Oh man, HalfLife the game that pissed off so many gamers.

Back then when you bought a new video card it came with a cool game.
Each card maker had a different game to lur you in.

Millions n millions went out and bought the same brand of card to get a copy of HalfLife [including me] and not until you got it home and open did you find out it was a full version 1 lvl game or some tricky way of saying hahaha sucker you got a demo over the usually full verion. Which made buying a pricy new card worth it when ya got a free game with it.

Its what killed it.

Thanks for sharing that. Not sure what it would take to create 17 episodes of that. I'm still waiting for Half-Life 2, Episode 3. LOL

It was a long long time ago.

3DFX was the big players in the game.

And at the time you coudln't download a demo like that.
Everyone was on dialup and would of taken a week.


Still got a monster 3D II card sitting on top of my monitor collecting dust.
The add on 3DFX card, one badass mother, 3 processors with 12megs of ram at 100mhz

And don't forget the jumper pins where you could daisy chain up to 4 of them in SLI mode, each one taking a section of the screen for max FPS at max settings.

ANd from the pic, only 1 person was smart enough to bring a comfy chair, and looks to be a pillow n sleepinbag by his side. He was prepared.

Probably has a 3liter bottle of pop for that extra wide mouth opening for easy peein into while still sitting

I remember how those graphics were cutting edge back then. Now they seem like stick figures running around.
