You can also add "-dev -toconsole" before "+skill X" if you want to use cheat codes. Hit OK and you're all set.

*Story*

This story takes place after the events in Half-Life. You are Gordon Freeman. After you defeated the Nihilanth and ended the alien invasion of Earth, you're transported to another place where you finally meet the Administrator of the Black Mesa Research Facility. He congratulates you on a job well done, and offers you a job. He doesn't say what the job is, just that if you refuse you'll die. The overconfident administrator believes that after being stripped of your weapons, and also after the recent battle in Xen, you no longer have the strength or the desire to fight, so he didn't bring along a bodyguard. Big mistake. You feel that the Administrator is partially or totally responsible for the accident, and probably is also the one who gave the orders for the military cleanup of Black Mesa. You remember all of the lives lost because of him. It would be better to die than to work for this monster. You pretend to accept his offer, so you walk over to the portal and while pretending to enter it, you knock the administrator unconscious with a quick blow to the head. You search him, and discover a small device in his suit that controls the portals. You then open up a new portal and put the administrator into it. It sends him to the refuge of what's left of Xen's forces, the same place he would have sent you if you refused his offer. The administrator wakes up to see that he's surrounded by alien grunts. He frantically searches for his device, but doesn't find it. As the portal slowly closes, you hear the laughter of alien grunts and the administrator giving out a blood-curdling scream. Finally, justice is served.

You then open up a portal to earth, where you hope to return home and get some well-deserved rest. You take along his briefcase, which may contain some useful material. Unfortunately, the government had witnessed the administrator's death through a tiny camera placed on the train. They then send out a military special forces unit to find and kill you to prevent you from telling your story to the world. Meanwhile, you and seven other survivors from the Black Mesa research facility, five scientists and two security guards, take refuge in an old, small, underground complex located in Black Mesa. You and your comrades figure Black Mesa is the last place the military would look for you. A few days after your return to Earth, the special forces unit captures a scientist, who knows your location, and managed to "persuade" him to tell them the location of the complex. Shortly afterwards, they assault the complex and begin eliminating its inhabitants. You wake up with the sound of gunfire and the screaming of your comrades. With your few days of rest, you have regained your strength and are ready for more action.

*Goal*

Your goal is to survive and find a way to escape the complex. Good Luck.

*Tips*

The grunts that don't wear helmets are more susceptible to head shots.

The two soda vending machines in the cafeteria work, you can get health from the soda cans.

The special forces unit booby-trapped certain appliances in the kitchen, be careful when using them.

*Hints*

A HEV suit and battery is located in the wardrobe in the bunkroom.

A shotgun is located on top of the toilet in the bathroom.

A .357 magnum is located on top of the lone white computer in the computer room, you can use the crate in the room to reach it.

The laundry room door is unusable, to get in there use the duct located in the darkened hallway near the cafeteria.
