Looks like this is only for the original Half Life. I have Half Life: Source and I cant get it to download or work on my Mac.
Really? There wasn't much difference between the two though, just graphics, right?

Third party mods have extra compiled code (DLL's). So unless Valve has done something that lets OS X Half-Life run Windows code...
Am I the only one who was hoping we'd see the OS 9 (Mac Classic OS ) version released? Even just for fun?

I wonder if this is a port of Half-Life: Source, or of the actual (Non-Source) Half-Life.
That game was awesome when it first came out.
I used to play it up close on a 120" projection screen with 5.1 Surround system in the dark and it was very scary!
I wonder if Steam would let me play it on the Mac for free, considering I owned the Windows version.
I guess I'll sign in later to see what happens.
Damn, people are still worked up over a 12 year old game?
When I click, I get the Steam launch box, but that disappears and nothing happens. If I look under Window, it shows it there, but if I go to it, nothing.

Yes it will. Games on valve keep both their Mac and PC version in one copy.

If that doesn't say enough about VALVe.. Well it doesn't actually. Nothing can tell you how amazing VALVe is. If you have not played Portal, do that now. Notice the company took their time to port this old game over to the Mac just so they can sell them for cheap. They care about customers, not money. Making games free for a limited time before they make a sequel... thats great marketing that makes everybody happy!
I can confirm that the following are available for Mac, I am downloading them right now:
Half Life (Beta)
Counter Strike (Beta)
Day of Defeat
Deathmatch Classic
Opposing Force
Blue Shift
Ricochet
Team Fortress Classic
All of these came up when I activated the CD Key from my old Windows copy of Half Life Generation.
Edit: Ok, maybe not.... only Counter Strike (Beta) seems to run... the others, despite allowing the game files to download, wont launch.
Same thing. I click to launch HL, the window pops up that says it's preparing to launch, then it just disappears.

Given that source has been on OS X for a long time now, and the article says "Original Half-Life" I think you've pretty much already got your answer...
