ADAM is a very bizarre add-on. You are an alien of some sort, whose DNA has been altered to resemble Gordon Freeman. You’ve been sent back in time to save your race from something or other by killing someone called Einstein. It’s not really clear unless you read the Readme, which is never a good way to introduce a mod.

There’s no new graphics, and the only new models are a new Rocket Launcher and a… well, naked lady. This is, to the best of my knowledge, only one of two R rated Half-Life mods (The other being by the same author, Hourglass). But the levels… well, they’re very VERY evil. Several times you can be killed without warning - one which springs to mind is an elevator which gets blown up half-way down and results in a very long fall to your death - and when I say without warning, I mean it. There’s no way to tell. Quick Save before using an elevator, jumping down a hole into water or using a teleporter.

Other level pitfalls include confusing design, instant-kill moments, having to fight your way through several guards before getting your hands on a hazard suit (it’s in one of the boxes before the first elevator) and many, many irritating concepts.

Grey Dog is obviously a talented fellow (his follow-up Hour Glass proves this) but this mod fails to show it. If anything, it often resembles Half-Quake in places - it seems determined to kill you. Only play if you’re feeling sadistic.

Phillip, Please post this mod with a [+18] Age warning. it’s really needed for those under age peeps don’t go pissing off there parents..
JC 20th April 2006 at 06:17 3

That’s right, this mod was rated “M.A.” when it came out. (seems like some people find a low polygon model offensive just because it’s naked… LoL).

Anyways, this mod is weird but somehow fun to play, give it a try (but only if you’re above 18. You don’t wanna piss off your mom and dad, do you?) LoL

I remember that I’ve played the mod with my young child…little embarrassed with the thing…but funny…
heyzors 18th May 2006 at 00:55 5

Do the downloads for this mod not work anymore? I tried on filefront and it didnt work…they all said that the page could not be found when I clicked on the download servers. I do want to try this mod though (not because of the naked woman) because it sounds challenging and I like challenging mods. So please respond Phillip.
heyzors 20th May 2006 at 03:57 6

Ignore my last post. I got it somewhere else.

My next question is…Is game suppossed to have no health bar, suit energy bar, or ammo bar? This seemes like the game that might have that kind of thing, but I want to know before I get into the game so it doesnt get even more difficult. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
heyzors 20th May 2006 at 04:14 7

I just realized that my flashlight wont work either. And I cant switch weapons. This is starting to reall piss me off!
planetphillip 30th June 2006 at 16:58 8

Can somebody supply some screenshots for this mod?
CorvetteAddict 30th June 2006 at 19:33 9

Hey,

You can use some pics from my review of Adam on HLSpain.com if you want.

Link: http://www.hlspain.com/?go=adam

When i did the review, i had a very old computer so that’s the reason why the pics have a lot of bright. Sorry :-/

Regards !!

Phil. It’s Advisable to place an 18+ warning for this mod. As it dose contain nude gina , some scripted *** scenes , *** images in some places..
planetphillip 2nd July 2006 at 12:39 11

CorvetteAddict: Thank you for allowing me to use the screenshots.

Jazzman: I already have thge nore about the mod containing adult content.
Zockopa 2nd July 2006 at 18:18 12

I like Grey Dogs “Hour-Glass” way more than this one released one year earlier. Sadly Grey Dog disappeares from the scene after 2001. Another highly talented and skilled mapper lost to Real-Life i guess.
Scientists Killer 4th July 2006 at 07:10 13

wow! this mod has plenty of pictures of naked chicks. I love it!
ooftymagoofty 29th July 2006 at 04:31 14

The game reminded me of a tradiga-comedy in opera. That guy really gets torqued around.
I didnt know that was Gina.
tommy 1st August 2006 at 14:09 15

can somebody supply a walkthrough? i cant find my HEV Suit
druidhealer 28th August 2006 at 01:43 16

Again, does this mod have the health and suit meter and can one change weapons-or is this a glitch and I will have to reload the mod again??????
planetphillip 28th August 2006 at 09:51 17

I don’t know. But somebody out there must do! COme readers let’s help druidhealer (Shame you’re not a halflifehealer!).

This is a call to my knowledgable readers. WHo can help?
Mek 13th September 2006 at 11:03 18

yes, it DOES have a HEV suit, along with flashlight etc.
but you have to find it, it is hidden in one of the boxes. break them using the pistol (the nmachine gun never works and you do not have the crowbar).
this mod is funny, but I got somehow stuck at level 10 - this seems to have no ending, but there IS level 11 and 12 etc. (tried the map level11 console command). Any help?
john 14th September 2006 at 07:49 19

just got done, was a good funny mod. them grunts shure know how to live, but not share.
is their going to be a sequal EVE? hehe

Can anyone tell me why this mod doesn’t show in the My Games List on Steam and why it crashes to desktop when trying to load. I’ve even used the Server Config. file from another mod and it still crashes to desktop. Please help. Everyone seems to enjoy playing. I’d enjoy the same opportunity.

Never mind the last post. I figuredit out. Deleted Adam and reinstalled for the 4th time, this time it worked. Thanks anyway.
shawn 4th June 2007 at 05:09 22

Wow–another designer’s effort wasted due to a few bugs. Weapons don’t work, or you can’t access a weapon after picking up another weapon.
Goddess 4th June 2007 at 07:20 23

Shawn, please read comments 16-18 to find your solution and no, it’s not another designer’s effort wasted due to a few bugs.
Sally 26th July 2007 at 16:35 24

There seems to be a bug at the start of the “Leap Of Faith” section. After dropping down the ventilation shaft the loading text appears, then you find yourself glued to the spot - game over.

I’d say…

…if you don’t mind having to give up because you become superglued to the floor half way through.
Sally 26th July 2007 at 17:46 25

Actually, I’ve just found a way around the ’superglue”. Throw a grendade down the hatch and jump after it straight away. The loading screen appears, the grendade dissapears, and you land on the platform without being “glued”.
andyb 26th July 2007 at 19:18 26

I didn’t have any proplem on that map except for pickin the wrong jump spot lol.
poisonheadcrab 30th December 2007 at 04:42 27

This mod was fun but the author a little strange.
poisonheadcrab 1st January 2008 at 03:01 28

why did you edit my comment I blocked out the F word.

Because I found it offensive.
CosmicElement 16th July 2008 at 22:04 30

Strange design choices in the beginning (”where the hell is the HEV suit”) lead to fun-filled maps with intense shootouts and the occasional entertaining room (one of them has naked girls, which is where the ‘R’ rating stems from). Story is alright, with a plot twist or two nearing the end. However, pay specific attention to the readme. One of the puzzles at the end (involving a portal) requires you to shoot/activate a specific target.

All-in-all, a fun set of maps with an awkward start. Play Hour-Glass (also by Grey Dog) for a more refined experience.
Robspace1 28th September 2008 at 08:25 31

Nope.Didn’t do it for me. I quit somewhere near the end down in another dark tunnel. The darkness in this is way too much. My flashlight would run out in just a few seconds and I just don’t like dark games. It also was a little sadistic with the women. The “chicks” in this are not even close to looking real and when I take careful aim to not shoot the women who is with the soldier, she somehow gets killed as well, which I thought was not fair. Here the girls tryin to make a living and she gets killed for no reason? The fighting in this is non stop but it is heavily tilted toward the enemy. I was constantly being overwhelmed. If it had more light, and I had it turned all the way up, I may have finished it but to play this long in near total darkness was no fun for me.
