Portal: Prelude
Portal mod | Released Oct 8, 2008
Portal: Prelude, as its name states it, is an unofficial prequel to the game Portal. Its story revolves around the pre-GlaDOS epoch, even before she was plugged in. At this time, test subjects were monitored by real Aperture Science employees, whose work was tedious, lengthy and repetitive. This is why they decided to build a great artificial intelligence that could both replace them in these difficult tasks, and also take responsibility for many other tasks within the complex and compete with Black Mesa's superiority. All employees of the Aperture Science complex are now eagerly awaiting GlaDOS. Maybe even a little too eagerly, as the upcoming events will tell... This game is totally free. It offers a bit more gameplay hours than the original Portal, with 8 chapters, 19 test chambers, 48 challenges, 6 advanced maps, a brand new storyline and more than 400 lines of english speech with dozens of subtitles translations.
Portal: Prelude 1.1.5 (complete installer)
Description
This new version is shipped with more than 115 bug fixes, improvements and additions (since 1.0.0). We know everything's still not perfect, but we believe we put enough work in this mod and thus, this version should be considered final (except if something really bad happens).

Actually there was i played through it and there was cake :P
There was a cake but GlaDos wasnt gonna give it 2 u,,
or
The cake wasnt a lie, but the escapees though so..
Noooo. The cake was a lie, because GLaDOS said that everyone will get cake, but what they got, was death.
dude the cake is not a lie. its called no-clip.
The previous test subjects got baked, and then there was cake. in addition to dirt and swedish fish, the cake has Cave Johnson in it.

Downloading!
Damn, I really wanted to play this but with my internet connection this will take a lot of time =\
Isn't their as possibility of putting it in a .rar file in the future?
They did, check it out!
No ModDB mirror?
how do you find the file to play it I downloaded it for like 1 hour now i cant find where to play it please help mod db.
First, you must go to where you downloaded it to and then use that to install the game. Then, Steam must be restarted(or just started, if it wasn't running when you installed Portal Prelude), and then it will be in the games list of Steam.
put the download under steam/steamapps/sourcemods then it will be in your steam game list as a third party mod :D
that's right, a third party mod!!
It's an executable. You run it.
it must of took a long time to upload a file THAT big XD
sorry false alarm :"
installer at 1 percent...lol
ME TOO... :(
This Prelude version looks good :o)
I'm gonna check this out ^^
hi guys is there out a tutorial to install this ?
Thanks
Uh the file is actually an installation wizard so just follow the steps that it asks for.
And you must put the files in the map ''sourcemods''
uhh you mean folder? lol
Will it replace my Portal Files if I use the installer? Or am I safe if I don't back up the Portal Files?
No, just install into the folder sourcemods, Restart Steam, and there you go the mod should be in your games library on steam.
GODLIKE!
mmm carrots
Hmmm >downloaded >installed but for some reason steam doesn't recognize this as a game. Anyone got any ideas? I really want to play this game.
are you sure you place it in the right folder? Do you have the orange box?
Cool mod and i like it ^^
800mb, wtfbbqhax!! xD
Maybe dl this when I'm sleeping.
This mod is excellent, only thing I would change is the voice acting. Other than that it was fun as hell to play!
this mod is awesome!! thanks to upload!
792 MBs? Must be a basket of awesome!
It surely is.
