Yes, we've got direct feed capture of the proceedings, but on top of that we also filmed the monitor itself, to give some idea of how these classic games actualy looked on the display technology of the time. Just how well did the top titles of yesteryear run on what was high-end PC hardware way back in 1999?Īcross this special DF Retro Let's Play, we'll be running Windows 98 on original hardware, installing games from original, physical CDs (remember those installer dialogues?) and seeing just how performant two of the most powerful 3D accelerators of the era actually were - the classic 3DFX Voodoo 2 and underdog Nvidia's Riva TNT2 Pro. Still, it’s at least an alternative way via which non-VR gamers can at least run this latest Half-Life game.Eurogamer celebrates its 20th birthday this week - an anniversary that happily coincides with Digital Foundry Retro creator John Linneman taking possession of a PC of the same vintage, swiftly followed by the acquisition of an appropriate CRT display.

And today, we are happy to report that the modder has released a new version that lets you complete the entire game.įrom what we know so far, this is the first mod (driver) that allows to fully complete the game.

Created by modder ‘r57zone’, this non-VR mod for Half-Life: Alyx had a lot of potential. Earlier this month, we informed you about a mod for Half-Life: Alyx that made the gameplay playable on keyboard and mouse.
