Review Note:

Best way by far to play Half-Life. Runs much better at times than Xash 3D, better mod support, better textures (Not even the HD pack!)

Review Note:

I just made everything max. This game is from 1998 and the source version works entirely when using the Xash3D FWGS for Mac source port. It just works great ofc.
