Shack PSA: Half-Life 1 on Steam for 98 Cents
by Blake Ellison, Nov 19, 2008 1:57pm PSTIn honor of the tenth anniversary of the original Half-Life (PC), developer Valve has put the game on sale on its Steam digital distribution service for 98 cents, a nod to its 1998 release.
The oft-delayed Half-Life was Valve's first release and went on to receive countless Game of the Year awards and high-ranking spots in several publications' "best games of all time" lists. The studio has followed up the adventures of silent protagonist Gordon Freeman with a sequel and two episodic mini-sequels, with Episode Three on the way.
At 98 cents, it's an affordable bit of gaming history--even for non-gamers--but the deal won't last long. The shooter returns to its usual $9.99 price point at 12:00 noon PST on Friday, November 21.
Shacknews readers who haven't played the game are encouraged to give it a whirl before the real Gordon Freeman's antics at the Large Hadron Collider get us all killed.
Shacknews thanks user Leviathan41 for the tip.

This was the most important game in my life. After I completed it in like 1998/1999 I stupidly gave my cd key to someone else in like 2001, so I'm glad the game is back in my collection again. I shall be playing through again at some point :)
