This game was almost like the harbinger of Counter-Strike, it was his original project and took him about a year to make. □ Hope some of it brings you back like it does me! Enjoy.Ī Vietnamese-Canadian computer game developer by the name of Minh “ Gooseman” Le‘s first mod was for the original Quake and went by the name of Navy SEALs ( 1997). and I plan on covering that history in this chronicle ( not my history, the game’s). I pretty much lived in those internet cafes from then on and as they say: “the rest is history”. One of my friends invited me to play Counter-Strike one day and I was really blown away, I had honestly never experienced competition quite like that through a video game. I was living in Kuching, Malaysia at the time and had many friends from school that would regularly hit up internet cafes and compete against one another. This was beta version 1.1 in which they added burst fire to the Glock 18 as well as the classic cs_assault and cs_desert maps, before “bunny hopping” was around (if I recall correctly). I don’t remember the exact date of when I first played it but I believe it was somewhere from the 27th of June ( at the earliest) to the 20th of July ( at the latest). I turned 9 years old just 12 days before the first beta for CS was released on the 19th of June, 1999 ( beta 1.0). Today, I still find myself very much fascinated with Counter-Strike’s past and evolution, most likely because of the nostalgic value: it really brings me back. I have so many memories of playing this game from so many different points in my life. Video games we’re a huge part of my life as a kid/teenager, they still are. The original Counter-Strike is one of my favorite games of all-time.
