So I recently made a clean install of Windows 10, and tried re-installing Half-Life 1 - I have Half-Life GOTY edition

The main menu loaded up fine (although the company logos were unskippable for some reason), I set up my controls and clicked New Game. But when I did, I was taken to a low-resolution view of my desktop instead of the game display. The game was running, I could hear the tramline announcer and the rest of the game sound, but absolutely no display. Attempting to Pause the game took my back to the menu as normal, but resuming would just continue to send me to the desktop.

I've tried using compatability mode for Windows 2000 and Windows XP - Service Pack 3, as it worked fine on those operating systems, but to no avail.

Anyone knows what can I do to make it work?

Are you using a Voodoo 1 or 2 card? and if so, did you connect the passthrough cable to it and your monitor to the Voodoo output?

If they're on Windows 10, they're likely not having any Voodoo installed in the first place.

Wow, somehow I missed that first line. 😵
