The SIGGRAPH 2000 Demo is a tech demo of Half-Life 2 that was privately shown at the SIGGRAPH computer graphics conference in 2000. It is notable for being a look into the very early development of the then-unnamed Source engine and its inclusion of a segment known as Get Your Free TVs!, which depicted citizens stealing TVs, throwing Molotov cocktails, and fighting a metrocop. A complete video of the demonstration was released officially by Valve for Half-Life 2's 20th anniversary.

Get Your Free TVs!
Get Your Free TVs! is the name given to the demonstration's opening segment, which is a scripted sequence that depicts citizens causing a riot.
Tank demonstration
Arctic demonstration
The third segment is a demonstration of the map demo_arctic. This section might have been included to show off the Source engine's displacements and how they can be used to create realistic terrain.
City 17 demonstration
Material and model demonstration
The fifth segment demonstrates Half-Life 2's cutting-edge materials and character models. This section features models for the Cremator, the Combot, the Gasmask Citizen, Barney, Alyx, Odell, Cohrt, the Metrocop, the Crab Synth, and the Strider.
