PC Half-Life (WON)

The original CD retail version of the game, not the current one on Steam was interesting in many aspects

The 25th anniversary update brought some of them but I think that nothing will replicate the ambience of the original in Software Mode.

My dad's pc only had a 4mb onboard ATi video processor so I could only play HL in software mode upto patch 1.0.1.3...I think. Good times.

I definitely played in OpenGL with my 3DFX card - I think I maybe got it a year or so after release though. One of the most formative games of my teenage years along with Quake and Jedi Knight.

I liked Half-Life Legacy but playing in Software mode for the original version felt different.

Man, I love Half-Life regardless of the version. I think it's some kind of problem of mine, or maybe just a lot of love, I don't know.

I still own my copy.

I think it was the first "famous" game my Windows 98 PC could absolutely run without grief.

Good times.

Nah. I even finished Source several times.

Physical? I think that incidentally I own Half-Life Generations twice.

Half-Life, Blue Shift and Opposing Force were all INCREDIBLE games.

I just downloaded Half-Life Legacy recently, I can't wait to start it.

Merry Christmas All !!!

Enjoy! Half-Life Restored also got a massive update at the same time.

Blue Shift

I don't think that one's very well loved, but I'm glad you enjoy it!

I remember playing HL, somewhat vaguely. Those head crabs or whatever they were called creeped me out. True for small, squirrely things that jump at the player like Duke 3D slimers.

I'm the weird guy who isn't that fan of Opposing Force nor HL² Episode 2 but prefers Blue Shift and HL² Episode 1 instead.

Any kind of face hugger is annoying to deal with but at least they're weak.

Blue Shift is my favorite

Don't own the disc sadly. Playing the steam version instead. At least once every year i play HL, it's like a tradition at this point

I don't want to ruin things for all you Otaku, BUT
The Blue Shift instruction manual features the sentence "Buy flowers for Lauren"
So I'm thinking GF or wife.

I don't care if Gearbox' HL aren't canon but I feel bad for her knowing what happened right after Gordon has defeated the Nihilanth.
