Playing the original Half-Life is like a formative gaming memory for me... It had been such a massive leap from your DOOM 2s and Dukes Nukem. I was super young though, so I don't know how much I cared about the narrative.
HL2, on the other hand...Now that I remember vividly. I remember having to use five CDs to install it because Steam had literally just been invented (for HL2). Having to create a Steam account and log into a service to play a game was so foreign at the time lol...
Might be time to re-play.
