ToxyCola released Half-Life 64, an unofficial Nintendo 64 port of the classic FPS (v1.1, open-sourced on GitHub).
- Includes all 103 maps through the ending; runs on real N64 hardware with an Expansion Pak
- Player physics use Valve's unmodified SDK code (pmshared) compiled for the VR4300 CPU, preserving original movement feel
- A new rendering engine was built for the N64, with map lighting baked into vertex colors to fit the original CD-ROM game into a 63MB ROM
- Ships with HL64Builder.exe to build the ROM from your own Steam copy
