	tl;dr: Half-Life has been ported to PowerPC Macs running Mac OS 9, 28 years after release and reviving a version Valve originally cancelled in 1999. GitHub user doctashay built the port using a fork of Xash3D FWGS (a GoldSrc engine reimplementation), with full single-player, multiplayer, and both Blue Shift and Opposing Force expansions playable on G3/G4 machines.
	HN Discussion: ↑Nostalgic appreciation recalling similar retro porting experiences from childhood ↑Surprise and interest in discovering the underlying GoldSrc open-source reimplementation ↑Speculation that AI tools could revive many obsolete platforms via similar projects •Historical context about Valve's original cancelled Mac port and other cancelled ports ↑Praise for the preservation effort with desire for more technical documentation
