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.

I installed windows on my mac to play half life two weeks ago after being tired of waiting -_-
