Prepare for heavy Counter-Strike nostalgia with this Prodigy map port
Crack open a nice fresh can of Surge and settle into the glow of the huge 800x600 CRT monitor, because it's time to relive the glory days of Counter-Strike with Hobbit's classic bomb defusal map Prodigy. Some form of Prodigy has appeared in every version of Counter-Strike since Beta 4.0, until it was dropped in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Now it's back, thanks to some fastidious map modders.
Prodigy was originally created by Alexander 'Hobbit' Manilov, and he started work on the level that would become de_prodigy the same night he was first introduced to Counter-Strike at a LAN party. The map features two bomb locations and is set in a mountain military base of some kind. Terrorists must bomb either the computer lab or a fuel pipeline control room, and the level is a sometimes confusing jumble of corridors and rooms.
The port you can now find on the Steam Workshop is based on the improved version of Prodigy introduced in Counter-Strike 1.6, after Manilov joined Gearbox Software to help work on Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. Modder just sid says this port is almost identical to the 1.6 version, with some minor changes and lighting adjustments.
