<div class="IPBDescription">Back in my day....</div>I am looking to track down some old mods to first off see if they will run under steam and then if so, maybe have a weekend of fun playing around in them all. I am shooting for old HL1 mods that are fairly simple and quirky but fun. A few I have so far:
- Buzzy Bots
- Runaway Train (king of the hill but the hill is a moving train)
- Snow Wars
- Bumpercars
Ones I can't find downloads for and would love some help:
- Box Wars
- ArcHL
- Hyperpuck
- Turbo (a snark racing mod made by randomnine)
- rocket crowbar (good call Liku)
And if you know any more, shoot. Try and keep them in the same ballpark (ie: no HL2 stuff). And I will be throwing these up once I have them, in the off chance anyone else wants them easily.

I might have an old installer lurking around. I will look for it, but cannot promise the most recent version.
Edit: You might want to add Wizard Wars to the wars <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
Super fun though.

Isn't there an Onos/Marine model for BumperCars that someone 'round here made?
I used to play all of them except for arcHL and hyperpuck (never heard of them)
Did anyone play Half-Life 2: Jaykin' Bacon: Source? (really a half life 1 mod, not a half life 2 one) That was the most fun "fun" mod I ever played simply because it blantantly ripped off every other mod. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />
Edit: OPEN SOURCE JAILBREAK :!OOOO
"Capture the team"! Killed players respawn in the other team's jail with only a crowbar. With enough players in the jail, they can attempt to escape through a vent or something so the other team has to guard the prisoners and make sure they don't hit the release button. Capture a whole team and they are all executed (different maps have different execution methods ^______^
Edit2: Science and Industry!
Capture the rival corporation's scientists and sabotage their equipment to stay ahead of the enemy. Players vote on the next piece of equipment/technology/weapon to research. Fun!
Edit3: Canned Tuna!
Do not remember much at all! Only had 5 weapons and no maps. But was fun.
Edit4: Existence
As much of a rip off of Matrix 1 as they could get away with without Fox suing them. Only had 1 map which was rescuing "Dr. White" (morpheus) from Neurotek headquarters. You can use the phone lines to travel around the map. :O

Yes and it was included with the game. I'm not sure who made it though.
We need a jailbreak planned for next weekend, i must haeb it
I've since lost the case for it, so no name.

Gunman Chronicles?
uses hl1 engine, thus mod.
Gunman Chronicles was futuristic/western wasn't it?
Yup, but only mod that was sold that sort of fits the description albeit barely.
Battle of the Millennium!
So HL isn't even a game, huh? It's just a mod of Quake.
Its extremely complicated premise is you hunt down and kill HL scientists. You get a big hammer and a chainsaw, plus the HL crowbar, pistol and shotgun. Some of the levels include extra traps for you to use to squish or otherwise dispose of the scientists.
I just loaded it up now on Steam and it seems to work fine, you'll probably need to grab it from <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/31315585/shunt12.exe" target="_blank">Rapidshare</a> or somewhere similar.

You're thinking of 'Wanted!'.
I've tried a couple downloads, and so far <a href="http://files.filefront.com/Wanted+v2+Mod/;3636239;/fileinfo.html" target="_blank">this</a> is the first to work right with steam. If someone has a better link, please post. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
I'm pretty sure <a href="http://files.filefront.com/Rocket+Crowbar+Version+20+Beta/;1736629;/fileinfo.html" target="_blank">this</a> is the newest version of the original RC. <a href="http://rcrowbar.com/" target="_blank">http://rcrowbar.com/</a> has a remake done by Rukia, but I've never tried it.
'<a href="http://mods.moddb.com/389/grenades-snarks-teleporters/" target="_blank">Grenades, Snarks, and Teleporters</a>' (GST) was really crashy, but is fun to mess around with on a LAN. Just don't use the 'finger of dewm' on players and it's bearable, though.
I also remember liking <a href="http://mods.moddb.com/511/vampire-slayer/" target="_blank">VampireSlayer</a> a lot.
Oh, and I second 'Scientist Hunt' as great mindless fun. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
[edit]I just found a copy of archl lying around and uploaded it <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?atjbbdmvkbm" target="_blank">here</a>.

Science and Industry was the mod I played the most, besides Vampire Slayer. But then i discovered NS... S&I was the mod who learned me how to bunny jump
While S&I is great fun, it is prolly too deep to match Comprox' request. Same goes most likely for Wizard Wars and PVK.
I used to know of an old RPG mod called MasterSword, they released a steam variant lately, but it was okay.
(Quest was supposed to come out.)
scientist hunt was so awesome. "Stop attacking! He's a friend!" my GF and I still quote the scientists all the time thanks to that mod...
I know we're supposed to be talking about HL1 mods, but anyone remember what the RPG mod for quake 1 was called? it was so awesome at the time. I would say it was at least better than Dark Messiah of Might and Magic =p I remember there was a pirate ship level, and i was really impressed at how they fudged the view of a distant landscape through the ship's portholes, moving with the simulated motion of the ship... seemed so uber considering it was still the mid-90's.
especially shrinking some one to 5 inches and stepping on them.
Is available as separate DL in steam.
So it is not lost.
Thus said: THE PIT ^^
I am pretty serious. If you invert the scoring system (Push other in the pit and avoid falling down yourself) then its some great quick fun, that will last a good 10 minutes before it becomes stall.
