Half Life for PowerPC Macs

[jeffburg]

Did anyone try the Half Life unofficial PowerPC back port from Macintosh Garden? I put it on my iMac G4 and it runs suuuper well! Like way better than Max Payne. Ah but I just googled it and it looks like Max Payne is at least 3 years newer than Half Life. So that would explain why Half Life runs so well. But anyway, It was super nostalgic to play it again because I have not really played it or counterstrike or any other related games since like 2005. I recommend if you have a PowerPC Mac that runs Leopard (but apparently a Tiger version is coming?)

Half-Life (Xash3d) (PPC) - Macintosh Garden

Neat! But I was really hoping the Logicware OS 9 version made it out somehow. I think that will now be lost after Burger Becky passed away.

Can't really test this one until they add 10.4.11 support, though.

SRP has been crushing it with new PPC apps lately. He also authored a PowerPC Plex/media front end player which works well on my pmG5 I have this HL port on the list and am pumped to play through it but all my retro macs are unplugged and my office in the process of being emptied out for a paint job and new carpet installation (what a mess. I have too much junk! lol)
