It's really hard to get normal people to deal with emulators so that you can build a community. And the original Halo allocated memory in a weird way that often screws things up.
- dangus 1y agoHalo is a terrible example because it’s a game where the Mac version was never a very good way to play in the first place. I would guess that 99% of Halo players would be surprised to know it had a Mac version. We should have a path to run legacy software when it’s practical but Halo is just not a good example to make that case. I’d also personally be more interested in firing up the master chief collection or seeing if the upcoming campaign remake will be any good.
- ch_sm 1y agojust as a little side note: while it really isn‘t regarded as a typical mac game nowadays, Halo was originally planned as a Mac-exclusive, before Microsoft bought Bungie. If memory servese me right, Jobs even presented it as an exclusive at some MacWorld or Expo.
