HL is cult classic

Half Life 1 is certainly not a "cult" classic.

Half Life 1 is certainly not a "cult" classic.

So, what is it then? Just classic? Ok.

[Voon]

I always thought cult classics would be like something that's a failure commercially or ignored by the public but gets it's own following and had critical reception soon (or later) after that. Something like STALKER: SoC .

Half-Life was very popular on release and was held up as one of the greatest FPSes in gaming

[Alex Bakke]

Yeah - You can have a cult video game, which is one that's not that great, but still retains a faithful fanbase despite its mediocrity, a good example might be Gotham City Imposters. A cult classic is a game that was panned/didn't do so well, but then in hindsight you get critics and commoners alike saying 'Actually this is pretty good' a few years down the line.

That's my understanding anyway.

Yes we are waiting for you Gordon,but in proper package!!!

Possibly related: HL2 is Steam's daily deal - 66% off for those 6 people that don't have it already.

Yeah, one of the admins on the Black Mesa forums posted about it. I thought I might have to search for a very old HL1 cd in my parents house to play this but just installing the Source SDK base 2007 is enough.
