Half-Life
Developer: Valve Software
Released: Sierra Entertainment 1998
Source port used: Steam version (NOT Half-Life Source)

** Plot
A mysterious alien artifact has been recovered and brought to a top-secret research facility in the Black Mesa. When newcomer Dr. Gordon Freeman is assigned to physically test the artifact, things go very wrong when the artifact opens a destructive and unstable portal to Xen, a planet in a different dimension. Gordon blacks out, and awakes in a now crippled and ruined research facility. When Freeman and the survivors of this ordeal discover the portal has allowed its inhabitants deadly alien creatures to enter the facility, they realize that they must call the government for help. The government, however, already has plans to contain this incident by silencing the witnesses.


** Notes
The Steam version is the closest to the original that I could find.
- The initial menu looks more like the one in Half-Life 2. I don't think the background picture is the same either.
- This version uses True color, whereas the original did not. You barely notice it.
- The Hazard Course tutorial is missing. -
