    In my country so called "Internet Cafes" were very popular at that time - access to high bandwidth internet was very expensive. It was a place with tens of computers, all connected to LAN, where you could play in pay-per-hour fashion. We used to spent every Friday/Saturday night in such caffe, with beverages, food, alcohol and a lot of playing fun. LAN parties without your own computer and connection.

    Same here man! I'm 33 now and 1.6 has been so impactful in my life I will cherish that game for all eternity. I owe my whole career as an IT Administrator to CS. Seeing the tournaments and stuff going on now makes me immensely proud to have been a tiny part of the history of CS. We've gone from the basement to the big arenas, and yet every day I miss the olden days of 1.6. There was something so charming about that game. Even the imperfections just contributed to how amazing the game was, like crazy wallbangs and stuff. And as I read all the comments of this video I am mostly reminded of what made 1.6 so great. The community was fantastic. The maps and mods of that game will never be beaten.

    As a casual, I think 1.6 will always be the best version just because of the community and custom gamemodes that you could play. Superhero Mod, Warcraft 3 Mod, PokéMod, Basebuilder, Jailbreak, Zombiemod, Hide and Seek are the top ones that come to memory. Func vehicle also was the icing on the cake for 1.6 and I can't believe it was never brought back for go/cs2!

    The graphics were gritty but the tone of the game was never serious militarism to me. The digital sound effects on various menus, the "need to buy weapon" design (especially funny if you are CT, think about it), the grafitti of dev and map makers scattered in corners of maps, all made me treat it as a "Game!" game, which is so different from games with serious settings such as Delta Force series around the same time. The game being born around y2k (and before 9/11) has also put on a layer of techno-optimism upon it, fast internet, LAN parties, iPod, a new millennium with so many possibilities...Man it was good times, it was too good.

    Man this brings back memories. We started by playing Half Life in our high school computer lab after school when all the teachers left. That eventually switched to the CS mod. Played every version of CS over the years, went to high school with some amazing players who started team zEx, one of the top teams in the country in the 2000s. Worked at LANferno in the 2000s and loved every minute of it. Tournaments, friends, non-stop gaming. After we closed it was invite only and we scrimmed all night every night. Made some lifelong friends there.

    I went from having landlines calls with my neighbor in 2002 when we would play in pump servers in 1.5, to playing in cal league with a bunch of guys I met somehow or another in 2006, to playing cs2 with the very same guys the past month. I met some of my favorite people through counter strike and had some amazing, hilarious memories associated with the game, it’ll always be legendary in my mind

    I remember going over to my older brother's friends house and being introduced to cs 1.0 when I was around 7 or 8 years old. I was instantly intrigued by what I was looking at and after playing I was instantly addicted. CS may be the best game ever created. I don't play the new CS2 as much as the older versions when I was a kid, but I'll never forget where I started and how much fun 1.6 was and still is to this day. What an amazing childhood.

    Original mod was better. Better maps like cs militia, mansion, lambda, cs docks, de dust was the most popular. There was even a goldeneye map. Sight on m4a, shotgun model and sound changed multiple times. More importantly never spotted a cheater at least in the mod version. Cheating began in 2003 but was rare.

Got my son into watching pro tournaments he has started his cs journey at the age of 6.
