Free Halflife, Anyone?


85 views

I was at Goodwill with some friends perusing for some esoteric junk: old video games, machines, whatever catches my interest. Friends bought some useless things, I purchased a copy of the original Warcraft for $3, and a copy of Halflife: Blue Shift for $3. Considering I don’t own the original Halflife, it would be hard to play this, but I purchased it anyway because these are bound to get rarer and rarer, same for the Warcraft.

Now, since I’ve got Steam and a bunch of newer games on there, I figured I’d try my luck and pop the key in there. “Perhaps it’ll let me play it w/o the original,” I thought to myself. I put the key in and it sat there “activating” for a bit. To my pleasant surprise, it then said that it was activated.

Upon closer inspection of the message, I discovered that “my activation of the Halflife Premium Pack was successful”! This means that for the $3 price of a used copy of Blue Shift, I recieved:

  1. Half-Life - $9.95
  2. Half-Life: Blue Shift - $9.95
  3. Opposing Force - $9.95
  4. Ricochet - $9.95
  5. Team Fortress Classic - $9.95
  6. Deathmatch Classic - $9.95
  7. Counter-Strike - $9.95
  8. Day of Defeat - $9.95

A total of about $80 worth of games… All of this for $3, from Goodwill. Thanks to Valve and Goodwill for making this possible!
