This page documents information about a third-party game which is based upon Valve's  intellectual property and has been officially licensed by Valve.

Codename: Gordon is a wacky platformer game heavily inspired by Half-Life 2, released before it by few months ahead and created using Adobe Flash (formerly Macromedia Flash) for the game-engine and Adobe Photoshop for the graphics. Developed by Nuclear Vision and published by Valve.

It features 6 chapters, 8 different enemies, 5 weapons (Crowbar, Pistol, SMG, Gravity Gun, Grenade) and a full-fledged buggy with Gunship battle.

The game also includes a highscore system with network support and a bunch of funny secrets.

Note:Codename: Gordon has been delisted on Steam, as the developer, Nuclear Vision, has gone bankrupt. Their former website used for scoreboard is coded into the game itself, and said website has been repossessed. The game is still available to download by clicking the Launch it now button above or using the steam://launch/92 to Install/Launch the game. Despite this game delisted in 2008, a Steam header (cover) for the game was added in 2012 (which can be only viewed in SteamDB or other site). Also this game is still playable offline even after Flash support has been ended, as it's was a standalone app thats runs on older version of Flash which never got the timebomb that usually disable Flash after Jan 12, 2021.
