Long ago I bought the HL Platinum edition and have had it ever since. I have some mods for HL1 that need steam installed. I want Steam to recognise that I have HL1 and want Steam to connect with it so I can play it though Steam. I don't want to add a shotcut to HL1 because I have done that already. These mods won't install unless Half-Life 1 is run through Steam. How do I get HL1 into Steam without paying for a new HL1 in the Steam Store?

In Steam, go to Games > Activate a product on Steam.. then use your Platinum collection CD-Key.

Unfortunately, this means you'll have to redownload the Steam version of Half-Life and it's expansions, so your current non-steam installation is useless when it comes to Steam.

You're also screwed if someone else has registered your CD-key.
