new mod for old half-life   (link)

http://www.theshiponline.com/index.php?page=&action=show&id=9805
Welcome to The Ship.

Congratulations! You've just won a free ticket to a dream cruise onboard a spectacular, replica 1920's cruise ship! All you've got to do is put your copy of Half Life 1 in your machine, download the small patch and step onboard!

You might find a few things to concern you while you're enjoying the luxurious surroundings, like the fact that you have the name of another passenger, your quarry, visible on your screen… It might be a good idea to find that person and get rid of them in some way because somewhere there's another passenger with your name. They'll be looking for you and it's not going to be a friendly meeting…

This is just Mr X's way of making you pay for your free cruise by keeping him entertained… Murder your quarry in an interesting way and he'll even pay you money! Just don't get caught by the Ship's security or witnessed by too many passengers or you'll go straight to jail, suffer a hefty fine and probably lose your weapons…

Be sure to make use of the Ship's facilities while you're exploring: eat drink and be merry as they say or you may find death comes upon you through your own ineptitude rather than your hunter's finesse… And if you think your hunter's getting too close? Try changing your clothes: you may throw them off the scent… For a while…
