    Help: Can't get Half-Life to run

    Bough the Half-Life Anthology pack today (Half-Life, Half-Life: Opposing Force, Half-Life: Blue Shift, Team Fortress Classic). First went through a little ordeal with that POS intrusive Steam programma (thinks back fondly to the good ol' DOS days) and now I'm finding out Half-Life simply... will... not... run.
    Basically, when I start the program I get some sort of intro screen (with a drawing ofthe main character and the Half Life logo) and then nothing happens. The CPU sputters on for several seconds but afterwards the program simply doesn't respond any more. It seems like I can get Blue Shift to run properly (but I won't play it because I want to go about it in the chronological way) so I have no idea what could be wrong.

              System specifics: Dell Inspiron 9100 Intel P4 3.20 Ghz 1024MB RAM ATI Mobility Radeon 9800 256MB

              Wish I could try to test it on my other (old and not networked) computer but it won't read the CD and it'd probably be useless to try anyway since the game needs internet connection to register and other such crap.

                  WHY IS ALL OF FINLAND CRAZY ABOUT THIS

                  IT'S NOT FUNNY




                  Anyway, Colon: I guess you're doing this for the nostalgia, so I suggest finding a version that could run better. A donkey might carry it to you, or you could find a violet stream of bits at the place where the ships of the plunderers of other ships dock.

                        I must say I'm impressed. I never even figured you had half a life, Colon.

                          Basically, this guy here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hix25TdoBFA - the guy in the white shirt - was going to achieve a record on fastest drinking of 1.5 litres of coca-cola. It turns out, however, that he was used to drinking pretty stale coke, and was surprised by the bite (acidity) of the drink. End result, for the past... it's a month since this came out, but it's felt like a year that everyone on IRC has been referring to this all the time as if it were the funniest thing ever .
