I compiled this from various web pages-not original work (lazy dog) Many sites
were misleading but this compiled text is what worked for me. Save this as a
text file in your HL directory for future reference. (only
if it helps, of course)

Right-click on your desktop. Click on New / Shortcut.

Type in: C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\hl.exe -dev -console

**That did not work for me but this did;
D:\SIERRA\Half-Life\hl.exe -console +sv_cheats 1
(I installed on my D: drive)

When you put in the CD, exit from the menu that pops up automatically.
Use the desktop shortcut to start the game.
Now type in sv_cheats 1 at the console to enable cheat mode.
Don't exit the program, but restart the game or reload your saved game.
The console is now active in single-player mode and you can input the
cheats.
Press the tilde ~ to bring down the console.
You have to do this each time you start the game from your desktop.
You can't turn on cheat mode if you start from the CD's autoplay menu,
or from the Start menu items installed by the game.
After you open the console with the tilde ~ key, type one of the following:

D:\SIERRA\Half-Life\hl.exe -console +sv_cheats 1

After you type in the sv_cheats 1 line and hitting return, you have
to resume your game until you hit the next map. Once that happens,
you can open your console and type in whatever cheat code you want
to use, and it'll work.
