Nah, you should play it. Half-Life, much like OoT, is one of those games that stands the test of time. HL is still very much playable and enjoyable, even after HL2, and since you probably already own it with some Valve package, you have no excuse.

I already gave an excuse as to why I have never played HL1. I dont have a PC/dont have bootcamp. I would love to play it and will eventually. I just dont have the means to do so at the moment.

Considering that HL > HL2, you don't sound like a real Half-Life fanatic.

You're right!

A real fan would find a way to play it. He's just a fair weather fan.

I am finding a way to play, its just takes time and money. Ive already bought Leopard for the Mac so I can run bootcamp now. I just need to buy windows XP, which is costs more money than what I have at the moment. Speaking of which, any suggestions as to which Windows I should buy? Ive been on a Mac my entire life at home so I dont know to much about Windows or how well it runs on Macs.

I use this on my Mac. Its a slimmed down version of XP without all the crap. And its fits on a single CD so you just burn it to a CD after you've downloaded it. Works flawlessly.

I use it to reformat my parent's old Dell also.

of course...the original XP fit on one disc as well

and unless you bought a dell or HP pc loaded with crapware, windows xp is a lite os

but nevermind those details

anyway, XP is rock solid and is probably the "best" to bootcamp with

if you have 4gigs of ram, a true dual core processor, and a new video card, you're better of with vista. but can you do vista on mac? hmm, seems like an irrelevant question anyway.

black mesa: source might be of interest to some of you half-life fans, it's a remake of source all redone (which is going to be compared to half-life: source no doubt)
