Gold Source (also known as Gold Src) is a heavily-modified version of the original Quake 1 engine, that powered some of the most critically acclaimed games of it's day:
- Half-Life
- Half-Life: Opposing Force
- Half-Life: Blue Shift
- Team Fortress Classic
- Counter-Strike
- Day of Defeat
- and many more.
A powerful and versatile engine for it's time, it helped propel modding forward quite a bit with its mod development tools. And even though it's already 10+ years old, it's mod projects are still going strong.

A massive improvement compared to the Quake engine it's based on. Easy to use and powerful, if you know what to do, the possibilities are endless.
the perfect engine if you want make a game in 90s style
hate to be a wanker but i though the engine is based of the quake 2 and some bits of quake 1 as well
No. GoldSrc is a heavily modified Quake 1 engine, and Valve has stated that only about 50 lines of code were taken from the Quake 2 engine.
Ah ok
