      The real ones remember installing games off physical media into Steam. When it was released we were all like “What do we need this for?”

      I got into PC gaming in 2015 and finished HL2 before HL1 then finished BM instead, so technically I’ve never touched og HL before

        Black Mesa is missing nothing from the original, polished every single aspect of the game to a beautiful shine and it’s relatively cheap. You aren’t missing anything, it should be considered the definitive way to play the original now IMO.

      I’ve only ever played HL2 on Orange Box on xbox, but I’m definitely thinking I might have to try the original because I remember HL2 being a good time, for the most part.
