Left 4 Dead (Early 2005 prototype)

To do

Holy Misinformation Batman!

- All that was released in the 25th anniversary update were the Client/Server game modules compiled with the TERROR ifdef.

- Map is from the CS:S Perforce licensee leak, which replaced all textures with the developer textures used in the Source Engine. No official compiled version exists in the public for either Source or GoldSource.

- Turtle Rock Studios likely prototyped this version of Terror-Strike in 2003 or 2004, around the time they were working on CSBot and CZero. They would later start working on CS:S in 2004, so it makes no sense for them to make this in 2005

- The people being thanked are for this custom build and not the official binaries.
