Black Mesa was built and founded on the basis that Half-Life: Source didn't fully live up to the potential of a Source engine port of Half-Life. As such, Black Mesa was founded to fully reconstruct the Half-Life universe utilizing Source to its fullest potential in terms of art detail, level sizes and code features.

I can run Half Life 2 amazingly on my old Macbook Pro, I think it could work on whatever PC you're on?

Is there a torrent for it? I don't like downloading it direct because if my internet cuts out, it cancels the download.
There's a good comparison between the two here if anyone's interested http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU06wKaspUU

I ended up getting it from the Fileshack mirror.
So far so good, really enjoying it.
Some UK based product placement in there for sure - even seen a halfords bottle of car polish in Freemans locker

So do you think this will run on a 2 year old Samsung R730 then?
I have TFT screen, keyboard and mouse that I can use from my work setup.
