Half Life 1 has popped up on the Steam CDR and several people have already tested it and got it to work! Pretty big news since it still is such a huge game and Valve's first game!So it looks like the next Valve title to grace Linux will be the original Half-Life I didn't see that one coming at all! I do have pretty good memories of the game and loved it!
This is not an official release it seems it's in Beta at the moment.
An old unofficial trailer:
It seems I don't actually own the game on my current Steam account (it's on my really old original account i lost all info for a long time ago
) so i won't be able to play test, but i will probably buy it again thanks to this!Counter Strike next please Valve!

Wow, awesome! I just opened my Linux client, searched for Half-Life, and it let me buy and install it. Just some information: The game wouldn't run until I updated my Steam client to the latest version. Quote me |

cstrike.so and bshift.so are in the files, so they are already compiling on Linux at the least. Quote me |

If you opt in the beta test in the Counter Strike properties, you'll be able to install Counter Strike 1 point fucking 6 on Linux. Natively. Pretty much what I've been waiting for for literally 6 years. Quote me |

ha, that made me dig up the old CD and enter the code, never did that for half life 1, back when it was released I did not see the reason as steam was just for online stuff and having a crrrrr-beeep-crrrr modem that was way to expensive. old code did work fine just now  Quote me |
