Half-Life
Best for Half-Life fans interested in the Xash3D browser-engine route.
Desktop is the editorial recommendation when compatibility is unresolved. Device support could not be established during the recent launch check. This does not mean your device is unsupported.

What does Players mean?
Players is a popularity-based editorial proxy, not live online players and not measured concurrency. Each entry uses its own recorded popularity evidence: observed GitHub stars or September 2026 Wikipedia pageviews for the original game. The two Q42 puzzles use their developer’s pageviews; projects for the same original game may share a value. We calculate round(sqrt(heat)); the result is neither active users nor unique players. Rounded GitHub displays are retained as observed. Sources and capture dates are available on each game’s detail page. Desktop is the default editorial recommendation when device support is unresolved; positive Mobile and Mobile + Desktop documentation is retained. No new physical-device gameplay test is implied.
Is Half-Life for you?
It points toward Black Mesa-style combat, exploration and puzzles, but the captured engine page is less ready-to-start than WebXash’s listed demos.
What this browser project includes
Half-Life follows Gordon Freeman through the Black Mesa research facility after an experiment goes wrong. Its appeal is the mix of first-person combat, exploration and environmental puzzles. The shared Pixelsuft address identifies an Xash3D browser-engine port; it should not be assumed to provide every campaign asset or a fully configured game just because the engine page opens.

The captured page exposes engine and memory settings, not a complete setup guide. Try the separate WebXash entry if you want an explicitly listed demo.
How to open this project
On the project site
Use Play to open the project’s own launcher in a new tab, then follow the visible start or data-import instructions. No gameplay completion is asserted.
What to try instead
- Half-Life & CS 1.6 WebXash — Use WebXash if you want explicitly listed demo choices rather than engine settings.
- Diablo — Choose a different classic demo with a clearly stated full-game file requirement.
