No One Lives Forever/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Franchise Killer: Contract J.A.C.K. was so bad that Monolith gave up on the series entirely because of it.
  • Hey, It's That Sound: The first and second games reused the "objective-updated jingle" from Shogo: Mobile Armor Division, also made by Monolith.
  • Hey, It's That Voice!:
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes/Screwed by the Lawyers: The series remains in copyright limbo for the foreseeable future due to the convoluted rights situation it got caught up in -- a situation so complicated that no one actually knows who owns the rights to it anymore. Nightdive Studios tried to sort out the rights situation in 2015, but 20th Century Fox (who originally published the first game and was later acquired by Disney), Activision (who inherited the Fox Interactive assets through a series of mergers) and Monolith's parent company Warner Bros. Interactive all sent a letter to Nightdive saying they think they do have the rights but they couldn't be bothered to go through the effort of sorting it out, leading Nightdive to abandon their plans to re-release the game.
  • Talking to Herself: Averted, despite Kit Harris voicing both Cate Archer and Inge Wagner: they never actually talk to each other.
  • What Could Have Been: The entire reason the main character is female is that MGM/UA warned they would sue with the James Bond-like male secret agent Monolith had initially planned. The game was to be a straight spy thriller set in the 60's, with no humor involved.
