No One Lives Forever on Wakoopa

An action game on Mac

The Operative: No One Lives Forever was published in 2000, and starred a female protagonist, spy Cate Archer. The game is a mixture of a first-person shooter and a first-person sneaker: most (but not all) missions can be solved in multiple ways: using sneaking to avoid danger, using gadgets, or by going in with guns blazing.

The basic plot of the game is that a secret organization, UNITY, watches over world peace. Several UNITY agents are murdered within a week of each other, leaving UNITY with a critical manpower shortage. In response, Cate Archer (an ex-cat burglar) is given a role as field agent to try to discover the cause of the Agent assassinations. All roads lead to a new terrorist organization named H.A.R.M., run by a colorful assortment of characters intent on destroying the free world.

The game is set in the 1960s, and includes a lot of humor: it has been described as a mixture of Austin Powers and James Bond with the lead character resembling Emma Peel from The Avengers. The player is able to scuba dive near a shipwreck, freefall from an airplane and explore a space station in zero gravity, all the while fighting armed villains.
