About the Hitman franchise:

The creation of IO Interactive, the Hitman franchise got its start in 2000 with the release of Hitman: Codename 47 for PC. It has become an award-winning, multi-million selling videogame franchise. Agent 47, the games’ iconic central character, is a genetically enhanced clone, engineered into a highly skilled assassin. The franchise has boasted videogames, a major motion picture, books, comics, merchandise collectibles and amassed a voracious global fan base. Agent 47 celebrates his long awaited comeback with Hitman: Absolution, now available across North America, Europe and PAL territories for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Windows PC.

The original Hitman: Codename 47 game seems to be missing because it was a PC-exclusive all the way back in 2000. The developers have said it’s impossible to port it to consoles without entirely recoding the game from scratch. Which makes it ironic the HD Collection doesn’t get a PC release.
