Half-Life Custom Game Settings File

Liblist.gam is a custom game settings file used by the video game Half-Life. It contains settings used to show a custom game mode in either Half-Life's Custom game menu or Steam's game library, as well as launch the game mode.

Originally, Half-Life was published as a CD-ROM-based game available for Windows. This version of Half-Life allowed players to create and add custom game modes, which were available to select from within the game.

This version of Half-Life also allows players to create and launch custom game modes, but shows those game modes as separate games in players' Steam game library.
