Also, glad to see Indeimaus in my feed again! Bout time the algorithm put this good stuff back on my home page.

[@veryc0mm0nname]

Oh man, shogo was such a gem!!!

[@Sualin]

One of my favourites on the PS2 that seemingly no one has heard of when I talk about it

[@jooch_exe]

Stuff like this cannot be made anymore, too many justice doers watching. Had a blast as a kid with this series. The sheer amount of effort they put into to guards talking to each other was commendable.

[@IcelandicGoblin]

Bruh this game is such a nostalgia bomb for me, in my after school club they had a computer room and LANing no one lives forever was such a blast. Was my first exposure to like pvp.

[@Road_to_Dawn]

I never played the original NOLF, but I played the sequel with my dad and my brother growing up, and we still quote it all the time! “Who’s been eating my mango chutney?! My mother made that for me!!”

[@cl1379]

Oh Man, this game was great and I actually researched the silenced sniper rifle in this game. It's based on the De Lisle Carbine, which is an Enfield Rifle, highly converted to accept 45 magazine that replaces 80% of the barrel with a "silencer".

[@Haggysack2k8]

Oh boy, the dialogue in this game is absolute gold, this game needs to come back!

[@dreadlain]

Used to play this game every day as a kid, always loved the big boss battles.

[@Virtualblueart]

I loved these games, and it's a crime they haven't been remastered some time. It is Austin Powers with a female protagonist for cripes sakes. And many memorable side characters. And the NPC dialogues, I remember just pausing my sneaking just to hear two guards complain about health and safety or in 2 how to poison an unfaithful boyfriend without leaving obvious marks.

[@danielcobia7818]

I knew about the story but someone in another thread talked about why it hasn't happened, so I'll try to give them credit here: @sean8102 3 months ago From a article about nightdive trying to get the rights to do a remaster. "Fox seemingly wanted money up front to even look through their filing cabinets (which they'd repay if they found they had no rights), so when Night Dive said no to that generous offer, Fox responded by saying (and I paraphrase) "You can bet your bum we'll look in our filing cabinets for free if you start selling it." Activision just shrugged. And Warner? Well, those treats sent Night Dive a "scary letter", threatening to throw lawyers at them if they pursued re-releasing the game, despite the concurrent negotiations they were involved in. SIGH. Night Dive eventually managed to get the two parts of Warner to actually talk to each other, and sensibly ask themselves if they wanted to work out a licensing deal, which resulted in their saying... No."

[@finneon5881]

I only played the sequel, but loved that game to bits, excited to see this video!

[@seven0s]

5:50 that sound is propably a walking street vendor, a person with a cart who collects your antiques or a carpet cleaner perhaps

[@thechameleos6334]

I love how the sponsors have just turned into the Big Les Show

[@guildmastersstory2169]

If I had a nickel for every comedic spoof spy with the name Archer, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t much but it’s weird that it happened twice.

[@blastinus3714]

5:30 there is a point to that dialogue option, actually. Not only does it spawn more snipers, but it opens two mailboxes for you to gather intel from. That's what Bruno's comment about "Check the mail before you go" relates to.

[@MoonSpiritChannel]

Man, this game deserves all the love. If only it can get out of IP hell and be available for all.

[@davemardrov777]

2:55 ad break ends, video properly begins.

[@wr1120]

I never played it more than the first few levels but I was completely blown away by the feel of this game back in the days. I intend to watch the full game on youtube plus its sequel. I still have the original game somewhere in a box.

[@DogWithAPropellerHat]

Please do NOLF 2!! This was so much fun to watch.

[@Cthuloop]

This game and Monolith's AvP2 need a remaster SO badly.

I was imagining some of the firefights in high res graphics. If only we'd live to see the day of a remaster. Nice video. Looking forward to the next one, whatever game it turns out to be.

[@cheshireshadow518]

The twist after twist after twist in the end XDDD amazing

[@sonofhades57]

I'd only heard about this game when you put out a video on it, but I'm already devastated this only got one sequel and the rights are tied up. It's such a goddamn charming game.

[@forklauncher]

Well, it got another sequel, Contract J.A.C.K, but uh...we don't talk about that one.

[@baklazan777]

Mandalore reviews Myth and now this, it feels like youtube is all about unlocking some core memories of game demos from a gazette for me

[@Legendary_Honey]

I'd love to see the second one. I'd never heard of these games. This was a very intriguing watch.

[@DreDreTwice]

You ever have one of those games you desperately wanted as a kid and just never got, then as a grown arse adult you watch a youtube video of an absolute legend playing them and feel like the aforementioned kid...This was that moment...

[@ihatestairs9034]

I hope Nightdive somehow gets their hands on No One Lives Forever and does a proper remaster/port of it. I’ve been dying to play it

[@HeisenbergFam]

This game truly deserves a remake and a movie

[@JohnPeacekeeper]

Man, I loved this and NOLF when I was younger! Also wanna have the full art of that thumbnail, because it's so hard to find good art of Cate Archer

[@fachi4110]

Keep me posted

[@indeimaus]

all my thumbnails are comissioned so no full art of it apart from the thumbnail sadly!

[@homeprobably]

Especially the intro reminds me of Archer/Austin Powers etc. Fantastic video! Part 2 would be awesome!

[@RenIsBack20]

I think the scream you heard in the first level is the one these wandering merchants do so that people know there are near them. Each one has his own distinctive sound.

really hope you do the 2nd! i never got to play this series back in the day so its good to see someone play it that i actually enjoy! hopefully you'll include more of the games jokes tho cuz i was hoping to hear the "NO I do not have a dime and I have no use for beggers!" joke with the first target

[@Katy133]

5:45 - I believe the sound is a prayer call, one that is made from a mosque to mark a moment of the day, like a clock. The level this happens in is set in Morocco, where this form of prayer is practised. Thank you so much for covering this game, I love No one Lives Forever and I wished more people knew about this game and how it was a triumph for comedic games and FPS design.

Interesting! I always thought it could be some street vendor peddling his wares, thanks for the info!

[@DragoVids]

This was my favoirte game growing up. my 11 year old self was totally simping for cate and the comedy was hilarious. Some levels were tedious but overall one of the most memorable gaming experiences I've ever had. One of the few games I've replayed over and over again
