The game is today not available for sale anywhere and is considered semi-lost to time. Creator/NightdiveStudios has expressed interest in securing the rights to put out a remastered re-release of both games, but so far their attempts have been caught up in a particularly nasty bit of legal deadlock due to three different companies potentially owning the rights to the IP: Creator/{{Disney}} (first game was published by their now-defunct Fox Interactive division), Creator/{{Activision}} (second game was published by Sierra Entertainment, who belonged to Vivendi Games, who were in turn absorbed by Activision in 2008), and Creator/WarnerBrosInteractiveEntertainment (acquired Monolith, the developers, in 2004), none of whom know who owns what or consider it worth the trouble to hire someone to search their pre-digital archives, but have all threatened legal action for any unauthorized use of the IP regardless. Fans have kept the game alive, however, KeepCirculatingTheTapes style.

It's also only one phrasing variation away from the John Gardner ''Bond'' novel ''Literature/NobodyLivesForever''. It is also unrelated to the '60s spy film ''Film/AgentForHARM'', despite sharing the name of a villainous organization.

* ActingUnnatural: An early level in a Hamburg nightclub has Cate being followed by a HARM spy. The tail is immediately suspicious with his fedora and raincoat, and Cate's partner for the level mentions that he's so obsessed with blindly following her that he'd probably wander into traffic just to keep up with her. As expected, he follows her right into the women's restroom and gets himself iced.

** At one point in #1, you must scuba dive to a sunken ship which is now, you guessed it, filled with sharks. To make it even more fun, they kill you in one hit if they catch you.
** And again later on, while you're crossing a bridge in the BigBad's [[SupervillainLair secret lair]], [[spoiler:a HaveANiceDeath sign (complete with smiley face!) pops up in front of you and the bridge drops out from under you, dumping you into a shark tank.]]
