I believe I have indirectly mentioned how I got into gaming in a number of other articles here on PP, but I thought it might be nice if I heard how you did.

To do that it only seemed fair that I share first. So, with that in mind, here is my story….

The 100 Summer Days of Nostalgia event has generated so many ideas for mod reports, podcasts and general articles. One of them, which has certainly been done before, but fits so well with the theme of the event is Where are they now?

I have emailed a few people and Petrick, a PP reader and reviewer, has said he has tried contacting a few people too, but I thought a proper post on the site would be a good idea.

Starting with a black sequence, it’s clear you were in some medical distress.

Fortunately, the HEV did what it was supposed to do: protect and heal you.

Waking up being guarded by Assassins, seems the least of your troubles.

Pick up the crooked crowbar, go about your usual day: creating mayhem and destruction!

This is the beta release of an unfinished mod. Since this will never be finished, Adam gave permission for it to be released.

There are only two maps and the second one is just two small areas.

My original post had many more screenshots, including outdoor areas with trains, but these are absent from the released files.

A set of maps, including a training room, which lead you through a variety of locations.

You need to reach the bomb – I don’t know if you must disarm it or set it off.

Anyway, things don’t end well – do they ever?

Waking up in a Combine prison laboratory your only choice is to take the HEV and cause as much trouble for the Combine as possible.

Of course, they won’t like it! So expect some opposition.

Get as far away as possible, as quickly as possible.

You start in what looks like Black Mesa but things get a little strange after that.

Your objective is to stay alive and reach the Hall of Mirrors doorway seen in the last screenshot.

Good luck

Finding yourself within the catacombs you decide to look for a way out (As if you had any other choice!)

The way is perilous and Indiana Jones could be around the next corner!

Don’t be afraid of the dark corners, only your fear limits you.

“The story is based on the assumption that there might be several secret entrances to the Black Mesa Facility. You are a complete stranger to this as you wander around trying to find help after a car accident (this is at the same time as Gordon Freeman tries to escape from the complex). Unfortunately you run up against some marines sent to guard one of these entrances. It seems that the only way to get out of this terrible mess is to fight the grunts…..”
