How to access the Half-Life 2 Legacy Editions

To access the Half-Life 2 Legacy Editions, click the links below:


Note 1: The Half-Life 2 Legacy Edition cannot be accessed from its original url since the Anniversary Edition resides there. To access it, you must opt in to the 'steam_legacy' branch of the game's beta participation program. To do this, right click the game, select 'Properties...' from the menu, then the 'Beta' tab and opt in to the 'steam_legacy' branch.

Note 2: Uninstalling these games from the Steam UI is not possible since they are unlisted. To uninstall properly you have to launch the steam executable from the command line using the command 'steam://uninstall/<appid>'.

For example, to uninstall Half-Life 2 Lost Coast the command would be:

steam steam://uninstall/340

Note 3: Since these games are unlisted are also not officially maintained, therefore, you may come accross bugs or broken stuff.

Thank you and have fun! :)
