I haven't bought HL. It's my cousins CD but he doesn't miss it. Yet... I still remember the days when I played CS, DoD and now NS. I still play DoD though but NOT CS WHAT SO EVER!

EDIT: uranium I hope that doesn't work =/. Maybe not too smart to post things like that on <i>any</i> forum.

I got the HL GOTY edition shortly after finally purchasing a computer which would actually PLAY games made after 1995 <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo--> ... played through the SP, got hooked on TFC and played that forever.. tried CS, hated it ... played more TFC... tried DoD right when 2.0 came out.. played that a while... tried every mod in existence... got hooked on Desert Crisis for a while... tried NS... I don't really play any HL mods regularly anymore.
I bought the Half-Life Generation pack about one and a half years ago for £20. Worth every penny.
I didn't at the time know anything much about the Half-Life mod community (though I was aware of it's existence). It was only about a year ago that I started playing online (when I got broadband).
Knowing how good it is, though: I <i>would</i> have bought Half-Life just for NS.
