A few years ago I bought a few Windows XP PCs and I've been using them to play classic games and one of the main games I play is Half-life. 

The nostalgia from the WON menu hit me like a ton of bricks when I first booted it up. I remember playing HL1 for the first time on New Years Eve 1999/2000. I was 10 at the time. There was a South Park marathon on TV at the same time so I watched that while my dad and uncle installed HL1 from an old HP CD-R.

I've been playing through a shit load of mods and maps. I've been screenshotting a whole lot and I will use these screenshots on a website I'm making. I had a geocities page back in the day (that I can no longer find) where I would put different game screenshots that I found. I want to re-create that nostalgia too so I'm building a 90s cheesy, sorta-geocities style, but useable with no annoying music etc, site for me to:

a) Link to maps and mods for HL1 WON.
b) Write reviews for HL1 maps and mods after I play them on my XP machine
c) Host screenshots I take in-game just like I did back when I was 10 or 11

I'll chuck the link on this site once it's up but honestly I don't expect anyone to use it. I just like writing and making stuff so it's a bit of fun for me. The useful aspect would be the links to mods and maps that may be difficult to find now.
