Same. Many fond memories of HL1 and playing Counterstrike over dial up. HL1 drew me in in a way that Unreal never did... it was hyped beyond belief and was technically incredible, but the game itself felt flat. Half-Life on the other hand... incredible. Even by the time HL2 rolled around I wasn't playing FPSes so much. I played and enjoyed it, but the experience doesn't compare to HL1.
