I may well do the same. It’s got me in the mood.

Can anyone help with how to install this please?
Ive downloaded the software and started the installer and now it is asking me which rendering api the game uses.. The choices are Direct3D9, Direct3D 10/11/12, Open GL, Vulcan.
When they ask, select D3D9. If you're ever unsure about a game, go to its pcgamingwiki page and check it out. https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Black_Mesa
Btw, in that video they are using a shader that's in development and access to which is not free. https://www.patreon.com/mcflypg

Thanks. Ive selected DX9 and its all gone into the game fine but I am presented with a huge list of effects and don't know what to pick?
This is stupid and im annoyed already after only a couple of minutes. I 'just' want to enable it with one click not spend hours configuring.

Yes it's a complete remaster of HL1 using the Source engine.
I've played most of it now and really enjoyed most of it, but Xen is way to long and I'm starting to lose interest. Oh also the helicopters can go do one.

They changed their mind mid way through production of it, was always supposed to be free

Do you work for free?
The 2012 version was free, all you had to own was one of the HL(2 AFAIR) game so it could be installed and use its base engine but at release in Sep 2012 they did a larger full free standalone.
Then again in 2015 (AFAIR) they did another update using newer source engine with Valves blessing) so this is when it changed.

Im not at Xen yet.
I think theres about 16 levels of Xen, something like that in this, as im sure they said they'd expanded it.
Its a cracking game, i got the free version at first, then paid for it, thought why not, as its worth buying.

Its well worth £15 infact its better than most full price aaa titles. Have paused playing this though to play Half life Alxy. 
Yeah I get the gripes given that it was meant to be free at first but hey, it's amazing and i've played worse games that i've spent £50 on, in fact I stumped that up for a certain other game this week that proved to be a massive let down.
So if my £15 means they have the money to go on and give Blueshift or Opposing Force the same treatment it's money well spent.

Its basically a HD pack for a 20+ year old game - £15 is a joke.
