Do I take the job? This weird guy keeps asking me to choose!
I got stuck at a bad save point where Gonarch wouldn’t come down to the boss area and gave up forever.
You might hate me for this, but I never finished the original Half-Life.
I have finished Black Mesa, original game’s expansions, Half-Life 2 and it’s episodes, but never Half-Life 1.
I always quit somewhere after the middle of the game, and only once I got to Xen.
Fantastic game. What a year for landmark video games, too.
I absolutely love this game but unfortunately I just couldn’t bring myself to compete Zen in this and Black Mesa so I can’t say I’ve beaten either.

I am still a little upset that if I don’t take his offer, I don’t even get to try and fight all those aliens he teleports me into the center of. 😠
Congratulations!
I beat it for the first time a couple years ago. Not too shabby. I think I had to look up how to do the platforming in xen.
Blue shift and Opposing force are neat add-ons to hl1.
I’ve bothered to finish Xen maybe 3-4 times in my life but everything before that point I’ve played through probably 80 times, I love it so much
Same here, the journey is over when you reach Xen it’s just some mopping up that’s left.
And when I reach the Citadel in HL2 it’s also a tossup if I continue.
You should also play black mesa, portal, and alyx
Black Mesa is just ““chef’s kiss””
Yeah xen in hl1 is pretty meh but in black Mesa it’s incredible. So well done
I recently played HL1 and Black Mesa back to back. It was really fun :)
The Orange Box is one of the last gaming purchases that I actually got my moneys worth out of.
Orange box was amazing value for money
Well done, Mr. Freeman!
I’ve played through Half Life twice. Once on original release and secondly when it received that big remaster fairly recently. I’m my opinion, it’s a fantastic game until you get to Xen and it becomes a bit of a annoying platform fest.
Those same criticisms were there when it was released. I remember reading it on Digitiser.
Xen when you have to jump on those space manta rays to get to the floating island is mega annoying
I actually like the platforming in the game but the low gravity in Xen does make it annoying. Missed so many jumps, definitely abused quick save
Same. Original and then Orange Box.
Dang, and I thought I was late to the party when I did my first play through in 2004.
