Honestly a shame that it took this long for Uplink to be readily accessible on Steam. This 20-minute slice perfectly encapsulates everything good (and bad!) about the original Half-Life, but as a kid who dug through Cuttng Room Floor pages looking at all the unused content (Hello, Mr. Friendly), I'm just happy that this is readily accessible to more people. By 1999 you didn't have to "sell" Half-Life to people anymore, so its even crazier this goes as hard as it does. Now give us that E3 Half-Life 2 tech demo so I can be like those guys who oogled at the barrel physics.
