This is an Iso Image of the Half-Life Alpha dated September 4th, 1997. It includes a playable Alpha and Documents about Valve and the Game. I highly recommend looking at the cfg's because some of the key bindings are odd.
NOTE: To get this to work, you have to go through these steps:
1. Copy the "Half-Life" folder to your hard drive
2. Delete the "opengl32.dll" file
3. Execute the "Half-Life GL" batch file
4. Have fun!

I Hope my Voodoo FX will be compatible.
The panther eye should have been used in Half Life. It was so cool in Azure Sheep.
I have a problem with changing resolution. Help, plz? xD
Open Half-Life GL.bat and edit last line. Insert any supported width you want instead of 640 (800, 1024, 1152 etc). -bpp 32 for 32-bit mode.
it also takes height param!
enginegl +map techdemo +exec wasd.cfg -window -width 1280 -height 720
or
enginegl +map techdemo +exec wasd.cfg -bpp 32 -width 1280 -height 720
optional wasd.cfg: Pastebin.com
Right click Half-Life GL.bat, click edit and here we go. :D Thx for help :]
How you get this working?
There's always a error message, saying graphic driver is missing :/
Read the instructions, did you deleted the opengl32.dll and did you launch it trought halflifegl?
Oh thank you :)
Haven't seen the "read more" button ^^
Now it's working ... it comes with a nice alpha version of stalkyard.
use "map c1a1" in console to start!
double post
I ♥ U
well shucks
well, it doesn't get any more real than this. Great find!!
I see some karma rapers are still going around here.
TRULY GLORIOUS.
will this work on my 486 *troll face*
Didn't play the whole thing, but it's an alpha, so it's little unstable and lacking some functionality. Unless you run it in software mode I believe, there's no hud. I couldn't find out what the interaction key is. The Panther doesn't have any AI. The Scientists and Barney don't have any phrases. The headcrabs kill in one hit. A lot of the maps are basically the same as the final game, just slightly different and not as refined. It's interesting, but nothing to get too excited about. I would like if they remade this as a HL1 mod, making it more playable.
Press - on your keyboard if you want the health bar to appear, keep pressing if you want to make the entire HUD visible. If you want to remove parts of the HUD press = on your keyboard. I hope this helps.
it crashes everytime, how i do to play it in software mode??
set the desktop to 16 bit
thank you, it worked!
I keep looking up any way to fix this?
I don't know how I fixed it, I just hooked a comtroller in and it stopped.
FREEZE!
how does this even work? when i open the zip file there are 2 files. what do i do with them?
extract them onto your desktop then open the cue file with daemon tools or daemon tools lite then pull out the folder named "Alpha"
All that does is open the music track
Lol.
wait why isnt this working? It's a rar file when downloaded and the are only 2 files in that? a .bin file and a .cue?... don't worry I got it!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW ITS HERE :D
all i got was 2 files one us .CUE and .BIN. what do i do with them?
Is it possible to play this in multiplayer mode?
it wont let me delete the OpenGL32.Dll there is no optin in listeing when i left click it
select OpenGL32.Dll then press Del and Enter on Keyboard, or just Shift + Del and enter.
Or simply, Rename it to something
Copy your folder to your harddrive. Then delete it from there.
ok its working but now how to set the res. where is the config file?
Edit the command line in Half-Life GL.bat (open it with Notepad and set -width parameter to your desktop res, -height parameter should work too).
Things that are bad about this: Some maps are missing or not included, save function crashes the game. Too bad but I guess I should consider myself lucky to see the day that Half-Life Alpha is found.
This is only a techdemo. All the singleplayer maps in this version were cut to be used as a demo. For example: Go to c1a1a and noclip through the door in this video Youtube.com (0:55) After that the game will crash, we only need to wait until an earlier alpha gets leaked.
I want the alpha where the MP5 had no hands, and was floating by Gordon's levitation powers.
So there's a tiny thing that's bothering me. If I remove the Opengl32.dll file, I get a problem where all the decals flash, and it really hurts to look at. The only way to fix it is to run at 800x600 with opengl32.dll still in (Can't run any higher with the opengl dll still in there) and it fixes the problem. So I either run the game at a high resolution and have flashing decals, or I run the game at a low resolution, and for some reason, get FPS issues. (For some reason in the Half-Life Alpha, the lower the resolution, the lower the framerate)
That and I don't know how to run it in software mode. Someone said switch your desktop to 16 bit but that didn't do **** :v
What is the use key?
b.
Nice man!
How can I fix this so it has the green weapon switch HUD and bullets that shoot out of the MP5?
