Long, long before we could be earning millions of dollars playing games full-time, we were skipping class and taking off our school uniforms to enter LAN shops and play the OG multiplayer first-person shooter, Counter-Strike.
Though the kids of today might be more familiar with the modern esports-oriented Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, we had a helluva time with its earliest iteration — a home-brewed modification of the sci-fi shooter classic, Half-Life.
This, young ‘uns, is referred to as Counter-Strike 1.6, the game that launched hundreds of LAN shops across the island, not to mention increase the rates of student truancy here.
Though the game was still in its early days then, anyone with the know-how and programme could make their own Counter-Strike maps for players to brawl in. Enter cs_hdb, a custom map clearly made by a Singaporean player known as Yonk, who is apparently now a writer at Geek Culture.
