Watching this while I’m stoned I literally feel like I’m a kid again watching my big brother play it on his old crt windows xp computer. Nostalgia is hitting hard with this one. You get it
Ah, the CDs. As I was returning from office today I sensed a smell similar to when you first opened a videogame box with a CD and an artbook/guide in it. Good times!
One of the best games ever....I was very fortunate to play this game in 1998 when I was 14 years old....I can still remember the feeling of enthusiasm I had back then when life was so much simpler.
Half-Life. The best computer game in the universe. I'm not crying, I just got dust in my eyes. I was once again proud of myself for being a child in the 1990s.
I first tried Half-Life at "computer club" (internet cafe minus the internet, just LAN), it was deathmatch on crossfire and it blew my mind. Before it everyone was playing Blood, Doom and sometimes Quake in multiplayer deathmatch there (also Descent and Warcraft 2), the graphics blew me away.
Playing those games over LAN back in the days was really something else. I myself was always excited to play them, as compared to today the majority of games just feel empty and dull...
dang, Gordon Freeman was only 27 when HL1 took place. I am now over 10 years older than Gordon was.. I was like 11 years old when this game came out and I played it. I am now x3 to x4 older than I was.
I was born in the year 2000, but I love classic games like this! I think it's because I used to watch my dad and uncle play DOOM, Hexen, Duke Nukem 3D and Codename Tenka. Sometimes my dad would even let me play with him when I was little, so I ended up getting a taste for classic games.
When that Windows booted up and launched the desktop screen with the iconic sound, it didn't do just that. What it actually did was that it transported all of us back to our good childhood days. After you'd hear the sound, you'd probably give your RAM a bit more time to get "used" to the loaded OS (heh, that's what I used to do at least) but immediately after, you knew a new adventure was about to begin... which would only leave you with more good memories.
2 feelings here. strange and amazing at the same TIME. i remember clearly seeing the half life advertisement in the subway train! that half life menu text glowing in orange... and the sound.. so half life.. i have to also note that i been making levels for half life with valvehammer editor long time ago and i remember what fascinated me was the BEAUTIFUL special ligtning and the sky in half life maps. the sky gave me the eerie atmosphere
God actually HEARING the drive engage, I love SSDs and they're infinitely better but there is something so charming about seeing computers like this booting up, hearing each piece click into place, all running one of my favorite 90s shooters ever ❤
It was cool. Your friends would come over to watch you play or you watch them and see them be amazed. There was only online forums and „chatrooms“ to share your thoughts and experiences with strangers about it. But crt monitors make every game special in its own. The image depth was never matched sadly again by other monitor technologies. Only the expensive OLED somehow manage to roughly create the same depth but still no match. In crt its like you are actually looking into something. Into the game and not just at a moving portrait. Hard to explain you should try to compare if you get the chance. And its not just babbling its actually the case. Just as the coloring in expensive CRTs is still better than most current LCD
This takes me back, used to play this on an old PC with my brother in ‘the computer room’ when we were real young. Now I never see him, he’s half way round the world with his own family. Remember those innocuous moments with the ppl you love because strangely, those can be what you miss the most.
Man. Everythings Start There: 2 Man Leaved from Microsoft in August 1996. When at time in 1996: 1.300-1.400 people working on Microsoft. And Mike & Gabe was Microsoft developers at time. And 1 Day Mike says " There is so many people working on microsoft. I want to leave and i want make my own game company. " and gabe saw this mike idea and both leaved microsoft and they created own game company & software: Valve Software. Legendary Yellow Color & Black Color. And They First game project is: Submarine. ( Fact: Low People know about valve first game project & first cancelled game project: Submarine. ) and then 1997 They Take Quake Game Engine. They trying to make own game with Quake Engine to own game. Half-Life. and then they did delay game because its still not looking good. totaly game looks like quake mod half-life. and then 1998 they finally created own game engine with quake engine: GoldSource. Aka Source 0 Game Engine. What a History.
@@cndvdxyhjblbilg well it wasn't possible. I played it for the first tile this year. Honestly, I loved it. Fps aren't usually what I go for, but I think Half Life is one of my favorite games
When I was 10 years old, this was all I ever wanted. To play Half life on a PC. I used to dream about it all the time. Half Life was my very first 3d game, and the graphics looked extremely real at the time. It's funny because I have a Steam Deck with the game installed, and I barely touched it. Gotta play it one of these days.
For me it was quite the same, I always wanted to play games, but the parents never let me play, and never bought me those games. Now that I am older, I can finally afford to play those games and enjoy everything that I missed back then :)
Man, Nostalgia hits different. Videos like this inspired me and I restored an old Windows 98 machine & XP so I could re-live all these old feelings. It's awesome. Love your setup!
I've got a Compaq Deskpro EN SFF Pentium II 400 MHz system with ATI 3D Rage Pro graphics (XPERT@Work in particular, I think) from 1998, and it runs Half-Life quite well at 640x480. I wish I had a CRT monitor to use with this computer, but at least I've got a beige square LCD monitor.
Plot twist: He travelled in time in the resonance cascade to stole a potato pc and a disk of Half-Life to record it But lets be honest, the installation and old gameplay WON is a badass.
I remember the first time I booted up my windows do with HL it was like a rainy day when I bought it and sat down a played it I was mind blown todays standards it might look bad but backing in 1998? That was ground breaking this takes me back.
man... so long... i have a PS2 version i really like.. now a black mesa old oposing force and blueshift. wow.. waiting last two like a black mesa..after so many years, thisl old game is still kicking hard.
@@as1ren same here.. wyiting on steam for that remadter.. for me black mesa is just wow. Hope oposing force and blue shift follow the steps of black mesa. Until then original is stil kicking like crazy.
oh man this game was so ground breaking, I remember how immersed I was the first time riding the intro tram. This was the introduction to first person shooters on a large scale, something only really experienced before in turrok or golden eye for me. My favorite memory about this game was watching my friend play, who was speed running halflife back in 2000 when we were probably 12-13 years old. It's funny to think people were speed running that far back, now there are whole leagues of people specialized in specific speed run games. He was ahead of his time and is unfortunately not around today, but it is nice to think about him while watching this CRT HL run through
aaahhh... When I was born (in the mid-2005), when DVDs were common and push-button phones were common, this video reminded me of the days when I was little. We have been using Windows 7 since I was 4-5 years old, but at that time my relatives had Win XP computers with such tubes. I didn't know how to download games back then and we always asked my father's cousin to download it (we even bought such a DVD to download the C&C Generals game). Feelings today were very different from those days. what time has passed...😭
Yep, even gaming in 2005 was much more different than today...but in the 90's I think it was even more magical. Just the sheer quality of the games cannot compare to todays influx of cashgrabbing titles :/
Thats exactly how i remember it, played it in 2003 on a similar looking computer, though i had an LG flatron monitor. That loud siren sound test startled me horribly, I was installing the game around 10pm or something lol
Everyone that used to play Half-Life are now senior compared to Gordon Freeman. Time sure flies by fast wouldn't mind playin this again it gives such a nostalgia😭
I remember having the Half-Life Generation pack which contained the base game with the two add-ons and Counter Strike was also included as a yellow disc. Back in the days I was messing around installing and deleting then reinstalling every four discs one by one to pass time. *Good times* hahahaha
This was me when I first saw the game at a friend's house in mid 1998. I didn't get to play it for myself until I got my first ComPQA in Dec. 2000. I STILL have the original boxed copy of this, HL Blueshift and Opposing Force. I have original boxed copies of 1993 Day of the Tentacle, 1989 Skate or Die disk floppy boxed, 1995 Burncycle, and 1997 Duke Nukem if anyone's interested. Boxed copies of MGS 1 1998 and a bunch of others.
All we need now is to do a LAN Party with these Windows XP machines, and we'd have a Counter Strike (or a Team Fortress Classic) comp as Gabe Newell intended.

Beautiful, just beautiful. Old games almost always look better on CRT monitors, probably because they were designed for them!
yes it definitely has a different feel to it, emulating or playing on modern pcs just doesnt feel the same

a gigantic hindrance on my life it has been which changed the trajectory of my life for the worse.

amen!!
Counter 1.6 is another nostalgic game with that monitor
the OG CS 1.6
Half life 98 was an unforgettable adventure, one of the very few that kept me hooked until I finished the game. Good old times!
Wow 😱, that's my PC 🔥
@@BChungus we have the same PC 😁
Old but really gold days dude... 😥
