If you’re someone who is into PC gaming and you like to play games from the 90s, then you must agree that there were two most defining moments for shooting games that decade. First in 1993 when Id software released Doom and second in 1998 when Valve software released Half-life. Half-life is one of the most influential and groundbreaking FPS games ever made. It’s a game that is still being played to this day with an assortment of mods and spin-offs still populated with substantial fan bases.

Half-life is a first-person shooter video game developed by Valve and published by Sierra Studios for Microsoft Windows in 1998. In half-life, you take on the role of Gordan Freeman, just a typical theoretical physicist working in the fictional Black Mesa Research Facility. It’s a normal day for Gordon up until a routine experiment goes wrong and a portal to an alien world is opened up unleashing the swarms of the nasties into the facility.

His hazardous environment suit or HEV protected him, he beings a long journey fighting all manners of aliens and hostile soldiers. Along the way Gordan can also be aided by the members of the science & security team, sometimes these guys are even essential in progression as they’re needed to unlock security doors and so forth.

Half-life runs on the Gold Source engine, which looks like a modified Quake II engine and it allows us some cool looking particle effects despite low polygon models and blurry textures.

Half-life 2 Mac Cider

After its initial release for Windows systems, several Half-Life ports were developed for additional platforms. Some of these would go unreleased.

• 1Released
• 2Cancelled

Released[edit]

PlayStation 2[edit]

The PlayStation 2 version was announced to be developed by Gearbox Software on November 17, 2000.^[1] It was released in November 2001. The character and weapons models are much more detailed in this version. The levels were also updated and extended based on the work from the Dreamcast port. The game also features an exclusive multiplayer cooperative mode called Half-Life: Decay, and a two player multiplayer deathmatch mode.

Other[edit]

The Mac OS X and Linux ports were developed and released by Valve on Steam without any prior announcements on January 25, 2013.^[2] Both versions support cross-platform, allowing the players to play with PC users online. The SDK was also ported over to allow modders to create and compile mods for these platforms.^[3]

Half-Life: Source[edit]

Half-Life: Source is a direct port of Half-Life to the Source engine. It was released along with Half-Life 2 on November 16, 2004. It uses the special effects and physics engine features of the new engine. According to Doug Lombardi, it began as an experiment to see what modders would experience if they attempted to bring their Half-Life mods forward to Source. The multiplayer portion was released in another package called Half-Life Deathmatch: Source in 2005. Both games were later ported to Mac OS X and Linux and released in 2013.^[4][5]

Cancelled[edit]

Macintosh[edit]

Unrelated to the Mac OS X version that was ultimately released by Valve in 2013, the Macintosh (Mac OS) port of Half-Life was announced to be in development by Logicware on April 23, 1999.^[6] According to Rebecca Heineman, a programmer on the project, the work on the game was nearly done, and it was three weeks away from the gold master when it was cancelled on October 19, 1999.^[7]

Heineman claims that someone at Apple overestimated the number of units of the game would sell and told Gabe Newell that they can sell half a million units. Newell funded and hired Logicware to work on the project. Sierra found out that the figures they were getting were nowhere near the projected sales, meaning the game would not sell enough to support the ongoing development it would need to keep it in sync with the updates to the PC version. This led to the cancellation of the project.^[8] Several years later, a second attempt almost brought this Mac port fruition, but this plan was once again came to an end, this time due to a rejection by Newell.^[9]

The game was designed with cross-platform capability in mind, which allowed Mac users to play with PC users online. It was cut after Sierra's decision, possible to avoid a situation of a patch breaking the compatibility between the platforms sometime in the future. It is unknown if the game was intended to have mod support. This could be done by a possible source code release to allow modders to recompile and port over their mods.

Dreamcast[edit]

A Dreamcast port was initially planned to be developed by PyroTechnix, a division of Sierra at the time. Starting in January 1999, only one software engineer had a very short opportunity to begin work on the project, having access to the game's source code for three days, before the company received word that Sierra was closing them down, quickly cancelling this iteration of the port.^[9]

On February 14, 2000, the Dreamcast version was announced to be in developed by Gearbox Software and Captivation . It was stated that Captivation would be handling the technology work while Gearbox would create all of the new content. It was cancelled only a few weeks away from its projected release date, due to changing market conditions on June 15, 2001.^[10][11] The port was to feature an exclusive mission pack called Half-Life: Blue Shift, which was later released for PC as a standalone expansion pack, along with the new models created for the port.

GameCube[edit]

After releasing their PlayStation 2 port, Gearbox began considering bringing Half-Life to the NintendoGameCube as well. In early 2002, they hired Russell Bornschlegel, who previously worked on the cancelled Dreamcast port at Captivation as the lead engineer, to perform the engine research. However, only a bare feasibility analysis was completed as the company decided not to go forward as they believed the port ultimately wouldn't be profitable.^[9]
