8 Great Mods that Became Retail Games

Icefrog didn't start Dota he took over years after it came out and I believe was famous for making the most balanced version (Could be wrong). Eul is the guy who gets the credit for the original warcraft mod.
Console gamers are not allowed these nice things. We They cannot be trusted. Was expecting Day z here, but there are probably so many more mods of greatness to behold.
Surprised that Gunman Chronicles didn't make it onto the list. It started as a Quack engine mod and then a Half Life mod after all.
To be fair though, the list does contain enough (gold-)source engine games already.

That was interesting! I didn't realise that is where a lot of the titles that eventually spawned successful sequels came from... then again, I did wonder once what Team Fortress 1 was... now I know!
Because Portal was never a mod. It was based on a student project called "Narbacular Drop," a full game in its own right - if rough around the edges, as it was, in fact, a learner's game.martyrdrebel27 said:
i'm well aware of narbacular drop, but for some reason i always thought it was a mod before being picked up by Valve.Asuterisuku said:
While I was looking at the first screenshot, I was reminded of the videos I watched on the Killing FLoor weapon animator's YouTube channel. For a future installment, what about top modders in the community? I know this site's got at least one rather successful and talented individual in the form of [user]Lt. Rocky[/user].ffronw said:
Damn, actually, I think I'll go make that thread right now.
