Story:Dr. Gordon Freeman doesn't speak, but he's got a helluva story to tell. This first-person roller-coaster initiated a new era in the history of action games by combining engrossing gameplay, upgraded graphics, ingenious level design and a revolutionary story that may not be all that it seems, told not through cutscenes, but through the visual environment.Show more

I think this is an important tile that deserves to be preserved for all time. It was truly a revolutionary experience and to have it without steam works integrated would make it last forever
This game is amazing, but it needs an update without DRM because of the steamworks problem, with its 25th anniversary update I fixed a lot of bugs in the original.
It would be awesome to be able to grab this game's offline installers one day; who knows if this will ever happen. I know that this would be an instabuy for me if the price were reasonable; even though I already own the game elsewhere. This is probably the game that made me a PC gamer and I remember sitting on a chair right beside my father watching him play this, since I was too young to play without feeling too scared. Good times.
While Valve might not be planning to share HL or HL2 to gog due to being a competitor brand I would still believed gog can still preserve the game with valve approval and only get release if in any chance valve would belly up.
One of the first major PC games me and my brothers played when I was a kid. Next to other games like Starcraft, Diablo 2, Tomb Raider 3-4, etc. Not to mention the countless number of mods spawned from Half-Life, such as Sven Co-op, They Hunger, Heart of Evil, Afraid of Monsters, Master Sword, Action Half-Life, The Specialists, Natural Selection, and so on. As well as mods that turned into official games, like Team Fortress Classic and Counter-Strike.
It would be great if we got both legacy, and 25th anniversary builds, and also throw in the WON version with a resolution patch for the hell of it. Shame I need to use a ST emu to play my copy outside of Steam. Valve should, at the very least, put the HL1 trilogy on here - HL1, Opposing Force, and Blue Shift.
This game is one of the best ever made, regardless of its creators, this game deserves to be preserved forever. Its 25th anniversary update was great so it's a perfect candidate to be discussed in detail.
I'm hopeful that Valve is a company that can open up the dialogue to give the green light to its distribution outside of its store.
The 25th anniversary update for this game on Steam was a masterpiece, but this game still deserves to be preserved in its original 1998 form. To have that original version of the game preserved for the world to see would be incredible.
I played this for the first time during a date in 2006. I was surprised the group that made it made more games. I had so much fun, I had to play more of the series. I was totally enthralled with the game and story-line.
