CS was originally released under the name `Half Life: Counter-Strike` by Le Minh (Minh Gooseman) and Jess Cliffe.
Over time, CS has been upgraded through versions of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, Counter-Strike: Source, Counter-Strike: Anthology, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Counter-Strike Online.
CS is set in the context of two terrorist (Terrorist) and counter-terrorist (Counter-Terrorist) teams confronting each other.
`The game still retains its original formula to this day. However, it also makes me realize I’m old,` commented a Reddit user during the 20th anniversary of CS games in 2019.
An interesting piece of information is that the father of this game is a Canadian computer game designer and producer Le Minh (born 1977).
Starting with the Counter-Strike mod running on Half-Life with the support of Jess Cliffe in 1999, it immediately created a stir.
Le Minh started playing Quake in 1996 and has been tinkering with the SDK since then.
`I became a game designer because of an incident. I went to university to learn how to program computers. I planned to become a programmer and work in a software business.
It took a few years but I eventually became good at it.
Le Minh started working on Counter-Strike with the GoldScr engine while he was in the middle of his fourth year at Simon Fraser University (he later graduated with a degree in computer science).
After a period of working for Valve, the father of the CS game quit his job to carry out his own projects.
In an interview on Zing not long ago, Le Minh identified himself as a very gullible person.
According to Le Minh, this person is not a bad guy, but he promises a lot but is not competent enough to run a game company.
