The guys who made Counter-Strike used the source code to make the first version of Counter-Strike. It was the first sign of what today's first person shooters are; it had a good physics engine and the guns had ammunition/reloading/etc... minus all the Hints and "helpful tips".

IMO the original Half-Life was a massive step forward. Valve does/did an incredible job with it.
