Since the debut of this videogame I was testing the Demo version (Opposing Force), now getting all the versions, I really have to recommend you to buy it. It's really great!

A Classic!!

I played this game (Team Fortress Classic) alot a long time ago, and lost it. So I decided to buy it again. One of the best purchases ever. It's still a lot better than TF2.

Half-Life 1 Anthology

Half-Life 1 and its expansion packs are absolutely stunning. Even though the graphics are dated by today's standards, Half-Life stands out among first person shooters with great single player and online gameplay, great replayability and stunning support from the developer, VALVe software, with their Steam system. Half-Life will remain fun even longer if you get involved with mod communities, playing the various mods available for it and make your own mods. There are many tools available online for the aforementioned modding of the game from third party persons and official modding tools from the developer of the game.

Hopelessly out of date

After playing the excellent Half Life 2 and it's sequel Episode One. I decided to blindly purchase this earlier Anthalogy. What a mistake. This game feels like it belongs on an Atari 2600 as the graphics and sound are an embarrassment to behold. Either remake this game or send it out to pasture. What a relic.

Dvd at last

I'm glad that it's all on one dvd. it's a pain to have six CD's for four games. It's to bad they didn't include the source version.

While not stellar by todays standards I can see how this game became so popular when it was originally released.

Fun game and easy to set up!

First of all this was my first time playing half-life and I have to say it is fun. Some people complain how much a pain in the neck Steam is, but it really isn't that hard to set up. You go to their website, click Get Steam Now, click Free Download(only do this if your computer is good enough)and thats pretty much all you have to do to set up an account. The only downside to this is that you have to have internet access, but that should not be a problem. Now about the game. It starts basically by introducing you to your surrondings. After that it' fun from there on in. Great storyline and non stop edge of your seat action,this game in a nutshell. Hope this helps.

Just the best

A scrutiny of Half-Life

First, to give credit where credit is due, Half-Life, being one of the originals to start the trend in Alien shooters, had an excellent plot by comparison to some of the other popular shooters. Likewise, it was an innovater of the true first-person shooter concept, there were literally no cutscenes where you the player were somehow capable of traveling outside your own body to look at stuff from different perspectives. Overall, the idea being, that such third-person cut-scenes detract from a little concept called role-playing. Not only was the plot interesting, but the very concept was fascinating to me as I'm something of a Sci-Fi fanatic. Yet, I can say honestly, that I would have been happier if the alien presence in the game simply hadn't been there and it was really all about trying to survive your own government, during a scientific disaster. What I can and will knock this game for is what I knock most PC original titles for. The programmers were lazy & cheap enough, not to include gamepad support. And frankly, this concept being thought of as acceptable or 'okay' by PC elitests is a testiment to the fact that they've lost touch with the very purpose of the PC itself: being a useful tool, which can make life easier. I firmly believe, the play control issues that result in all games that are for the PC and stick with the keyboard and mouse routine, would benefit greatly in terms of simplicity and enjoyability if the program and design section that supplies the PC with games, could be bothered, to allow for a more proper, and more efficent interface tool to be used. Further, I attribute this very issue, almost solitarily as the reason why behind the stats that proove, even though a PC is technically more graphics capable and can provide better sound quality, more people are willing to drop 600 dollars on a PSIII or other console rather than even bother with PC gaming - at all. And sadly, the PC-elitest snobbery that 'game-pad' is a bad word is to blame - as it simply enables the very platform they support, supposedly, to get pwnd in the market. Because while more capability should be a selling point of the PC, it's definitely not in this case, due directly to a lack of pride amongst it's game developers.

While this package contains all four games from valve, it is missing something important that were available from earlier half-life packages - a dedicated server and a map editor. This shouldn't present any problems for an average player, but it sure feels like a hadicap for die-hard TFC/CS fans who'd like to host their own servers and create their own maps

Also, most files (like maps etc) are zipped up into the propriatory .fgc files, which may become an issue if you want to install mods etc.
