About this Mod
Half-Life Menu
This mod replaces the title screen with the one from Half-Life 1's "steam-legacy" build and replaces the background on all menus that have the panorama with the stretched image of Gordon Freeman. It also replaces the loading and resource reload screens with ones from Half-Life 1 (does not work on forge!)
Old v2.1 builds have been removed due to barely working (ex. missing textures on all versions besides forge) and being ugly
