Gooseman finds rare footage of the room Counter-Strike was created in

Minh "Gooseman" Le, one of the co-creators of the original Counter-Strike game, has shown the room where he invented CS. The footage is from a 2002 documentary made by Robin Benger, the father of former pro Griffin "shaGuar" Benger.

They went to Gooseman's house in Vancouver and interviewed the "brains" behind CS. Gooseman was 23 years old at the time and lived with his parents.

While Mr. Benger was very critical of CS at the time, he said he found a "sweet guy" instead of an "evil genius." You can check out the footage in its entirety below and see what his room looked like.

In 2002, Gooseman and Jess Cliffe had already sold the Counter-Strike IP to Valve and were working for the developer. Gooseman told Dust2.us that he was a remote employee at the time Mr. Benger filmed the documentary.

Though Gooseman is very focused on the development of his new PvE shooter Alpha Response, he's also been digging into the past of CS as of lately.

Last week, for example, Gooseman shared a screenshot from the very first play session of CS in 1999.

If you're interested in knowing more about the history of CS, we interviewed Gooseman in May and discussed the origin of CS, what the game has become, and his new title Alpha Response.
