Playing the ‘elder’ Half-Life has some entertainment values: first of all I wasn’t that amused seeing the Steam engine installed. It crashes so once in a while too (a couple times already), plus it seems to update itself automatically to present me the latest stuff that won’t ever run on this hardware. Yeah!
Bugs too: the most annoying one is in the elevator in the ‘We’ve got hostiles’ level: this is a bug that happens so consequently that it has to be a game core bug. There are a couple of ways to get by it: the hard way or the ‘I feel lucky way’. I opted to go for the latter, which comes all back to timing: before the ‘loading’ text appears make sure you’re jumping. No joke. It works.
For the rest it’s all the same (except I can play it on high resolution now, earlier I was never able to do it this way), which means I can’t wait to play the other ones (‘Opposing forces’ [which I played before] and ‘Blue Shift’).
