Half-Life 1: Anthology

[TerminatorT850]

Does Half-Life 1: Anthology require steam to be able to play. I've read some posts claiming that U need to be connected to Steam even if u r playing single-player Half-Life or its expansions. Is it worth buying? I haven't playing Opposing Force actully. I've played both HL and BS. So, the main question is DO WE NEED TO BE ALWAYS CONNECTED TO STEAM if we r to play Half-Life. Secondly, I am just a 56k'r. And do we get the MANUALS that were included in the initial versions of Half-Life? Thanx in Advance.

Now that that's outta the way...

If you physically buy it, with the disks, you shouldn't need steam to play it. As for the manuals, I have no idea.

However, you'll need steam if you want to play multiplayer, which you probably wont anyway, since you'er a 56Ker.
