14 years ago I may have been playing HL

[cHk4]

You know... I never actually completed HL

Welcome to my world and I own all of them from various Steam packs. I will play them......one day.......

The opening sequence was brilliant!
It is what I remember the most really, I guess because it is the first you see and at the time is was brilliant, I can honestly say the whole Half Life series has changed the way of gaming in my opinion.

One of the first games to change FPS from Doom/Quake 'run and gun' with little to no story to an interactive world and narrative.

HL and Unreal were the two games that really pushed this forward.

Get out!

I picked up HL almost by accident. I'd bought Thief from WH Smiths but it wouldn't run so I exchanged it for HL. Remember it loading up in 320x240 software mode as soon as I set it to open gl my jaw dropped. Better than Thief 1 any day.

HLDM made me upgrade to ISDN. Damn those phone bills.

Ban... Baaaaan

First played this on a pentium 2 400 mhz with intel 740 gfx

I was 9! I was enjoying Le Mans 24 hour on my p2 450 with a voodoo 2

Just got my n64 as well, pc gaming wasn't no1 for me for a few years...

I was 10 I remember when WON closed and was replaced. I used to love TF2 on 2Fort. Spent a lot of my childhood playing that!!

What's the score with black Mesa source? I've installed HL2 from steam again, do you get the mod through steam?

Geforce FX 5200, those were the days when i played titles like Half-Life, Jedi Knight etc.

 

[Jono]

I miss Barrysworld

 

[FARGO]

Favourite game on any platform. The modding community that sprung from it was insane.

They Hunger, USS Darkstar, Action Half-Life, Freeman's Revenge all amazed me. If anyone is interested to relive some past memories...

14 years :O

That has gone quick! I miss the old TFC days

 

[PistolPete]

I bought an entire new PC for HL.

PII-350 (spanking new100Mhz FSB, not the old and slow 66Mhz)
128Mb 100Mhz RAM,
ATI Xpert 98 AGP card (AGP and not PCI, and no passthru 3d card required)
6GB HDD
14" 800x600 CRT.

Cost me £1,500!!!

I remember playing in the dark and ****ing myself when a headcrab jumped out of the dark! Once I'd finished I found Counter Strike Beta and TFC on 56k as I couldn't get ADSL or HomeHighway in my area. Ended up play Counter Strike until Source, setup and admined a bunch of server then I quit for the Battlefield series.

How I loved half life, I used to get a special warm feeling when I heard the words "Sir, I hear something" and then that funky music....

hated the alien levels though!

14 years ago I think was around the time I had my new Christmas present of:

PIII 800Mhz
32MB RAM (i think )
32MB nVidia Riva TNT2
2GB HDD, again can't quite remember

I actually didn't bother with Half Life, as shocking as that may seem, instead stuck with the sim style games like Theme Hospital, Theme Park and Fifa Soccer Manager. I believe that I did get Gunman Chronicles next and then Unreal Tournament GOTY edition which was cracking.

Such a long time ago and look back on it fondly as that was when I really started getting into computers.

800Mhz CPU in 1998....don't think so, PII 450 were about as fast as you could get back then..i think.

I bought a PII 333mhz in July 98, and that was near top of the range..

 

[Souness]

Still play TFC to this day. TF2 is too slow and online shooters in general these days I find boring =/.

 

[Thesnipergecko]

I've never played Half Life 1 My first PC game was Delta Force played on a P3 450 Voodoo 3 2000

May have still been using my old P1 200Mhz jobby then, the PIII must have been a couple of years later.

In that case it was Ultimate Soccer Manager which, to this day, is the best football management game ever made.

P3 was 1999 when I had my first PC, I remember the guy saying to me, it has a 12GB HDD, you will never fill that!

I loved the original HL. Incredible game.

Really wish Valve would hurry the **** up and make HL3 already
