The History of Goldsrc Games 

G-Man does appear in Blue Shift in the opening tram ride, but never again. He's also in Decay in a similarly easy-to-miss appearance in the intro sequence.

The GoldSrc engine was way ahead of its time indeed, the fact that booba animation was implement for the Female Black Ops Assassins

There's something magical about Goldsrc. It can't be explained.

Actually the ammo dropping mechanic in TFC is surprisingly valuable. It doesn't just discard ammo, it drops ONLY the ammo you CANNOT use as your chosen class. This allows you to share ammunition with other players, and is EXTREMELY helpful to engineers as any class excluding the pyro does not use the engineer's energy ammo. Engineers also can use other ammunition types, such as shotgun shells and rockets, to reload their sentry guns, or to fill dispensers with.

Fun fact: You can literally use shotgun as Spy in TFC. Imagine a class specialized in stealth instant kill also got this weapon in their inventory.

I love how goldsrc and source feel like they have their own visual style that all games made in them share. Also the engines themselves feel like they have their own community that plays many of the games in the engine

Ah, Gunman Chronicles. I remember being impressed by the game cutscenes, and especially that Brontosaurus the first part of the game. Which is pretty impressive for Goldsrc. probably one of the best one in my book.

"Sorry Barney you're not important :(" That felt hard bro.

There's also a game called Tutus made in Goldsource, that was basically an educational program that taught people work safety. The thing that makes it interesting is that there's no builds of the game available online.

I had no idea they did a 007 game in goldsrc. Informative content, as always!

I believe that in Decay, there’s a way to swap between Gina and Colette, if you’re playing solo, which also apparently makes the game a lot harder, since they both don’t do anything when you’re not controlling them, so they’ll just let enemies kill them.

I remember this game called Firearms which was meant to be a multi-player military shooter, and it had these badass military war zone type maps, some of them you even started in a helo or a cargo plane and you had to paratroop drop into the map. But the best part is, you as a single soldier carried All the guns. Like over 50 guns in 8 or 9 different categories to choose from, and swap to in match, plus all the grenades and everything. Full ammo. It was awesome. Except I had (have) no friends so I would just run around and pretend and lay down ""suppressing fire"" to absolutely no one, but my 13 year old brain could still pretend things at the time so yeah. Anyway that was a fun gold source game

Day of Defeat still has a pretty active multiplayer community. I highly recommend people check it out - it’s such a great game

What's funny about the Gold Src engine now is that after more than 20 years, it's probably been long enough that someone might make a game using it, purely out of nostalgia (look at Ion Fury using a polished Build Engine). Though 2004, when Condition Zero (and Half-Life 2) came out, was around the time when the engine was old enough to be considered obsolete, but not old enough to be considered retro. I would definitely play a new game with a polished Gold Src engine, that's worth playing of course, haha.

It's worth noting that Ricochet is very highly reminiscent and resemblant of TRON, including the movies, comic books, TV series, and video games, such as TRON 2.0, which is an FPS game and is the absolute best and greatest TRON video game ever developed and published. It is a totally and deeply underrated classic game.

Cool fact: CS:O was very popular in Taiwan back in the day,it has micro transaction just like CS:GO but you can also buy new guns like Winchester 1887 from it. There are also new characters to choose (the girls you saw on the website) and a whole new zombie mode with it’s own story line and unique weapons But the publisher Gamania got a bad name from adding way too many micro transactions and gambling(like 0.01% to get what you want) so it kinda faded away in player’s memories

If I remember correctly, there is one part or scene in Half-Life: Blue Shift where you see G-Man riding on a tram or train between two platforms that you have to walk across by activating and lowering the draw bridge above a canal in order to cross and progress in the game.

The ambience and sound effects of original goldsrc is like ASMR for me. Those games bring me back to a time when I didn't have to pay any bills, and my biggest worry was not forgetting my memory card at my friend's house when everyone went over for Resident Evil parties

Please do a video about the history of the source engine ! (and maybe split it in 2 part)

This was so nostalgic, what a trip to memory lane! I find you very funny, being so monotone w/ the funny clips and great editing. Good job, you got a sub 🎉

"In both Blue Shift and Decay, the main characters of each game, Barney Calhoun and doctors Gina Cross and Colette Green, see the G-Man on one occasion near the beginning of each game, but he either doesn't seem to notice any of them, or he ignores them. This suggests that he either doesn't have the same interest in them that he has in Gordon Freeman and Adrian Shephard, or he was too busy."

Thank you so much for adding subtitles for the entire video! So appreciated.

4:08 There are two reasons you might want to discard ammo. One is that someone else on your team needs ammo, so they can pick it up (some classes didn't do much shooting in TFC, like the Scout). The other reason is that the Engineer's special grenade detonates all the ammo anyone in the radius is carrying. If you're not carrying any, it hardly does any damage at all. Thanks for coming to my old gamer TED talk.

Never stop making these type of videos man Love your content :D

Your videos are so laid back and entertaining i cant put into words how thankfull i am for you making them.Keep up the good job!

I really like this new type of content you're making, keep it up

I still remember those cafe internets that had those broken cracked goldsource game like deathmatch with opposing force weapons, the weird "the simpsons" counter strike skin mods, the cool and kinda broken Wanted mod, and the dragon ball z mod that still baffles me to this very day

fun fact: gman is in blue shift. *he's always watching all of you're move.*

About that "discarding ammo" from team fortress classic, you do it because you drop metal for your fellow engineers. The ammo count stays the same. A thing that tf2 doesn't have. Gunman chronicles is pretty much just Unreal

Not video related,but i just wanted to say that the humor in your videos is fantastic. All the random meme voices and the way you say jokes with the same calm tone is hillarious.

Legend back with his legendary content!

Really enjoyed this video 👍Well done

Subbed! Love videos on these older games even if i have never played them but they brought me back memories for some reason lol

I'm craving for more of your videos your editing is superb

ricochet looks like a really fun game, if it had a playerbase it would be incredible

Gunman chronicles is hella underrated

I thoroughly enjoyed this video, nicely done!

Finally some quality informative channel, earned a new sub.

If you’re going to talk about licensed source games, I recommend these. Perhaps you could focus on single player games for one video, and multiplayer for another. - Dark Messiah of Might and Magic (Single player) - Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines (Single player) - The Ship / Bloody Good Time (multiplayer) - No More Room in Hell (Single player / co-op) - Insurgency, and subsequently Day of Infamy (multiplayer) - Stanley Parable (Single player) - Pirates, Vikings, and Knights. (Multiplayer) - Fistful of Frags (multiplayer) - Dino D-Day (multiplayer) - Dystopia (multiplayer) There’s so much more I’ve played or heard of but these are the ones I remember the most.

Not Spanish is Turkish.

This channel is a type of thing i would sub

This guy's voice and edits doesn't get tired of me. I love watching this guy and never gets me bored

People who never experienced the golden age of HL1 mods have no idea what they missed. If you bought Half-Life in 1998, you didn't have to buy another game for the next 6 years. The mod community made just about game you could want, including single player campaigns that were as long as the original game. It was wild. If you can find a way to play They Hunger, Peaces Like Us, or Heart of Evil (the only HL mod endorsed by Satan's throbbing purple cock) you won't regret it.

That 9:12 horn alone earned you a sub

Nice job on this video, bro!

i think this is the best video you made so far

csol is basically CS1.6, but with A HEAP OF CRAZY ARSENAL, also you don't buy weapons in game like classic CS, instead you aquire guns and sets up loadouts before matches just like COD games

0:30 This is actually NOT GoldSrc, this is Half-Life: Source, in the Source engine.

Have to say, great video and also I really like the thumbnail for this one. I don't know why i just think its a very cool thumbnail.

I had fun which I didn't have since a long time. Thanks m8 :3

i'd be down for a source history video, sounds -fun- long also, random fact nobody asked for: the main dev behind cry of fear actually went on to be hired by Overkill Software, and eventually worked on the Goat Simulator DLC for a certain "Payment Date 2"

do source vid NOW

Great job on the video, I really liked it

Neat vid , now a part 2 for source games seems in order 👀

Counter strike Condition zero is my favourite game because it was the only one I had growing up. The expert level in that game was genuinely difficult and took me years to beat. Ahh old times. They pass so quickly.

Man I remember playing old gold source games with my friends in an old gaming arcade in 2014 to 2017. We played games like Vampire slayer, tfc, ricochet and deathmatch classic. Those days were incredible

The edits made me laugh so hard my neck hurts. 10/10 Also, thanks for the info and nostalgia!

Thank you for explaining a lot of my childhood mysteries!

Gina and Collete from HL: Decay, they are the scientist supposed to deliver the correct crystal to Gordon Freeman. But their crystal are flawed, which led to opening of portals randomly (mind you, in Half-Life Lore, they do this a lot of time already, and on Gordon Freeman first day, things went south) .

3:05 By that logic, even Half-Life (and all following entries using the same engine) is a mod for Half-Life since it lives in the "valve" game folder and the install dir only contains Goldsrc engine binaries.

I'm actually glad that you changed your content 🙂👌

Nice video, I would love to see something similar such as source story in the future

James Bond Nightfire was one of my favorite games back in the day. I had no idea it ran on GoldSrc… But it makes sense because it was an awesome game. Especially multiplayer.

I don't know why or how I ended up on this video or why I would watch 17:50 minute video on everything that I already know, but this video has let me know that TFC is still active during prime time. Thank you. Best 3 hours I've had this year just running around throwing shit at the other guys. At the time of writing this reply there was a full 2fort server and dustbowl A/D server in 16~20 players range and bunch of other bots server.

I dont know why you put english subtitles, but that is a great idea. For people like me who understand more english written than hear it, is a lot easy for me to watch your videos. And laugh.

I appreciate the subtitles. Helps me with my hard hearing

Out of all the games, besides the most well known ones made by Valve, Gunman Chronicles was the one that had potential to become something big. That game had lots of details, unique weapons, very interesting maps, fantastic level design and the story was actually kinda cool to say the least. Plus, it had multiplayer so you can't go wrong with that. Unfortunately there were some dev/license issues that stopped the game from getting more attention because if it was released on Steam, I bet it would have the same amount of players Day Of Defeat has. On the flip side, Cry Of Fear was the most polished GoldSrc game to be released. I haven't got the time to finish the game but by playing through it and its custom maps, the game is very well done. With that said, the games that never were licensed by GoldSrc but should have, were Afraid Of Monsters and Resident Evil Cold Blood. Awesome mods without a doubt.

When I was a kid I’d play Counter Strike Nexon Zombies (Nexon: Studio now) like it was my religion because I couldn’t afford any of the real Counter Strike games, I remember enjoying the weird campaign modes and zombies.

Thanks for this summary of wikipedia, appreciate your hard work and originality.

Amazing video, even tho i knew almost all of them it was still fun to watch

One game that was going to be made on GoldSrc that I have only ever seen mentioned once in either PC Gamer or PC Zone magazine back around 1999/2000, is Machiavellia or Machiavellian (one or the other). As far as I know it was never completed or released in any form, and it was set to be a standalone FPS based on the GoldSrc engine and made by, if I remember correctly, Maverick Developments, who also made Redemption and Wanted! This was possibly the first ever standalone non-Valve game to be made using the engine.

In case you are still curious about CSO, it's basically 1.6 with a lot of pay 2 win and some interesting mods like Zombie1, 2, 3, Escape, etc. Like the CS Nexon Studio one.

3 vids in and im already hooked to this guys sense of humor

thx for this video, it was realy interessing 😀

Ricochet advanced the Goldsrc engine by having multiple independent arenas per multiplayer game. I don’t quite remember, but I think it was set up kind of like a tournament, where the winners would be put in a different arena to battle each other.

H-history O-of G-goldSRC G-games R I D E R

Nice video Bro!

This is a second day of having sprained ankle, and I really enjoyed your video and finally found some time to ignore the pain

I played Gunman Chronicles before, back in my high school days. Friends and I played multiplayer at the cyber cafe. It was fun, the gimmick is that the guns can be repurposed. At least that was how I remembered it.

6:58 it’s called a mag not a clip

Great video. Me and some friends actually played deathmatch classic a few months ago and there were a few games going on. Somehow it still holds up. Definitly going to check out cry of fear when I have the chance. Also, if you ever do make a history of source video, I will buy you a burger.

Already subscribed your vids are awesome

5:08 top of the server browser we are noticed

Play cry of fear, god dammit, I am still here waiting for your playthrough

I've been looking for Gunman for 20 years now... and now i finally know the name of the game! Damn! I will have to thank you for that.

Finally. Someone with the same C.s. 1.6 skills like me. Thank you for your work on this, btw

7:17 I believe this is not only because of nostalgia, but because this game was insanely popular in latin american and other third world countries, like here in Brazil even in late 2023 the game is still very popular and active with a load of full Brazilian servers (and people roasting each other aswell xd), and i believe the same applies to spanish/russian speaking countries aswell

You called Turks Spanish in cs 1.6

me:my day is ruined lamwarp:*upload this video* the day is good again

Ur so underated bro i hope you will get 100k soon

I'm surprised you haven't done a video on Half-Life: The Trap! It's one of my all time favorite mods. I've got a full achievement walkthrough for it on my channel if you end up playing it.

Awesome video.

Nice video bro

13:57 unfortunately to my understanding after 8 years the Indonesian (probably Malaysian and Singaporean version too) were closed officially on 1 August 2019, 10.00 WIB. So many memories on CS Online. CSO you will be missed.

I had so much fun playing Ricochet with my friends at thwe cyber cafe through LAN. Since you could barely stand still in the game within the small platforms, the intensity stayed high. Too bad nobody is playing it anymore. But that's understandable.

Nice video! Cry of fear actually has a pretty damn good and pretty deep story. Def would recomend for someone looking for a good horror game story type experience for free on steam, even to this day. Nice story and lore and probably the best gameplay goldsrc can offer.

I'm glad to see someone talk about Nightfire, one of the most important videogames of my childhood. My brother and i had 2 friends thath had the game in PS2, and we had a multitap, so we played a lot the multiplayer for years. What a time...
