Half-Life Finally Makes It's Way To Macs

Half-Life originally came out for PCs back in 1998, but the game never released on Mac software even though its sequel did. Finally Mac owners can purchase the original Half-Life through Steam.

Could this recent release of the original Half-Life mean that Valve is prepping to announce Half-Life 3?

No, it probably doesn't mean that. Sorry. But Mac users should still go buy the game on Steam.

  • It feels like the first time. . . .it feels like the very first time.
  • Most disappointing article ever!!!

    Not really but I thought it was HL3 and now I'm sad... brain, y u no read and release happy juice first? Oh well... where are the tissues...

    Is it the original or source? Good I guess but it won't turn heads these days if they want to draw in new crowd before the big one :)
  • Wha--?! Oh, the original Half-Life. Almost freaked when I saw the Half-Life logo there. I suppose it might be some subtle indication of 3, but if that's all fans get, I guess the onion-rings are pretty much as good then. Still nice for Mac owning fans I guess.
  • It's "its." Not "it's." /grade school grammar/spelling rant.
  • Every time I see a Half Life logo on this site I get super excited that it might be Half Life 3. It never is. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever.
  • Finally, I can experience one of the greatest games ever made from the very beginning
  • Frankly, I'm waiting for the finished Black Mesa
  • Damn it! I read "Half-Life Finally" and the first thing that went through my mind was "omfg Half-Life 3!" Why do I have my hopes so high for a 3rd one? :( *Sad face is sad*
  • I still played and beat Half-Life on my mac years ago. I downloaded a port that somebody made and it worked wonderfully on my 2006 iMac

  • This better be Valve's version of Wind Waker HD, something to tie us over for a few years before the next game.

  • Lol, took a while did ya?

  • I see you have moved on from me...got yourself a fine little lassy. It's ok, I'll be here to make your sandwiches when you decide to come back. You'll come back...won't you? What should I do?
  • For the thirteen people who didn't find some way to play it via emulator or by getting to try on a friend's PC, I'm sure this is fantastic news.

  • Heh. I love my mac hardware, and since I can't take my PC desktop on the road with me, every new and old game that comes out for OSX or iOS is a welcome sight; Half-life 1, however, is way too old. I mean, if for some reason you're past puberty and haven't finished this game at least once, then by all means, go purchase it. Otherwise, this is irrelevant.

  • BEST GAME EVER...
  • in other news nobody cares about apple crap or what games apple crap has since it has none.
  • Half Life hates you...
  • I installed windows on my mac to play half life two weeks ago after being tired of waiting -_-
  • Took em long enough...
