Damn that reminds me of the old school Novalogic gem of the same name. Added to my wishlist, thanks.

I’d recommend removing it from your wishlist. Tencent bought the name and are the reason all the NovaLogic Delta Force games have been pulled from Steam and stuff. A Tencent subsidiary is developing the game, which is a free to play hero shooter. At this point a game about being a sky marshal on Delta flights would be a closer spiritual successor to Delta Force.

Appreciate the insight. Between that and not functioning on Linux or Proton, I'm out!

Follow up. I was still able to purchase DF1, 2, LW, and TFD from Steam as a pack for 21 CAD. Playing now via Proton. I do not think they have been removed unless it's a regional issue.

Ah, so all of them have been delisted on GoG. Black Hawk Down was delisted on Steam, however the rest remain available.

So much of my youth spent (wasted, my parents would say) on BHD, and then Joint Ops!!!
