Valve wanted to tease the hell out of me and they did a great job.Īs the main description says, the facility is not in the best of condition and there are at least two times when people knock on doors. I’m pretty sure I was frustrated that I couldn’t stop and stare for a while, but that was the point. Like most, I ran around the tram trying to get the best view of everything. Before playing HL, the only other game I had completed was Unreal and the beginning of that was pretty good too. The woman’s voice and the setting had me hocked even before the first level load. It’s quite possible that this was my very first introduction to the game as I don’t remember if I played the Hazard Course first or not. I do remember being absolutely amazed by the whole thing. Since my PC is so slow I decoded the time I took to leave the game, search and come back just wasn’t worth it. My initial reaction was that it was faster than I remember, so fast in fact, I paused it and considered looking for a console command to slow it down.

I’ve started Black Mesa Inbound a few times since I first played Half-Life, just to get some screenshots, but this is the first time I “played” it all the way through. The Replay Experience Experiment aka TREE.Half-Life: Black Mesa Inbound | RTSL Menu
