This “reflective” floor from Half-Life: Blue Shift’s intro sequence is a Classic Hack.

It is, of course, actually a glass floor with a copy of the room underneath.

The impressive part is they went all-in and included the NPCs. Not sure if they just flipped the NPCs and scripted sequence upside down (not as simple as it sounds) or made a custom animation. Makes for a good gif though.
