Originally released in November 1998, Valve Software’s debut title shocked pretty much everybody by delivering a truly groundbreaking, engrossing, single-player game along with a surprisingly fun and stable online experience. Half-Life went on to win over 50 "Game of The Year" awards from various publications and spawned a variety of successful modifications, add-ons, and mission packs. Today, Half-Life is still by far the most popular first person shooter online.
In Half-Life, you take on the role of Gordon Freeman, an innocent scientist who gets caught in the middle of a government experiment that goes tragically wrong, flooding the Black Mesa Research Facility with aliens and monsters. Fortunately, the government sends in the Marines. Unfortunately, they want to wipe out everything, including you.

Half-Life’s development history can best be described as… unusual. While Half-Life is technically Valve Software’s first game, Half-Life was nearly thrown out and completely remade one year into its development. As such, there is some interesting old screenshots, concepts, and information out there regarding the Half-Life game that might have been. The best source for all this information is the Half-Life Nostalgia Project, a very cool site and a must see if you’re interested in Half-Life history.
