They were also working on a Mac version.  But the Mac plan was subsequently discontinued.  I wanted to play Half-Life badly and see what a successful game was like.  And I bought a cheap, used PC in 2001 and played a lot of PC games including Age of Empires II, Civilization III and Half-Life.  Half-Life wasn&#8217;t exactly the kind of games I would enjoy.  I don&#8217;t enjoy looking for clues to go from one point to another.  So I didn&#8217;t really understand why Half-Life was such a big hit those days.<br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<table width=\"460\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/screenshots\/games\/half_life_2_e2_game_play_01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/screenshots\/games\/half_life_2_e2_game_play_01.jpg\" width=\"220\" height=\"137\" alt=\"Half-Life 2 Episode Two Mac Boot Camp\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/screenshots\/games\/half_life_2_e2_game_play_02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/screenshots\/games\/half_life_2_e2_game_play_02.jpg\" width=\"220\" height=\"137\" alt=\"Half-Life 2 Episode Two Mac Boot Camp\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<strong>Valve Software<\/strong> released <strong>Half-Life 2<\/strong> in November, 2004.
