The No One Lives Forever (abbreviated NOLF) series is a series of stealth-action/first person shooter video games in a 1960s' spy-themed setting with atompunk elements. It consists of three games. Its Cold War humor plays a big part, and also makes fun of spy films' stereotypes, sexism, problems of society, 60s culture and etc. Levels could be completed with either dynamic and jolly firefights or interesting and atmospheric stealth. The various plots revolves around confrontation between various organizations (such as UNITY and H.A.R.M.) and world terror.

Trivia
- The lack of a remastered version of the games and/or a threequel is due to a question of copyright ownership. Warner Bros., Fox and Activision may have them, but no one surely knows who has the rights. Nightdive Studio wanted to remaster NOLF games, but was unsuccessful in finding the rights owner.
- In early development, NOLF was a planned sequel of the Monolith anime-esque game Shogo. Due to a lack of success, Monolith decided to make spy-themed game instead.
