Valve has originally ported their original Half-Life title to Linux.
For those owners of the original Half-Life, it's time to fire-up Steam. Valve today released a native Linux port of the original Half-Life game. Yes, the game originally released in 1998.
If you didn't buy the game a decade ago, Valve still sells Half-Life on Steam for a price of $9.99. The Linux port of this game, which is powered by the "GoldSrc" engine (a heavily-modified Quake engine), is currently considered beta.
As part of the title’s 25th anniversary, that long-established glitch has now been resolved.
Been replaying this on my steam deck now that it's been updated with modern controls and is now fully verified. Have to say I'm surprised to see how well it holds up. Was a great game in 1998 and it's still a great game 25 years on.
The textures in Half-Life were seemingly only produced by a single person, as confirmed in a new in-depth documentary about the game.
