Hint: Secret box:
Enable the impulse 101 code. Once you are in the main room, go to the bathrooms and open your locker. Take out a powerful weapon or a crowbar and crouch down and start beating (or shooting) the box. After beating the box with a crowbar over 50 times, or shooting it with a laser or some other powerful weapon, it will break open. There will be a little live alien in the box. You cannot do anything to it except look at it.

Hint: Guard showdown:
Start a new game and before the train stops moving, enable the impulse 101 code. While the guard is trying to open the locked door, press [F6] to do a quick save. Get a weapon (pistol or crowbar recommended) ready. When he opens the door, wait for him to open the door on the other side of the room. Once that is open, shoot his foot. He will say something similar to "What do you want on your tombstone?", etc. and begin to shoot you. He will kill you if you do not kill him first. If you kill him, you will not get into trouble (and continue playing normally afterwards). Press [Esc] and load the game that you quick saved. Do the same thing, and he will say something different. At times, he will not attack. Do not do this with any other guard -- when you shoot them you will be fired for mishandling a firearm (even if you use a crowbar).

Hint: See Gordon Freeman:
When you just get out of the tram and the guard is having trouble opening the door, turn around. Eventually, another tram will pass by with Gordon Freeman inside it, which is the start of Half-Life.

Hint: Fun with spawning:
Enable cheat mode, then use the entities code to get a list of the creatures in the location you are currently in. Usually, when you try to spawn a creature, you have to use the noclip code to levitate in the air and spawn the creature nowhere near any objects. If a part of a spawned creature is spawned within a wall, ceiling, or another creature, the game crashes. However, if you enable the developer 0 code, the game continues even if a spawned creature is stuck, but the creature has yellow dots around it. Also, bind the spawn commands to unused keyboard keys; for example bind X "impulse 76" or bind y "give monster_scientist". The impluse 76 code works everywhere, and the hostile grunts created with it are easy to place where you want them; as they appear in front of you, rather than above. Now, enable the noclip code and fly around pressing the bound keys. Watch as Barney's Aliens and Grunts battle it out while Scientists run around being slaughtered.

Glitch: Flashlight:
The flashlight, on any level, does not always work. If yours does not, make your screen resolution larger. If this still has no effect, pause game play, turn it on, and continue that way. Do the same to turn it off.

Glitch: Crazy guard:
Start a new game, and when you enter the main room, go to the bathrooms. Look for a guard who is getting ready for work. Note where he is then quickly get your armor and helmet on and run to the nearest sink. The guard will start to approach your sink. When he is starting to get close, turn on the sink by pressing [Use] and move away so he can use it. While he washes, get directly behind him and start pressing [Use] about once every half second. He should be saying "Calhoun, I'm…", "Shouldn't you be on?", "Swing by later and…", etc. so he gets cut off every time. Soon, he will say"Ouch, Ooof, Arrgh, Ouch". Back away, the screen will turn black, and will say that you hurt or killed someone with a firearm, and will start over. What makes this interesting is that you have no gun when this happens.

Glitch: Play as Gordon Freeman:
Enable the /thirdperson code to change your screen into third person view. You will see the player as Gordon Freeman instead of Calhoun, Enable the /firstperson code to return to normal.

Glitch: Kill Dr. Rosenberg and keep playing:
After he says "I just want to get out of here," shoot him in the head and kill him. The message "Employee assumed to have perished..." will appear and the screen will turn black. When the elevator stops, the screen will light up again, but the message will remain on the screen for a few seconds. Play as long as desired in the lab, but do not go back up the elevator or kill Simmons or Walter.

Please select the first letter of the game's title below. If the word "The" appears at the start of a title, ignore it and search for the second word in the title:

| 0-9 | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M |

| N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z |
