Well the Dreamcast version was leaked. The HL2 alpha was stolen from Valve by a German hacker.

He started corresponding with Gabe Newell (Valve's main man) and he was eventually trapped that way. Gabe offered him a fake job at Valve so when he'd come he'd be arrested by FBI but the German government wouldn't allow it so they arrested him.

 

And no, it's not worth downloading it since it's highly illegal and it's just old...if you're going to download it illegaly might as well get the real version of the game. But if you are into FPS games, I urge you to buy it, it's awesome.

[Gryph]

Your processor and RAM are fine. The only thing that troubles me is the graphics processor...

hey grif i have the Half-Life+Blueshift disc for my dreamcast, ill take screenies/vids if you want, its very real, It runs perfectly on the DC too, There is only FPS problems very rarely and it seems randomly, like when the dreamcast has been on all day, if i reset the dreamcast it will usually work fine, its nothing serious though, its a drop to like 27FPS at the lowest, it runs average at about 45FPS i think, very smooth
