Video of original Half Life alpha footage surfaces

Half Life was simply an outstanding title when it was released back in 1998 and it put Valve firmly on the map. A video from 1997 has surfaced of some early alpha footage of the game and demonstrates some of the game’s features such as lighting, models, flocking and more.

Looking back on this old footage and screenhots  Half Life does look more dated than I thought it would, but we have to remember that back then this was cutting edge stuff. How things have moved on.
