     Well, here we go! Original Half-Life got updated for its 25th anniversary.

     In addition to brand new content & features some of the stuff is reverted back to its 1998 state, and some pre-release materials are also included!

     Not sure what happened there. And I don't even know if we're ever going to find out. Let's hope that means they are updating the game for whatever reason.

     Wake me up the day they release a DRM-free build. Gratis is still too costly for a DRM-infested game.

     @dosnostalgic the main menu is a re-creation of the ‘98 original. it was originally an avi file playing on an 8 color indexed background. Ended up upresing or re-creating all the assets for ~4k/21:9 and then we animated it in code with timing meant to match the avi (but it randomly moves instead of following the 4 second loop). it was fun as hell to get to indulge in this
